- Carloway Broch - A distinctive structure in Scotland, the Broch at Carloway was likely constructed around 200 BC. This Iron Age building probably served as a residence for prominent community members.
- Gearrannan Blackhouse Village Ltd - Travel back in time and experience genuine island life at Gearrannan Blackhouse Village. It offers a glimpse into a past era! Visitors can observe traditional activities, including the weaving of Harris Tweed.
- Port Stoth - A beautiful small cove with white shell sands and turquoise waters. Once the northernmost cargo landing in the Outer Hebrides, it was used until the 1960s due to the absence of road infrastructure. The base of a crane remains next to a storage building constructed from the same red brick as the Butt of Lewis Lighthouse.
- Butt of Lewis Lighthouse - Often referred to as the windiest place in the UK, the Butt of Lewis Lighthouse, built in the 1860s to assist shipping, is unique as it is one of the few made from red brick transported to nearby Port Stoth. Watch waves crash against the impressive cliffs and spot soaring seabirds and seals swimming below.
- Lews Castle - Discover the grounds and interior of the magnificent Lews Castle, constructed in the mid-19th century as a country home for James Matheson, who amassed his wealth in the opium trade. Visit the attached Museum N’an Eilean, a bilingual heritage and cultural center.
- Stornoway - Visit Stornoway to explore gifts and souvenirs from local artisans and craftspeople, and enjoy the local drinks or have a meal before returning to your cruise ship, hotel, or Airbnb.

The perfect tour of Lewis! - We were treated like family as we explored the Wonders of the Isle of Lewis with our guide Luke. From the wonder of the Callanish Standing Stones to the history of the Bosta (Bostadh) Iron Age House, the Gearrannan Blackhouse Village and Dun Carloway Broch, to the beauty of Bosta Beach and Stornoway, we saw the best of Lewis with an excellent guide! Luke made us feel part of his Hebridian family on this day of beautiful sights!

Perfect Tour - I’m still basking in the glow of my tour of Harris and Lewis with my Granddaughter. Our guide Luke, ensured we saw all the highlights and thoughtfully answered my endless questions about life and the history of this beautiful island. Highly recommend that you contact Luke if you ever have the good luck and opportunity to visit the Outer Hebrides.

Luke is excellent. Our... - Luke is excellent. Our ship was delayed in docking for 3 hours and he just waited for us and extended his day to take us to tour around. He was so kind and reliable.

Many impressions in just one day - The day trip with Luke was great. He has responded to all wishes and has also taken short-term wishes into account. Our small group saw so much in a short time and the information from Luke about all the sights was very well explained.

A very professional tour of things we have wanted to see for quite some time. - We took several tours while we were in Scotland. This one was by far the best one. Luke is very professional. He is very knowledgeable and he gave us plenty of time to see the things that really interested in. And in our opinion this is the most interesting part of Scotland.

A great day with Luke on Lewis. - Luke was a wonderful guide. He is personable and full of knowledge. He even brought typical sweets and snacks for us to try. It would have taken two ship excursions to see what he showed us. Doing what only amounts to a snapshot of the area, it was great to have someone from the area to talk to as well. We recommend him highly.

Great day, great guide - Luke provided great information on our tour. He made our day a lot of fun. He took us to all the sites we requested and even added a couple of places he thought would interest us…and it did! We would strongly recommend this tour and Luke I promise you won’t be sorry!
