Gordon, the Storyteller, was an ex Ellenton guide. He answered every one of our many questions -- and took us on several short diversions to show us more about all of the toughest questions we asked. He thought of everything - brought carrots for the Scottish Cattle, brought a kilt, swords, shield, etc. so we could try them on at one of the battlefields he took us to, and took us from Inverness to the Isle of Skye and back. His stories were awesome and continuous -- no repetition at all as we traveled for almost 13 hours with him. Excellent guide and very knowledgeable. We highly recommend Gordon the Storyteller!!The tour was well worth the cost. Gordon the guide and owner caters to your needs and likes.

We spend two weeks traveling through Europe and I can honestly say that the day spent with Gordon in the Highlands and Isle of Skye was my favorite and the absolute best day! To have a tour guide all to yourselves that knows the Highlands like no other was the best way to see everything, there is no way a bigger bus or even on our own, we would have seen everything we saw. He customized the tour for us and showed us so many things we would have never got to see otherwise. Gordon was amazing, fun, authentic and so knowledgeable-the van is super comfy to get in and out of and we felt completely safe with him on a very rainy but beautiful Highland day. You even get to enjoy free Scottish Whiskey throughout the day if you choose, a definite perk! From petting and feeding the Hairy Coos (so adorable) to calling in Nessie, the Fairy's and the amazing scenery, stories and history, this will be a day you won't forget! Overall, this was the absolute best way to tour the Scottish Highlands-don't pass this one up!!Gordon was a thoughtful, knowledgeable, funny Highlander guide who gave us our favorite Scotland experience.

Gordon was a thoughtful, knowledgeable, funny Highlander guide who gave us our favorite Scotland experience. He'll entertain you, educate and keep you comfortable all while driving you through this stunning part of Scotland. He knew where to get the best snacks, photos and souvenirs, and we were at ease with both Gordon and the tour vehicle itself. 10/10. Book this tour.We spent 10 days in the Highlands and our day with Gordon was our absolute favorite day! He took us to so many places we never would have found on our own.

We spent 10 days in the Highlands and our day with Gordon was our absolute favorite day! He took us to so many places we never would have found on our own. We saw beautiful sites all day, met the famous hairy highland coos, bought one of a kind gifts, and generally just had a blast! Gordon also skipped some of the places we had already been and added on new places we had never even heard of. I highly highly recommend doing a private tour with Gordon. You won't regret it! Oh and very importantly, he was the best driver we had during our time including cab drivers. We felt very safe with him. Thanks again, Gorrrrdon!
