Highlights
  • Loch Ness Region - Departing from Inverness, the journey continues along the renowned Loch Ness, with a stop at the iconic Urquhart Castle to enjoy the stunning views of Loch Ness. The route then heads towards the Isle of Skye, offering a series of spectacular vistas that only improve as we travel west. This is just the beginning of an incredible adventure!
  • Loch Cluanie - Traveling through Glen Moriston, we arrive at Loch Cluanie, a magnificent man-made loch with views of the Five Sisters of Kintail. The journey then proceeds through the breathtaking Glen Shiel towards Eilean Donan Castle.
  • Shiel Bridge - As we navigate the scenic Glen Shiel, we will take in the awe-inspiring views while sharing the history of the Battle of Glen Shiel, a significant yet lesser-known event in Highland history that occurred in 1719.
  • Eilean Donan Castle - Our next stop is the world-famous Eilean Donan Castle, one of Scotland’s most photographed castles. Situated on a small island where Loch Alsh, Loch Duich, and Loch Long converge, visitors can cross the bridge to the castle and explore its interior. There are separate charges for crossing the bridge and for accessing the castle’s interior. After approximately an hour here, we will continue to the Isle of Skye.

Isle of Skye - My husband and I secured a private, full-day tour with Gavin. As with most, our holiday time allowed for one day to devote to this region. The day was PERFECT! We covered all the highlights and never felt rushed. Gavin was incredibly well-read on the rich history of the region…we learned so much! He was conversational and made our day a pure delight! We’ve traveled and toured extensively and this guide was a level above. I wouldn’t hesitate to use this company again.

Wonderful day touring Isle of Skye with Sgùrr Tours guide Ryan - Awesome day with beautiful views. Our day started bright and early with Ryan picking us up at our hotel front door. He provided lots of history at all the stops and took us to a couple local spots we would have missed if on our own. He was friendly and made sure we were comfortable and had all our questions answered. Isle of Skye is absolutely beautiful and a must see if you are in Scotland. Ryan Mackenzie-Raymond is a great host and tour guide.

The Best Tour! - I would highly recommend this tour to the Isle of Skye! Ryan is a fantastic tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about the history, friendly and easy to talk to. He went above and beyond to make sure my family and I saw everything we wanted to. His driving was great on those narrow and twisty roads!

Perfect Day! - This was a superb tour of the Isle of Skye. Gavin went above and beyond all day to make sure we saw all the beautiful vistas throughout the island. He was a wealth of knowledge and so enjoyable to spend the day with. We can’t imagine anything that would have made this day any more special. We highly recommend Gavin and this tour!

Excellent tour - highly recommend :) - Gavin was an excellent tour guide and was so accommodating in allowing us time to hike the Old Man of Storr. Ryan was also very responsive and helpful in planning this tour. We highly recommend doing a private tour through Isle of Skye to skip crowds and move at your own pace :) thank you, Gavin!

Gavin was a wonderful tour guide in Scotland Highlands. - Gavin took us to Isle of Skye and made the trip so worth it. A beautiful country and he explained everything so well. The history of Scotland Highlands should be told to everyone. He was very friendly and funny as well. We had a blast with him. I learned about his country and he asked my country, which I believe he found very interesting.

Absolutely terrible tour! - My family was so excited for our tour on the Isle of Skye. We booked with Ryan, who communicated well leading up to the tour. However once we actually got on the tour, it wasn’t anything like it was promoted to be. The entire time Ryan complained about past guests, complained about not being tipped, flirted with every woman he came in touch with, and talked about himself the entire tour. Worse still, he was completely unprofessional (and overtly sexual with the women in our party). And his driving was absolutely awful. Though his proposed itinerary is being able to stop and see so much in Skye, we barely saw anything at all. I would certainly never recommend him to anyone. There are other private tours and I would strongly suggest looking at one of those.
