This trip was a dream come true. Magical from start to finish...I didn't want it to end. My best friend and I work really demanding jobs, so we were looking for a trip that did all the "deciding" for us so that we wouldn't have to do much more than sit back and relax. This trip was all we wanted and so much more! Tiegan took great care of us- she was caring, hilarious, such a fantastic storyteller, and amazing navigator. Without her this trip would have been bland or confusing, but we ended up bringing Scotland home in our hearts thanks to her. (Tiegan's mom, if you're reading this- you raised a gem. ) I cried and cried leaving Scotland. If you're wanting the best way to tour everything from the history to the wild outdoors to the music and food and more- this is time and money so well spent. I'll never ever forget it!
A fun adventure – Thank You, Steve!

I recently returned from an amazing 6-day Outer Hebrides and Isle of Skye tour with Highland Explorer Tours! I can honestly say it was one of the most unforgettable travel experiences I’ve had, and that is thanks to our phenomenal guide, Steve! Steve set a great tone for the journey even including his very own playlist. His knowledge of Scottish history, culture, and landscape brought every stop to life. He has a unique gift for storytelling – blending facts, folklore, music, and humor – which made the long drives fun and exciting. The tour itself was reasonably priced and included lodging which made it an easy choice to just sit back and relax. It was beautifully curated – intimate, immersive, and thoughtfully paced. The group was small and we all got along really well. I so enjoyed making new friends and seeing so much! Each day struck a perfect balance between guided experiences and free time to explore on our own. I felt like I got to know the Outer Hebrides and Skye, not just see them. From gorgeous windswept beaches to ancient standing stones, picturesque villages to wild mountain passes - it was perfection. The hostels were warm, welcoming, and comfortable. It was a nice relief to have everything taken care of so I could just relax. Steve went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. His passion for Scotland is infectious, and it made a huge difference in how we all connected along the way. Steve made it feel like a journey shared with a friend, not just a tour group. If you're considering this tour – do it. And if you’re lucky enough to have Steve as your guide, you’re in for a great time!

Had a fantastic time touring with Alistair from Highland Explorers. Alistair was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the areas we were touring. He was also helpful recommending places to eat and things to see. He is witty and humorous. He was an excellent driver and we felt very confident in his driving skills. We felt lucky to have him as our guide/driver!!

Had a great tour with Alistair guiding us along the way. He made the experience so much more enjoyable. We were able to see so many great locations across Scotland and the Highlands. There was an issue with our hotels one night, but Alistair and his team did a great job making it right.

Alistair was our tour guide on a whirlwind overview of parts of Scotland. Some history, beautiful scenery, nature and history. Lots of time on and off the bus. It covers a lot of ground but has a nice balance.
