I cannot recommend this tour guide enough. Should you take one of these tours? I think you should if:
- You do NOT want to drive on the wrong side of the road.
- You don’t want to drive on tiny one land roads of Skye.
- You want someone else to plan the route and figure out the best stops.
- You are a sword / history nerd that loves to hear about battles.
Grant was amazing. He planned out the whole trip sent us several iterations of the itinerary and we made adjustments via email. He picked us up from our hotel and took care of pretty much every aspect of the trip. He told us the best places to stay and reminded us to get bookings for dinner. He either got us a ticket to an attraction or told us how to easily do it. He timed everything out so that we arrived at each place when we were supposed to. He had tons of historical facts about the landmarks we were seeing, and answered all our questions. At one point the restaurant I booked at had canceled my reservation for an unknown reason. He took it upon himself to call and sort it all out. The last day we threw him a curveball and wanted to see something else and he very easily changed the itinerary and accommodated the changes easily. He built in stops for us to get great photos, taste scotch and learn how to use a backsword. He took a ton of photos for us. He was asked all the time for photos from random people because some of the time he is in a Kilt and he happily obliged.
He was a great conversationalist and we were never bored for the three day tour. He knew exactly when to get to site to avoid crowds and we got amazing photos without a ton of people in them. He was also an amazing driver, who navigated all the tiny roads with ease. I would 100% book again for something else if I came back to Scotland.
