“Awesome!!!!! - By far the best day of our trip to Scotland. I have been considered to be a somewhat aggressive driver having owned several sports cars. We rented a car for the duration of our stay. After reading some reviews we decided to let go of isle of Skye part of our trip and do a tour for the day. We are so glad that I did. First it was the only day that I got to truly enjoy the scenery. Also the roads up to Neist Point were drivable but would not have been an enjoyable experience for my wife or myself. Finally, our guide was fantastic. Took us to see everything we wanted with great commentary. So much information that we would not have gotten from a book or online research. He also took us on a couple of side excursions that were not on our itinerary that allowed us to see things off the beaten path and to interact with the locals. If you want some local flavor do go to the giant museum. Cannot recommend highly enough” - Reviewed on 2024-10-16

“Four seasons in one day - We were blessed with mostly beautiful weather on the day we took our trip to the Isle of Skye. Fall was in the air and the leaves had started to change color. It was clear and cool and a perfect day for this drive through the Scottish Highlands. As the day progressed though, we encountered some rain showers, which actually made it more beautiful because then the rainbows came out! Several hours into our journey, even our driver Prashanth could not believe his eyes, when we came round a curve to dramatic views of snow-covered hills and mountains in the distance, which must have happened the night before, since he had been through the same area only two days prior. It was such a spectacular scene with sun and snow and rainbows that even he had to take some pictures. Then later in the day, it started to hail, and the wind whipped up and the sea became covered in whitecaps - again, a dramatic scene! It was a great day and it was expertly navigated by Prashanth who took us safely to every beautiful spot mentioned on the tour description, and a few that I believe were extra. It was a truly memorable day!” - Reviewed on 2024-10-23
