A WEE BONNIE GOOD TIME with Owen and Lauren! - Where to begin?! Owen and Lauren, our tour guides, were ABSOLUTELY BONNIE AMAZING from the moment we met them when they picked us up in Edinburgh to when we all said goodbye to the group three days later! Owen especially was SO full of knowledge and a joy and passion for these tours and for the rich history that his native Scotland holds! Lauren was really great too in providing where Owen could not! I got to indulge my inner nerd with these amazing people, again especially Owen! Our tour group were all Americans like us, and we all enjoyed each other immensely! I CANNOT recommend these two enough! They should both get raises! We definitely want to keep in touch and look them up for a tour when we come back to Scotland! My friend Melissa had an ABSOLUTE BLAST and MORE than a wee bit of fun, as the locals say! BONNIE GOOD, mates! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU again SO MUCH! We will cherish these memories for the rest of oir bonnie lives! As the locals also say, Sláinte Mhath! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Scotland - 3 day Isle of Skye tour was the perfect addition to our Scotland adventure! We ticked off many bucket list items up in the Highlands. Our guides, Owen and Lauren, were phenomenal. Their knowledge of the area and it’s history added immensely to the trip. The fact that the groups are small is great, as it allows for a more personal experience, and ease of getting around. I look forward to doing more tours with them next time I visit Scotland!

A lovely experience but watch out for the start times! - Chris was a wonderful tour guide. He gave us options and a good amt of time to enjoy the beautiful sights of Scotland. He was able to calmly navigate through closed roads and unforseen circumstances in a professional manner. I'd like to warn others that Viator gave us the wrong meeting time while everyone else who didn't use Viator got the correct time. Check ahead with the Scotland wild company to double check times!

The weather was rotten, but the tour was great! - Thanks to Storm Gerret, pretty much everything that could go wrong for us on day 1 did - cancelled ferries, road closures due to fallen trees and snow, pouring rain all day, we couldn't even get to Skye in the end! - but our lovely guide Laura took it all in stride and did her best with what the Scottish weather gave us. She completely rearranged our itinerary several times on the fly, made sure we had places to stay and eat and things to do, and despite the obvious difficulties kept good humour throughout. Travelling Scotland's nature always comes with the risk of the seasons not going your way, but the rewards are well worth it. I had a great time, got some gorgeous wintery photos despite the weather and would travel with the company again - maybe I'll try in summer next time though!

First time 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Skye - Isle of Skye is somewhere between heaven and paradise. It’s just magic and 3 days were almost not enough . Thanks to our guide Owen we learned about the Glenns,Lochs,Fairy’s and we saw just amazing castles ,rocks and water falls. I can recommand this trip , Little disapointed we were at the Glenfinnanviaduct. We just watched the railroad . We were there in between two trains crossing over it. No time to wait for the next train crossing. That didn’t make sense.
