satyam· January 17th, 2025You should definitely take this trip once.Trip date: October 2024- AAnonymous· January 4th, 2025Best way to see the Highlands and Isle of Skye with other people your age! We were always given options are a group to what we wanted to see and Neil was great at taking us to some hidden gems.Trip date: August 2024
- MManuela· December 23rd, 2024It was amazing! I would take a tour with MacBackpackers any day. Our tour guide is the greatest driver and story teller I've seen (it's a shame I don't remember her name. But it's the girl who likes to dye her her with cool colors). It was super well planned. Time management was impecable, the choosing of the places we went was spectacular and also the recommendations of where to eat, shop etc.Show moreTrip date: August 2023
- AAnonymous· December 21st, 2024Neil was amazing!! His stories and folktales were so informative and funny. Neil knows how to keep a group entertained. His knowledge of Scotland and its history was excellent. I’ve never had a better tour. ?Trip date: September 2022
- PPiotr· December 21st, 2024You probably won’t believe this story, but I swear it is true. I was a simple guy from Poland trying to earn some money in Scotland and move on, move to New Zealand, and eventually die on my own coconut plantation on Vanuatu or Kiribati. That was the life plan, simple as. But then whilst I was living in Aberdeen my friend visited me with his forever bored wife and I decided to book the tour with Neil to show them around. Now, I don’t want to bore you with details and sophisticated descriptions of the nature and how awesome the tour was. I think it is enough to say that after spending some time with Neil, our conversations, being surrounded by the Scottish wilderness, I’ve decided to changed my life plan. I am now the ultimate Scottish patriot. My naturalisation certificate hangs proudly on my wall, I have a Sgian Dubhs with “proud son of Scotland” engraved on it by my ex girlfriend father (long story). I cry tears of joy and happiness when I read Robert Burns’ poetry and feel nostalgic when having lorn sausage and tea in Glasgow (shout out to Billy C). That’s all I have to say about it. You will be fools not to give This goddamn award to Neil.Show more
Trip date: May 2023 - AAnonymous· December 21st, 2024The best tour I've ever been on and Neil's passion for his home country and history is infectious.

- LLiane· December 21st, 2024Neil was absolutely fantastic!! He was humorous, knowledgeable and so friendly! He made it feel like we were travelling with a knowledgeable friend. Excellent guide, brilliant dude!Trip date: July 2022
- CTClaire· December 19th, 2024I actually travelled on a 4 day tour of Skye with Neil as my guide in 2008! (This just wouldn’t let me go back that far). He inspired a genuine love of Scotland, so much so that I moved there. The beauty of the place still takes my breath away, and so much of that is thanks to the most wonderful guide, with beautiful quirky stories of a place riddled with history behind every rock and tree.Show moreTrip date: December 2024
- AAnonymous· December 19th, 2024The year was 2009. I was having an existential crisis. My only salvation was returning to MacBackPackers for my 4th journey, this time bringing my ally-in-travel friend, who has not yet embraced the highlands. Neil, a gift of a human, was our guide and became a sort of faux-cousin and legend bard. It was a magical week, and his tales were as epic as the hikes. Salve for the soul! Neil is the champion of champions when it comes to guides, and after 10 backpacking tours in Scotland, I feel I have room to speak with confidence. Cheers, Neil!Show moreTrip date: December 2024
