What people love about Ullapool Tours
- Hebridean Escape 3 Day Tour
Excellent, knowledgeable driver who looked after us really well. We enjoyed his commentary and music and appreciated the effort he put into making the trip so lovely. The very full itinerary took us wonderful places and historic sites and stopped at just the right moment at a visitor centre or equivalent for a leg stretch, a walk or an easy lunch. All round we thought the experience was wonderful.

What a great tour with a really friendly, knowledgeable guide/driver. Kevin even went out of his way to take Carolyn and I to the new Iolaire Memorial which included quite a walk out of his way. Thank you so much Kevin!
- 3-Day The North Coast 500 Small-Group Tour from Inverness
The tour was exactly what I hoped for. Friendly and knowledgeable guide, and some good music to add atmosphere. A remarkable part of Scotland. So happy I did the trip.
