Ryan did an outstanding job. He was so friendly and flexible in helping us plan our trip, very responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. We were picked up in Edinburgh (family of 3) and drove out to the Isle of Skye for an overnight before heading to Inverness. We had to cut our trip down from three days to two days so we missed some of the sights around Inverness, but Ryan selected the least touristed, most scenic sights along our route. We particularly enjoyed Glencoe and the Fairy Glen. I know some families are opting to rent a car and drive themselves, but it is so worth being able to relax and have someone else plan the trip, drive the narrow and somewhat dangerous roads in a comfortable Mercedes van, and narrate the trip as we went along. Ryan is also an excellent professional photographer and gave us some wonderful photos to share. We have traveled extensively but Sgurr Tours stands out as one of the most seamless and pleasant private tours we have been so lucky to enjoy.
My wife and i had the best day touring the Scottish Highlands with Ryan. He is the consummate conversationalist, knowledgeable on many topics most importantly including the rich history, language, geography, and trivia of the area. He is very detail-oriented and came up with a great itinerary tailored to our requests. A huge bonus for us is that he is a fantastic photographer who captured our trip’s memories- priceless! When you’re on the drive, make sure to get to a wee nosy about his alternate careers in film and metal detecting for more fun chitchat! Don’t hesitate, this tour was well worth it!
