Our tour guide was... - Our tour guide was Donnie. He brought a fantastic personal touch to the tour that absolutely made the trip! An absolutely fantastic experience, definitely recommend the fairy pools! The water wasn't as cold as expected but I didnt allow myself enough time for a plunge, which I definitely regret! Would 1000% recommend sitting on the left of the bus for the best views.

Wonderful Experience - Went on the tour with my 11 year old son. Mark was a great tour guide with a witty sense of humor. My son and I loved this excursion the best of all booked during our 2 week stay in Scotland!

Great Tour and Guide. - Mark, our tour guide, was excellent. We covered a lot of ground and saw many historical sites. Mark was very informative and a great bus driver, guiding us through the narrow roads of the Isle of Skye.

Great day at Skye and Fairy Pools - This was a great trip but a long day. Donny was very sweet. Sometimes it was hard to understand because the people in front of the bus heard everything and those in the back didn't. My suggestion is to have someone drive and someone give the tour (not the same person)

Good tour - Tour is good and lot of information ,photo stops, lunch break, rest room breaks. Tour guide was nice n lot of good stories.Before booking please consider following. **** not even an option to visit a castle it's just a photo stop **** not at all enough time to hike fairy pools till end or swim at all.enough time to roam around n take pictures If schedule is well organized then we would have hiked fairy pool.

Tour to beautiful places.. - Fairy pools was lovely.. tour was ok too. The driver was good but he was going superfast. We are ok with his jokes but not ok with racist jokes though and called out passenger by nationality. Spoilt our mood for a while. Not very nice. Fyi we are asians.
