What people love about 3 Day Northern Scotland Tours
- Orkney & The Far North 3 Day Tour
Andy was a knowledgeable and considerate tour guide and driver. I had a most enjoyable tour it was a tonic which I needed. My host at the Band B in Kirkwall, Avalon, was superb, the whole trip was faultless.
- Ultimate Skye Experience
My three-day tour of Skye with Owen was incredible. Entertaining, informative and, most importantly, fun. The places we visited were breathtaking and the scenery is like nothing else I've ever seen. This is a must do trip and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The BnB I stayed at was comfortable and friendly and the food was good! My only complaint was that there were no toilets on the bus but this wasn't a big deal as we stopped often. I suppose you can't really get the small bus experience on a coach with toilet facilities so it was a fair trade-off!
- Isle Of Skye And The Highlands
The tour was absolutely exceptional. I really enjoyed not only seeing the gorgeous country side, but also the invaluable discussions of history and myth that I would never have learned about had I not taken the tour. Caitlin made the group feel welcomed and constantly engaged, encouraging participation and conversation. Time spent in different locations never felt rushed and I always had enough time to look around. The songs and talks in between locations were the HIGHLIGHT (not just the strawberries) of the tour - especially the interesting choices for Bonnie Prince Charles. My expectations were completely blown out of the water. I could not be more satisfied with the experience and will never forget the time I had in Skye! Thank you so much Caitlin! (But seriously the strawberries were so good)
