Discover the magic of Skye and get an authentic experience in the company of a local born and bred in Skye & Lochalsh. The owner's family came to Skye in the 16th century and he is an ex-employee of the School of Scottish Studies, University of Edinburgh. This is very much a bespoke tour where we work hard to meet your requirements while attempting to give you the benefit of our local knowledge to minimise tourist crowds. The tour described can be flexed to include The Fairy Pools or Neist Point on the west of the island by missing out elements of the main tour.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
