    Guides were excellent. 8 day tour should have remained with one guide/group. Was not expecting a split tour. Check in was confusing as not advised properly of guide/bus that we were travelling with. Travelled with other couple and both were told different guide names of which were both wrong.

    Paul and Cameron were fabulous providing a safe drive and a history lesson on the highlands. It is not an easy job driving on the one lane roads. The inns along the way were very good with adequate services. We had a full itinerary each day and the value for money was great. Even though two entitled Americans tried to ruin the second half of the trip, it didn’t affect the outcome. I highly recommend Highland Experience for anyone that wants to visit Scotland.

    I loved this tour! The drivers were great, the new vans with individual charging stations were wonderful, and the itineraries for each of my tours were perfect. I loved that everything was taken care of including accommodations, ferry tickets, etc. The B&Bs were excellent, as well. The one part of the tour that I did not appreciate was being placed at the Crown in Stornaway. My noise right outside my window from Rascals nightclub went on until past 2:00 am with yelling, cursing, and people revving the engines of their cars, etc. In addition, being up past 2:00 am meant that I was awake to hear the rats? scurrying within the walls.

    Hi Natasha, We see that you were on the correct tour, but complained previously not understanding that the maximum capacity for this tour is 32. You were also unhappy with the luggage requirements for this tour. Regards, Sarah

    Not sure why but we ended up on a bigger coach as part of a 5 day tour before joining a small group and coach for the Outer Hebrides.
    Highland Experience Tours commented on this review
    The tour is made up of two tours as our driver-guides can't work for 8 days straight. I do hope you enjoyed getting insight and experience from two different driver-guides and enjoyed the tour :) Kind regards, Highland Experience

    Good trip, recommend for solo travelers if looking to cover a lot of Scotland. Only 1 major issue - Unpleasant accommodations on isle of Skye. Company seems to be aware of rude hostess and continues to book people there.

    Both our tour guides had excellent historical knowledge. General knowledge needs to be brushed up on as we heard “I don’t know “ too many times.

    Steven A was excellent, told relevant stories, waded into history in depth and for all his flippancy cared about his job. Tommy was there for the last 3 days and suffered by contrast. He had to repeat a lot of Steven’s anecdotes because the other 6 members of the tour hadn’t heard them.

    We shall always remember the 8 day tour of the far north, Skye and outer Hebridies. The first part of the tour was with driver/guide Tommy. A most excellent guide and person. He has a big personality and knows his history and it shows his devotion and passion for Scotland. Our whole group enjoyed the banter back and forth it made for a great time. The stories and wonderful Scottish music added pure joy to this memorable trip. Anyone going on his tours is in for a treat. 5 stars all the way!!! Norm & Lasha MacLeod (Canadians) The second part of the tour was with Rory, a fine driver and guide; very knowledgeable, great personality and did us a great favor at Stornoway. We would have no hesitation in recommending him as a great choice of guide and driver. 5 stars all the way!!! Norm & Lasha MacLeod (Canadians)
