Isle of Skye Private Tours |
Photo by George Widman

The Isle of Skye takes its name from the Vikings, who so aptly described the sky-a (clouds) that frequently shroud the dramatic landscape in whirls of mist. This island off Scotland's northwest coast draws visitors with promises of rugged scenery and spellbinding views - and more than a little ancient history.
Take a private Isle of Skye tour with a native Gaelic speaker, and get real local insight on this compelling island.
Avid hikers will want to head straight for the Cuillin Mountains, the highest and most dramatic mountain range in the British Isles. Not a hiker? No worries - there are plenty of beautiful viewpoints accessible with minimal walking. You'll want to visit the popular Dunvegan Castle, parts of which date back to the 14th century BC. See the lighthouse at Neist Point, and perhaps take a wander through the ancient gravestones on St. Columba's Island.
Enjoy lunch at a cosy pub, and let your guide regale you with island lore on your private Isle of Skye tour. |
