I recently took the 5-day Isle of Skye, Highlands, and Inverness tour with Highland Explorer Tours, traveling with my 81-year-old father — and it was truly one of the most memorable experiences we’ve ever shared. The Scottish Highlands were simply breathtaking, and the tour was perfectly paced so we could take in every bit of the wonder — from the dramatic landscapes of Glencoe to the mystical beauty of the Isle of Skye. Each stop felt thoughtfully chosen and timed, giving us the chance to really experience the magic rather than just pass through. Our guide, Paul, was absolutely outstanding. His deep knowledge of Scotland’s history, folklore, and landscape brought every place to life, and his humor and warmth made the journey even more enjoyable. What really stood out to me, though, was how kind and attentive he was to my father — always checking in, helping him when needed, and making sure he could fully enjoy every moment. That level of care meant the world to us. If you’re thinking about exploring Scotland, I can’t recommend this tour enough. It was the perfect mix of adventure, history, and heartfelt moments — and we’ll cherish the memories forever.
