Flexibility and Customization - What really sets this app apart, though, is the flexibility it offers. We could easily customize our itinerary to suit our interests and pace, ensuring that we never felt rushed or overwhelmed. The app's suggestions for additional sites and hidden gems were invaluable, leading us to discover places we would have never found on our own.

Breathtaking Beauty - The self-guided tour allowed us to take in the beauty of Skye at our leisure. The provided information enhanced our journey, making it educational and enjoyable.
I would recommend checking the email after the booking as you need to download a SEPERATE APP . We got confused at first but the support was helpful & guided us perfectly

Great little travel guide - Really good concept, handy that it can be downloaded beforehand for when phone signal disappears. Full of great information and even a few hidden spots we would have missed otherwise. Only complaint is that by the time it tells you to turn you have already gone past the junction, so you have to really watch the screen for upcoming prompts of you end up having to turn around.

Not worth the money - Good for places to see while you are visiting the Isle of Skye, however the gps function doesn't work properly so you might as well just look up the locations and navigate yourself there if you have sat nav.
