Having traveled a bit Abroad, I feel qualified To provide a comprehensive review of this splendid tour company I highly recommend Sgurr Tours For several reasons: You will have the most professional driver, experienced Guide who is native to the Highlands and Isle of Skye, possessing the ability, along with desire to Provide you with accurate history, funny, anecdotes, and lore of the areas. I just spent four days ranging from 11 1/2 to 5 hours a day with Ryan Mackenzie-Raymond and not one day felt too long as The days were filled with fun, Splendid stops, experiences and awe inspiring views. I also recommend allowing your Tour Guide to help you choose your locations to see, Experience, places for meals, and lodging as their familiarity is key to great and memorable trips, avoiding crowds and an enhancing the experience of your tour. I just mentioned prior to my trip what things i look for in a tour and left my itinerary to him. I could not have been more pleased. Best tour that i have ever had and I was sad that I had not booked more days. I am a 70+ widow and was treated graciously as the spry grandmother that I am, yet watched over to ensure my safety on steep walks. Oh and Ryan is fluent in Gaelic which is such an added bonus in Gaelic lands!
Fantastic guide! My wife and I spent 3 days with Ryan in the Highlands and loved every minute. Ryan is warm, funny, knowledgeable, and a proud Highlander. He took us (in comfort!) to many astonishingly beautiful, historic, and very interesting sites. And best of all, great pubs! The days flew by and we were sorry when we had to go. We’ve been on many tours, in many places. Ryan is one of the best guides, and made this one of the best trips ever!
Almost forgot: he’s a great photographer too! Now we have fabulous photos of our fabulous trip!!
We had a great day on our excellent Isle of Skye tour from Inverness! Ryan was charming, knowledgable, and well organized. We discussed our desired plans before the trip and Ryan executed them perfectly. In between stops he gave us great information, from history to the Gaelic language to current affairs in Scotland. We highly recommend booking a tour with him.
I am so happy we booked with Ryan with Sgùrr Tours. He was excellent about communicating before the tour and quick with return of photos he took on the tour. He has endless stories and details of history and lore of the area. We were never rushed and never had to worry about where to stop or what to see because he had it all under control. I highly recommend booking a tour—well worth the cost! Love our photos taken by Ryan!
We booked an isle of skye tour. There was my wife myself and our two children ages 3 and 6. Ryan was wonderful. He was very accommodating especially to the kids and made sure all our needs were met. The tour was very personal. I recommend a tour like this much more than a big bus tour for many reasons including some of the personal touches you get like snacks and drinks or as many bathroom stops as you need, and also the way the tour can be catered to your needs. But the main reason I recommend a tour with Ryan is the incredible history lesson that you get about the area it’s people and about Scottish Gaelic history and it’s incredible language. It was an awesome tour and I highly recommend it. Thanks Ryan.
