    The trip was excellent. Our tour guide, Graeme, did a wonderful job, regaling us on all things Scottish, was so considerate, and very helpful. He recommended restaurants and other places to buy food, and made extra stops when requested. For our tour of Skye, the weather cooperated, even in the middle of winter, making the trip truly the best Scotland has to offer.

    Our tour to the Highlands and the Isle of Skye was excellent. Our guide Paul, with Highland Explorers, was very pleasant and informative and considerate of the needs of his passengers. Our room at The Skye Inn was very nice and the breakfast provided also great. The frequent stops for sightseeing and the train ride were enjoyable. Our favorite stop was Dunveggan Castle.

    The tour was varied and well organized! Steve was a great tour guide! He gave us helpful tips and even adapted the tour due to the fantastic weather so we could picnic in absolutely stunning scenery instead of having lunch in Portree. We had a great time!
