The Isle of Skye is Scotland's largest island, and justly famous on the tourist circuit. However, most visitors stick to the beaten track, and if you've a longing for solitude it won't take you long to find your own corner of this little paradise.
When the sun's out, there's nowhere quite as enchanting as Skye, with its vivid blue lochs and seas glittering in the light and its green crags glowing. However, if it's raining (and the weather can turn in an instant here, so definitely be prepared to get wet), there's still an eerie beauty to the place. And hey, what better excuse than to enjoy it through the window of a cosy pub?

Audrey, our guide, was amazing and brought to life the history of Scotland in an amusing and contemporary way. The 3-day trip to the Isle of Skye was full of beautiful scenery and thanks to Audrey we never missed an opportunity to take photos. Anyone planning a trip to Scotland will really miss out if they don't go on the tour. It was first class!

This tour was outstanding. The scenery is simply breathtaking. By far, this was our favourite tour. 3 days was just enough time to experience the beauty of the the "Isle of Skye".
Our hotel accommodations were also absolutely fabulous, right on the harbour at Portree with a view of the fishing boats right outside our window. Our tour guide, "Eddy", was also truly outstanding. His descriptions and stories during the tour, and on the many nature walks made all of us appreciate his pride in his Scottish heritage. Isle of Skye is a truly a beautiful place with breathtaking scenery. I will be recommending this tour to all of my friends and family.

Practical Info
The main routes to Skye commence in Glasgow, Inverness and Fort William, all of which are easily reached from Edinburgh by bus or train. The island is connected to the mainland by a bridge, so from these centers you can drive or take a bus over to the island. There's also a ferry if you want to travel, like Bonnie Prince Charlie, 'over the seas to Skye'.
