    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!

    We had a wonderful 3 day Highlands/ Isle of Skye tour with Tiegan - who was absolutely great. She had great history stories to share with us all - tips on places to eat - had a great sense of humor and overall made the 3 day tour a lot of fun.

    We joined Highland Explorer 3 day Tour to The Isle of Skye in May 2024 and had a wonderful trip. Our awesome driver/tour guide was Tiegan. She was outgoing, encouraged questions, described what we were going to do and be seeing, including many myths and legends. Tiegan kept us laughing and stopped often for picture ops and comfort breaks. Scenery was amazing, so beautiful! Weather was mixed, as we expected for May. Highly recommend this trip.
