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 :)
