“This was a fabulous day. Our guide was Colin. He was so very friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable and a great driver. We saw so many amazing sights, had awesome weather and learned so much history. Our only regret is that when my husband gave Colin a tip he realized a few minutes later that he had given Colin Canadian money by accident. We hope Colin wasn’t insulted.”

“We had the best day ever. Our guide, Gordon, was very knowledge, entertaining and told great stories. He went out of his way to make the day great. Great scenery, exhilarating trek to the fairies pools and a trip to a lovely little fairy stop. The best part of the trip was the close encounters with wild 🦌 deer and (Gordon being the expert hairy coo stealer that he is) the super close encounter with the beautiful hairy coos. He had a few surprises up his kilt too. Really a trip to remember.”

“My wife and I did a full day tour to Isle of Skye with Ryan and Sgurr Tours, and we had an absolute blast! His knowledge of Skye and Scotland is endless, and he retells it in an entertaining way. We purchased the photo package for our tour and he took the most amazing photos of us and the landscapes we visited. 12+ hours in the car with him absolutely flew by, we wish we could take him with us everywhere we go on vacation. Can not recommend him enough, he seriously made our vacation complete!”
