- DPDoreen· August 9th, 2024Highland tours organized a great itinerary. Our guide, Steve was excellent. His attention to detail was outstanding. You can tell he truly loves his job and his country. He allowed plenty of time to see the sites at each stop. He never rushed us. Everyone had such a good time we all spent our last night together eating at the Skye Inn. He even organized a trivia game after dinner. This is one tour we were sad when it was over. I have nothing negative to say about Highland Tours. But... the communication between Tourradar and Highland tours was a bit disappointing. We informed Tourradar that we were part of a group of 5 and would like to stay together. They put us at a hotel on the Isle of Harris while the other three along with 5 other people on our bus stayed at a beautiful B&B. That was very disappointing. They also made reservations for the room in Inverness for two people but only reserved breakfast for one. Then to top it off we paid for the steam train on the way back but, there were no seats reserved for us. Steve was able to get everything except the accomodation fixed. Like I said earlier, Steve was wonderful!Show moreTrip date: August 2024
