Just an Amazing Day. - What an incredible day! Our guide, Jim, was highly knowledgeable, outgoing, and an excellent storyteller. I learned so much about Scottish history, and got to see the most spectacular scenery. And Highland Cows!

A fantastic guide and ride for Skye! - Skye as a beautiful as we had hoped! One day is not enough to see most of it, so we only concentrated on walking up to the Old Man of Storr and a photo stop at Eilean Donan Castle which was on the way to Skye from Fort Willam, but we also got to take the ferry on the way back and got to see the Glenfinnan Viaduct. Our driver and guide was James, who was well versed in local history and really made the trip quite wonderful.

An amazing tour of the Isle of Skye - Communication with Gill was perfect. We let her know what we were interested in seeing and she arranged the perfect guide for us. Callum was prompt, knew the Isle of Skye in and out and took us to all the most amazing places. His knowledge of the geography and history was extensive. And he had us laughing and fascinated with his stories. This was a real highlight of our trip

Great expetience - Jim, our guide, was fantastic. Our trip was tailored to our interests and included stops that would not have been accessible in a big tour bus. The views were amazing. I traveled with elderly parents and Jim did a great job of pacing and accommodating to their interests, energy, and mobility. Highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful day in Skye! - We had a wonderful day with Carole. We were in Scotland for my father's birthday and she made sure we saw everything we wanted during our single day in Skye, plus brought us to a great local restaurant for lunch!

All We Hoped And More!! - Our private Isle of Skye tour out of Fort William with Callum was all we hoped for and more than we could have imagined. Like the prior reviewer, we were on a group tour that included a ferry crossing from Mallaig and then a very brief drive in just the southern part of Skye; it didn't include the iconic sights I most wanted to see. My wife encouraged me to search for a private tour and Gordon, the owner of Grand Tours of Scotland, was extraordinarily helpful and responsive in scheduling one for us even though he personally already was booked with someone else on the day that worked with our group tour schedule. I had confidence in his selection of just the right person to take us and it was the best decision we could have made. Callum immediately noticed I had my Nikon DSLR camera and deduced, correctly, that I was looking for amazing photo opportunities. From that point on, his primary motivation seemed to be making sure we got to enjoy as much as we possibly could of his beloved Isle of Skye. And, boy, did we! Almost as much as that, though, we felt we made a great friend with whom we had much in common. We truly regretted parting at the end of our wonderful day with him. We will book tours through Grand Tours of Scotland and ask Gordon to schedule Callum with us on our future trips to Scotland -- and there WILL be future trips to Scotland!!

Incredible scenery and guidance - My wife and I had sort of an odd itinerary (ferry across from Mallaig for a day on Skye, then bus onwards to Inverness) and it seemed like a private tour would be the best option to make the most of our limited time on Skye. I had no idea how much we would enjoy the tour, though! Many of the group tours we've taken ferry your group to a number of places just to tick the boxes, but give you no real time there to experience the awe and beauty of a place, and Skye is far too beautiful of a place to leave that to chance. Because we started early (ferry arrived at 8:00), we had a full day with Callum, who accommodated even our off-the-beaten-path requests. Callum was incredibly knowledgable and seamlessly interwove history with local lore and, all grounded in his deep family roots in the area. To say he went above and beyond is an understatement. Thanks so much to him, and to Gordon for his professionalism in setting everything up!

Amazing history and landscapes - Culloden to Isle of Skye - We booked 2 full day tours with Gordon - the Culloden tour and the Skye tour. Both days were amazing! Gordon adapted the tours to suit our different interests and mobility limitations. We covered a lot of ground and hit the highlights and some hidden gems, from castles to distilleries to natural wonders. The entire area is absolutely beautiful. Gordon is extremely knowledgeable and a very kind guide.

Perfect tour of Skye - Carol was a great guide, taking us to see the best places on Skye. She was fun to talk to and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Isle of Skye private tour - A great day with Gordon. He’s a caring and friendly host and guide, providing excellent insights along the way. His passenger van was spacious and clean. Our party was very comfortable. Also appreciated the lunch reservation, ensuring we had a place to eat as many places are closed on Sundays.
