Amazing trip around the Highlands

5.00My sister and I did the 3 day tour of Loch Ness and The Isle of Skye, it was absolutely fantastic. The itinerary was great and took us around to a variety of awesome must see spots in the Highlands. We had a small group which was really nice. We all got along great and really enjoyed hanging out and exploring with one another. Both of the hostels were awesome, I especially enjoyed the Loch Ness hostel quizz night, run by a fellow kiwi! Mark, our tour guide was AMAZING. He was so knowledgeable, passionate and absolutely hilarious. He really made our trip!
Best tour ever, Neil is the best

5.00TL:DR Definitely recommend. Amazing trip. Neil - our tour guide and driver was absolutely fantastic. Eighteen souls and one bright pair, Set out to chase the mountain air. A bus, a guide, the winding way, Two golden nights, three silver days. Neil, the driver, voice of flame, A storyteller true to name. With laughter, lore, and secret skies, He led us where the magic lies. Each story spun, a thread of gold, The Highlands came alive, retold. No map in hand, no sat-nav near, Yet every road was crystal clear. He knew the bends, the secret ways, Where hidden beauty softly lays. Each night we found, to our delight, Warm beds that glowed against the night. Oh Skye! Oh hills of quiet streams, You linger still in all our dreams. And though the journey’s curtain fell, Its echo sings—we’ll never tell. So raise a cheer, let praises ring, For Neil, who gave the trip its wings.

5.00I was over in Edinburgh for business and a colleague and I decided to extend our trip. We set off on a Friday towards the isle of Skye while stopping at magical places along the way. We tried to see Nessie and explored a battlefield. We made it to Skye Friday night and had an absolute blast at the local pub eating fresh fish and chips. On Saturday we had gorgeous weather for hiking the Old Man of Storr (I literally got sunburned in Scotland). We saw some beautiful sights along the way & traveled all over the beautiful isle. On Sunday we had to leave, but not without seeing Ben Nevis at an incredible viewpoint. This was an incredible tour and our guide Mark was amazing. He had the best energy, was extremely knowledgeable, a great storyteller, and very friendly. He played Scottish music the entire time & when he wasn’t, he was telling a great story.
Full of laughs

5.00We didn't know what to expect when we got to the hostel but soon after boarding the bus we knew it was going to be great. Stewart, the tour guide, was hilarious and informative with the history of Scotland and played great Scotish music throughout the ride. Highly recommend going on this tour since you'll see amazing sights and meet great people throughout the three days
Best bus tour guide and company ever!

5.00Neill was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever met. His love for Scotland is so evident and he didn’t do the easy job of selling Scotland in a “tourist trap” way, but instead he was honest and authentic about the history of the land and the ways in which certain social norms impact the landscapes for better or for worse. His love for Scotland made me fall all the more in love despite having already lived here for 4 years. His knack for telling stories and the joy/fun/humour he infuses in them helped us all learn so much. His tips were super helpful throughout. Macbackers has set the standard so high for other bus tours and I’m not sure anything will top the experience I had. 100/10 recommend.
Incredible experience

5.00Had an absolute blast on the tour with Neil - he was funny, informative, and a authentic Scotsman. The views were amazing, the accomodation was great, and the opportunity to meet other travelers lead to fun times. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to tour Scotland. My only regret (and some of my fellow travelers shared this) was that we did not do the 5 day tour - we would have seen more and had more chances to bond!
Good tour of Skye - nice daily walk & short stops

5.00Good tour overall especially for 1st time visitors to Scotland. If you’ve done tours before, expect day 1 and 3 to be familiar (culloden/loch nes and glencoe respectively). Day 2 is definitely the highlight - we had a lovely 2h hike to Stoor independently, other stops in scenic/historic areas of Skye. The 45-minute Glencoe walk was also memorable. With Stewart, we had short stops, which made sense most of the time. Just expect to only have one step in every morning to get your sandwich/coop lunch and snacks for the day. The hostel is exactly what you expect from the price with a nice location and nearby pub Castle Moil (their pizzas and seafood were worth the price). Stewart is witty and knowledgeable; he provided a funny, insightful commentary throughout and had a nice playlist - if you’re unable to sleep through the music, that might be an issue for you. He kept to time, which we liked because we had plans afterwards but I know some were peeved because it was their only time in Scotland so it felt a bit rushed on some spots on day 1&3.
