This tour was amazing! Our tour guide was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, friendly, had a great sense of humor, and got us to some of the attractions before they got busy, plus some bonus adventures. I would highly recommend taking this tour because it has so many breathtaking views and as someone who drove around Scotland, it was nice to be able to ride and take all the views fully in. This tour is definitely worth the time if you are in Scotland!

We had a wonderful guide who provided lots of historical background and funny anecdotes. The stops were well planned and worthwhile. Being pressed for time, the minivan was the best way to visit Isle of Skye in one day.

What a wonderful, fun day out to Skye with a small group of fellow travelers & guide Niall. Weather was in our favor and we had great stops along with beautiful scenery at Loch Ness, Eilean Donan Castle, Portree, Bride's Veil Falls, faerie pools, & more. Niall was so knowledgeable and full of interesting & entertaining stories all along the way. I highly recommend this tour and tour operator, as this was my second experience with Happy Tours and I was indeed very happy both times. I will book again next trip!
