  Delightful Isle of Skye Tour Hugh is a true Scottish gem! Our Isle of Skye day tour from Inverness was amazing because of his vast knowledge of the Highlands countryside geography and folklore and, of course, his comfortable van!

  Exceptional Highlands tour experience Ali made our 3-day Highlands tour unforgettable! From Edinburgh to Inverness, her deep knowledge and accommodating nature truly stood out. She went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. I wholeheartedly recommend her and this tour to anyone looking for a perfect adventure.

  Perfect day on the Isle of Skye We had an amazing day with Irene guiding our family of five to the Isle of Skye. Her wealth of knowledge and engaging stories truly brought the history of the area to life. She was fantastic with our kids, making them feel included and entertained throughout. We felt completely safe with her, and it was such a relief not having to drive ourselves. Highly recommend for a stress-free and enriching experience!

  Speyside Distillery Tour with Hugh We spent a day with Hugh Allison on a private Speyside Distillery Tour from Inverness.  What a fantastic day!  Hugh worked with me to determine the distilleries to visit, provided a wonderfull card to us celebrating birthdays and our anniversary, shared a lovely lunch with us, and provided detailed Outlander information not expected.  All in all we had a fantastic quiet day out with this company and its exceptional guide.

  Irene is great We had a great day with Irene! She was informative without overloading us with too much information. She made suggestions that gave us a great overview of the highlands. We would definitely recommend.
