    The whole tour was amazing! Alex is amazing and really talented at what he does. Can see that he is very passionate about this job! Makes so much effort to explained literally everything to us and ensures our safety. Really felt like my mum and I got to experience Scotland in-depth. We had a lot of time to explore the places we went to. It did not feel rushed at all! Alex definitely deserves a raise!

    I had a wonderful time on the Highlander experience tour/ ultimate Skye experience. Michael our tour guide / driver was excellent. He was friendly and caring as well as being very knowledgeable about the areas we visited. The B and B I stayed in was lovely and well presented. I had a beautiful view of the river Ness from my window.

    Our Ultimate Skye Experience was fantastic. Our driver/guide, Neal, was outstanding at both jobs. We loved his passion for his home country and his eagerness to share his wealth of knowledge about the history of Scotland. Though we were on a schedule; we were often allowed input on where we would enjoy spending more or less of our time. He had great recommendations on local restaurants and nightlife. Our accommodations in Inverness, The Gluenuig House, were wonderful. Roz was a delightful hostess, and her home was beautifully furnished and spotless. The morning breakfasts provided plenty of satisfying options for everyone. We would highly recommend this tour.
