Amazing Day - My daughter and I had a great day with Gordon. The sights were beautiful and Gordon was knowledgeable and a great story teller. It was definitely nice to have someone navigate the roads for you, especially the road to the fairy pools. It was also fun to stop at some of the local shops and loved feeding the coos! Would definitely recommend this tour!

Gordon is a wee bit AWESOME - This was one of the best things on our 10 day itinerary through Scotland and England. Gordon was a great guide! He had a lot of knowledge and good stories to keep us entertained for a journey with the cows, castles, and fairy pools. We also stopped for some good breakfast, coffee, and pastries along the way. Highly recommend. I would definitely do it again!

Great Tour! - Gordon was a fantastic tour guide. Lots of stories on a variety of topics. Exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend. He tailors the itinerary to what you’re interested in and makes adjustments when weather isn’t cooperating with even better suggestions.

Great experience! - Gordon is an amazing story teller and so knowledgeable about not only the history of Scotland, but also its people and animals! It was cold and rainy the whole day but we didn’t even think about it once. We traveled with friends who drove themselves and our experiences were night and day. We enjoyed the day traveling the island of Skye with him and learning so much!

An amazing tour! - We loved our private tour to the Isle of Skye with Gordon! So informative and with great humor too. He showed us a lot of the Isle of Skye plus lots of stops along the way. We loved that it was customized to our interests and didn’t feel like we were rushed from one stop to another. We got to see animals like the hairy coos and red deer, hiked the Fairy Pools, saw Eilean Donan and more. Thanks Gordon, this was a highlight of our trip!

A lifetime memory - Got to feed some hairy coos!!! Saw some places from a distance to take pics. Skye was wonderful and the fairy pools were awesome! Beautiful scenery. Loved that Gordon knew locals and took us places that only locals would know.
