We spent two days in Isle of Skye with our guide Lawrence. Such a good experience! Amazing view, food and Whisky. Particularly the seafood place, where is a must visiting place! The seafood is very fresh and tasty and good price!! Thanks Lawrence, he provided lots of suggestions, which let us save money and time and make us enjoy our time!:)Billy was an awesome guild. Super knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. The roads were pretty narrow so it only made sense to have him drive us around and show us the areas. We would have missed out on so much if we did it ourselves!

We had the pleasure of Billy and Lawerence guiding us through much of the Highlands these past few days. We did multiple tours with them and each one was spectacular. The views, the history, all of it was excellently prepared. For me, the Isle of Skye was particularly beautiful. My family was hoping to learn about our heritage and the area in general on this trip, and Lawerence and Billy helped us accomplish that and then some. Cannot sing their praises enough. Next time I come to Scotland I will definitely be reaching out to them once more.We had the best day with Billy! He went above and beyond to give us an amazing experience touring Inverness and the Isle of Skye. Generous with time, always down to make spontaneous stops, and kind enough to stick his face in a river that grants eternal beauty with me - it just doesn’t get better...
We had the best day with Billy! He went above and beyond to give us an amazing experience touring Inverness and the Isle of Skye. Generous with time, always down to make spontaneous stops, and kind enough to stick his face in a river that grants eternal beauty with me - it just doesn’t get better than Billy! We reached out with only a few days notice, and he made everything on our wish list happen. We hit all the main spots, as well as some fun side journeys along the way. The value of time spent went beyond the sights, though. The flexibility, excellent company, and adventure partner made a great day outstanding. My family will definitely be coming back to Inverness for another trip with Billy and the Highlander Private Tours team!
