Written on March 5th, 2025Tour was cancelled disappointedHighland Experience Tours commented on this reviewHi Trish, We are deeply saddened to read your review, but we can absolutely understand your disappointment at the unfortunate cancellation of your tour. We are so sorry we were unable to provide the experience you were hoping for this time. Although rare, we do reserve the right to cancel our tours due to reasons out with our control and this was one of those instances. Again, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and disruption caused to your plans. We hope you found our customer service team to be helpful as they worked to find suitable alternatives for you. You were offered an upgrade to our 3-Day Ultimate Skye Experience, visiting many of the same locations, but departing a day earlier. Unfortunately, this did not align with your schedule but we were able to arrange 2 1-day tours as well as a partial refund to cover the difference. Of course, we understand that this could never replace the original tour you were looking forward to, but we hope you still had a great time exploring Scotland with us! Kind regards, Sofia Shop Manager Highland Experience Tours- CS

Experience Scotland Safely
Keeping You Safe
The safety of our passengers, our colleagues and the wonderful local communities we visit is of the utmost importance to us and we are taking the following steps to ensure that it continues to be held paramount.
Your tour guide is used to making changes under pressure to give you the best experience possible. They are kept up to date on current safety protocols and will ensure that all passengers adhere to safety advice in order to ensure a safe journey for everyone. Your guide will carefully manage passengers boarding and disembarking the vehicle and the location of seats for passengers on board. Your guide will wear a facial covering except when driving in accordance with Department for Transport guidance.
Sanitised Vehicles
Our luxury vehicles will be deep cleaned by hand before and after each tour. In addition to this all vehicles will be further sanitised after each tour using a fogging machine. The antibacterial and antiviral disinfectant used in the fogging machine is distributed throughout the vehicle in a fine mist. This ensures all areas including touch surfaces and seats are fully sanitised and the vehicle is safe and ready for each tour.
Contactless Check In
In order to maintain minimum contact please provide your name and booking reference at check in. Printed confirmation is not required.
During Your Tour
Each passenger will keep their own seat throughout the tour. Any common touch points will be regularly wiped down by the driver/guide throughout the tour.
Hand Sanitiser
Hand sanitiser will be available on all of our vehicles. We strongly advise passengers to use this when boarding and disembarking from the vehicle. It will remain available for your use throughout the tour.

Questions & Answers

What should I bring with me?
As above, it is always advisable to be prepared for any weather in Scotland so a jacket is always a good idea! A bottle of water for hydration and a camera to capture the spectacular views and you are set to go!It is not necessary for you to bring your own meals, as we will stop throughout the day in small towns or villages where you can purchase food, however you are more than welcome to bring along snacks or a packed lunch.
What should I wear?
Whilst there are no strenuous physical activities on our tours, we would recommend you wear comfortable clothing and shoes, and a jacket is always advisable.
