    Andrew 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.

    Ross 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.

      This tour offers a fantastic blend of travel and sightseeing within national parks and stunning natural environments. Day 4 is particularly special, offering the best opportunity for hiking. You'll have the chance to explore some of the most iconic wonders of Skye, including The Quiraing, the Old Man of Storr, and Neist Point. Our guide will craft a unique itinerary based on the weather and events on the island, ensuring you can get off the beaten track to uncover hidden gems and capture incredible photos

    Jose

    Asked on January 5th, 2025

    What 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?

    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten 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.

      Can you tell me if you have to do alot of walking?

    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten 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.

      My dates aren't set yet (won't be in the near-near future) I'm just putting out feelers to see what my budget will allow for (my currency is much weaker than yours) I am however quite surprised by your affordable pricing. My dream to visit your beautiful country might come true - in the not so far future.
