- SFSandy· July 3rd, 2024Andrew was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He made sure we were all comfortable and happy. There is not a single thing I would’ve changed. The accommodations in both Ullapool and Portree were Yeah wonderful. I would definitely recommend it. Anyone wants to see the Highlands and the isle of Skye.Show moreOn The Go Tours commented on this reviewWe appreciate the positive feedback and hope to welcome you on holiday again soon!
Trip date: May 2024 - MHMurray· June 25th, 2024Ross was full of stories of the land, the people and history of the regions we passed through. His background music was a delight. He made the passing scenery come alive for us. He was able to assess the weather and opt for a castle tour one day. He was able to choose an alternate route when a bad accident closed the planned one. He was very accommodating assisting passengers access their hotels and b&b’s. His timing and recommendations for breaks was excellent.Show moreOn The Go Tours commented on this reviewThank you so much for sharing your feedback!Trip date: June 2024

Asked on June 17th, 2025Is the tour of the north of Scotland for 5 passengers guaranteed to go ahead on September 18th?

Lynda
Asked on June 5th, 2025My daughter(31), myself(73) and my best friend(73) are traveling together. My daughter and I will share a room with twin beds and my friend will probably have her own room, unless there is anyway to save her some money and book us in a larger room with 3 beds. If she will be charged the solo rate anyway, then there is no reason to room us all together. I have looked at the guesthouses mentioned for Ullapool and Portree and wondered if we can specify which one would be our first choice, as they are quite a bit different. Also, when would we be notified as to where we were going to be staying once we sign up and pay the deposit?
- On The Go ToursOperator•Written June 2025
We could offer 1 x TWN room for yourself and your daughter to share and your friend could book a single room on their own, to save money we can request a Triple room however would need to contact our local team for cost and availability. The hotels listed on our website are ones which we frequently use on this tour. We reserve the right to substitute these hotels to ones of a similar standard. Guesthouses do book very quickly and if booking 2 rooms even as a group I must inform you that there is a chance your friend may not be booked at the same accommodation as you and your daughter, we always do our best to keep those travelling as a group together however as rooms are limited, we can not guarantee. You can request your preference and we would be more than happy to let our local team know. Accommodations are confirmed 60days prior to departure and will be reflected on your travel vouchers once booked.

At this time we cannot accommodate battery-operated wheelchairs or walking aids. Our staff are not able to offer physical assistance when boarding or disembarking from the buses or at any point during the tour.

Asked on January 5th, 2025What is there to do on the Island of Skye if you can't go on the hikes, also are there any other long walks involved on the tour?
- On The Go ToursOperator•Written January 2025
On The Isle of Sky there is no fixed itinerary for the day. The weather can be unpredictable, so your guide will choose the best highlights to show you in accordance with the conditions and any events that may be happening on the island during your visit. We are likely to be hiking, but if you don't want to do it you can stay at the hotel and enjoy harbor town of Portree where we stay for another night. Famous Talisker Whisky destillary is only 30 minutes drive by car. There are not many long walks but moderate fitness is required on this tour.

Traveler•Written January 2025Can you tell me if you have to do alot of walking?
- On The Go ToursOperator•Written January 2025
There would be quite a bit of walking, however travel will be mainly done by coach or mini bus, if you are tired then you are more then welcome to sit in the bus and wait - its not a problem.
