- Robert· May 31st, 2024Itinerary is good, execution not as good. Hotels should have been better and too much time spent driving around, not enough seeing sites.Show moreTrip date: April 2024
- KKaren· May 11th, 2024Excellent tour leaders G, Mike and the driver Ian. Fantastic group and fantastic destinations. However, be prepared for a lot of time on the bus. The tour may not be for the active person ( me) but the company and camaraderie made it worthwhileShow moreTrip date: May 2024
- DWDawn· October 23rd, 2023This was our first overseas trip and we could not have asked for a better experience! The tour guide, Rob Carr, was excellent - so knowledgeable, humorous and so caring about all of our group. He added so much with his stories and when we had bad weather, he was adept at changing things on the fly and taking us to see the sights off the beaten path. The tour featured a great mix of Scottish history, beautiful scenery and good fellowship between the other folks on the trip.Show moreTrip date: October 2023
- JRJake· September 25th, 2023Rob Carr was an entertaining and knowledgeable guide. He informed us and answered questions for us. He even looked up things he was unsure of and told us what he found later. He was personable and took us on side trips when he knew of something that was nearby that we would like. He brought in a kilted speaker about Culloden and a bagpiper at supper to entertain us. Loved the entire tour!Show moreTrip date: August 2023
- lisashlansky· August 15th, 2023Scotland is such a beautiful and idyllic country. BackRoads Tours gave me a chance to see it in a very relaxing and authentic way. The guide, and the driver were absolutely fabulous at all times I would recommend back road tours highly!Show more

- Valbona· September 19th, 2022The tour guide, Ed, and the driver, Abby, were amazing hosts to all of us. They did a great job helping us through the hotel changes as well as walking us through the history of each location we visited. The choice of hotel in Tobermory could have been a bit better, while they had beautiful views we could not take a shower in the room as the shower head was not connected to the water. Also, the beds were overused and we could feel the springs in our backs. All other locations were perfect. Thank you.Show moreTrip date: September 2022
- SSandy· September 4th, 2022Fabulous tour of Scotland. 16 people in a small very comfortable smaller bus lead by Tom, a man who is a storyteller of all things Scotland. Our days were balanced with scenic backroad driving with tourist stops, camera stops, comfort stops and coffee/ tea stops. Our day in Inverness included a stop to drop off laundry and a walking tour of the town with the afternoon to wander - a perfect place to do your own thing. My favorite days were in the islands Skye, Mull, Iona, smelling the sea air and taking ferries to new discoveries.Show moreTrip date: August 2022

Asked on May 21st, 2024Quick question for a future travelling trip. This tour looks great, but do you get to the Fairy Pools on Skye? Trying to find a trip like this that manages to get to all the cool natural spots on Skye.
- Blue-Roads TouringOperator•Written May 2024
To answer your question, there is no organised stop on this tour that makes a stop at the Fairy Pools on Skye. However this doesn't mean that the tour wont take you through some of Scotland's most beautiful landscapes. This tour includes highlights such as Cairngorms National Park, Culloden Battlefield, Quiraing, Kilt Rock and Old Man of Storr. All of which I believe are places that a nature lover such as yourself would enjoy. From my own personal experience I found the most beautiful parts of the country to been seen from the road, Its the perfect country for a road trip!
