A wondrous experience in the Highlands & Islands - This tour may be one of my favourite travel experiences ever. Our tour guide Derek was absolutely fantastic - any questions about Scotland's nature or culture, he knows the answer to all of them, and he has a phenomenal playlist to set the mood for a five day adventure. We were able to see so many places and learn more about them that we never would have known without doing a guided tour. Our journey to the island was delayed by a few hours (our ferry was cancelled due to weather conditions) and we still managed to see some truly magnificent spots and enjoy ourselves frolicking around the Highlands for a few hours more than planned. x The small group setting (there were 6 of us plus our guide) is brilliant; this way, everyone has the chance to get a deeper understanding and appreciation for what Scotland has to offer. If you like guided tours, but don't want to feel super touristy by driving around in a huge bus and being spat out at *insert generic destination*, a tour like this will make you feel like you've booked a private tour with a few friends. If you like remote places, walks in stunning scenery and shouting "there's a rainbow!" about every fifteen minutes, I cannot recommend this tour and this company enough. The only time I didn't enjoy myself was during the last few hours of the tour, because I didn't want it to end. I truly had the best time.

Will definitely tour with them again! - I had a great time on the Lewis and Harris tour with Owen! He is an amazing guide and made sure everyone was comfortable with the daily itinerary. He is extremely passionate about history and had us entertained with a lot of great historical facts and folklore. The tour is a mix of easy to moderate walks and I did not feel rushed at any point. I thought this was an easy and relaxed way of exploring Scottish Islands which can sometimes be difficult to navigate via public transport. I wish it was a longer tour and we spent more time on the Islands :)

Couldn't have done better. - An amazing experience, the tour was led by Andrew and Richie, a pair of professional, and most knowledgeable guides. Weather was excellent, the sites visited just have to be experienced and the Isles of Harris and Lewis especially provided a very satisfing mix of fantastic scenery and unique historic sites. Thoroughly recommended.
