3-Day Isle of Skye and Highlands Inc Accommodation from Edinburgh

Posted By : L5181MFlaurenb
I really enjoyed my trip around the highlands and isle of Skye! I got to see all the things I wanted to see while on tour. The group was a nice small size and it felt like you could really get to know the driver. Paul was a great guide with lots of good stories and facts. I would never have guessed he was still in his first year of doing tours.

Our guide, Stephan was great. I could guess he was well prepared with countless myths, episodes, and historical facts. It was kind of my first tour with a guide  and I thought I would do again it as chances are allowed. And one more, his voice was so good, if he records book reading, I will definately subscribe it.

We had an absolutely incredible experience with our tour. Rob is an amazing guide, he tolled us many stories during these three days. We saw many beautiful places, and thanks to Rob, also had a lot of fun along the way. It could not be better. We invest some time searching for the right route and a right touring company to choose, and the choice we made was just perfect.

After a lifetime of longing to see Scotland, the 3-day Skye & Highlands tour, with guide Ian, was absolutely amazing. It started with finding a "Wee Heeland Coo" and a shiny sign at my seat as a surprise birthday recognition: charming!

Ian was a consummate (of-course-kilted) leader, with a wealth of well-told facts and stories, and a few outstanding groaners of jokes, as well as a fun musical playlist. His driving (Sprinter van) felt completely comfortable and safe, even on some pretty hinky roads, and he made every stop a treat with background, suggestions, assisting with photos, pointing out highlights, etc. Top guy!

The accommodations at Glencairn & Ardross in Inverness were just a dream, and again a birthday treat of delicious raspberry tarts with a welcoming b-day note -- this level of caring attention to detail by the tour operators and venues was really something special. The space was beautifully appointed, the bed was plush, the bath had towel-warmers and a temperature-set shower, and the breakfast offered so many options, all delicious, in a comfortable, gracious dining room.

The sights themselves were plentiful, fun, fascinating and awe-inspiring -- Skye, especially the Quiraing, was... well, i stood on that hilltop and cried with joy. A memory for a lifetime. Though the Old Man tried to hide in the mists, we managed some glimpses

We got to feed some Highland Cows, see gorgeous lochs and castles, wander through moving historical sites, visit some engaging towns -- we even dipped our faces into a freezy fairy-blessed stream, encouragd by Ian's tale-spinning and "I'll go first" bravado: every moment was filled with something interesting. Cannot express how fantastic it was.

Practical matters: regular and well-timed stops allowed for leg-stretching and a visit to the Loo, and/or to grab a light lunch (lots of options at these stops, we ate well at modest expense), and/or to grab a hot beverage against the typical November chill and wet -- yes, it rained: it's Scotland in November! Properly attired, it was perfectly atmospheric, and the bursts of sunlight were that much more appreciated among the highland mists. Our on-your-own dinners in Inverness were memorable -- especially the required haggis with neeps & tatties, along with some beautiful local salmon and produce

Downsides? nearly nil. The van's sound system was spotty, but Ian said there are planned repairs/upgrades: that will be a valuable improvement. The cruise on Loch Ness was brief, a scant half-hour; expected a longer trip; gorgeous scenery and a lovely time, just wish it was a bit longer, an hour at least. For the evenings of DIY dining, i would recommend looking into restaurants and getting reservations beforehand: we were sold out of several venues (found great alternatives, but that was a little grr)

Take this tour! If you're lucky, Ian will be your guide, but in any event it will be a wonderful time you'll always remember

Thank you for fulfilling a lifelong dream, and giving me the best birthday ever!

Just finished this 3 day tour and it was amazing. Chris, our tour guide was friendly, an excellent driver with a great sense of humor and a wealth of knowledge about the history of Scotland including Isle of Sky and the highlands. We had lots of photo opportunities and some of the places we stopped at were breathtaking. Accommodation was cozy and easy walk to town for dinner. Perfect amount of time to see some of Scotland’s beauty. Thanks for a lovely experience.

Wonderful tour of the Highlands, Isle of Skye, and stay in Inverness. Our guide, Iain, was knowledgeable, fun and took us to the best places for great views and photo opportunities. He went out of his way to ensure we had a wonderful, memorable trip by educating us on the history of the area, telling funny stories, playing Scottish music and generally ensuring we were all enjoying ourselves. The BnB in Inverness was in a central location next to the River Ness and walking distance to downtown. I highly recommend the tour, going on the smaller tour (16 small bus tour), and Iain.
