We took a day-long tour with Andrew and had a great time! Having Andrew drive use through the Highlands with its breathtaking beauty was a day we will never forget. He is very genial and we loved his personal stories of the area, peppered with history and cultural insight. It is a long day in the car and because it was just me and my husband, after Old Man of Storr we opted to skip the last stops and get straight home. Cameron was very helpful in arranging a day that was just right for us.

Thank you so much Sophia for the great review of the Private Tour from Inverness to the Isle of Skye that you recently took with Andrew. The beauty of your own tour can't be underestimated , as you say, if your tired you can stop whenever you feel like it and have the tour at the pace that is comfortable for you. It's great to have a local guide with all their knowledge, passion for the area and also the knowledge of the history. Andrew has all these attributes and more Haste ye back.

This was an amazing trip. Andrew was a fantastic host with wonderful knowledge of the region. He shared stories that you could only hear from someone who knows the history well. I highly recommend this excursion.

Thank you William! We had the pleasure of having William as our tour guide for an unforgettable journey from Inverness to the Isle of Skye, and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we met William, his professionalism and enthusiasm were apparent. William's extensive knowledge of the Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Skye truly enhanced our experience. His engaging storytelling brought the rich history and culture of the region to life, making each stop along the way more meaningful and memorable. His ability to navigate the scenic routes with ease and provide personalized recommendations for each member of our group was greatly appreciated. William was always attentive, ensuring we had ample time to explore and capture the beauty of our surroundings. William's genuine passion for the region and commitment to providing an exceptional experience shone through in every aspect of the tour. We left with not only stunning memories but also a deeper appreciation for the Scottish Highlands. We highly recommend William as a tour guide for anyone looking to experience the best of Scotland. His expertise and dedication make him a standout guide and an integral part of any memorable journey through this breathtaking region.

We started our stop in Inverness with a glorious day with Andrew traveling around the Isle of Skye. He is a world class story teller about his experiences growing up in many of the areas we toured. Fabulous sense of humor and he laughed along with us. We had an issue with a car so Andrew arranged to drive us again, the following day, to visit the Culloden Battlefield, Clava Cairns and get us to a prearranged distillery tour. Because we no longer had a car, Happy Tours took us down to our next stop, St Andrews. We met a new driver, Drew, another great conversationist with a completely different Scottish background.

Than you so much Roberta for leaving a great review for Happy Tours, Andrew and Drew. It was a pleasure to organise your Private Day Tour to Skye, a shorter version of our Private Day Tour to Culloden Battlefield and then your onward travel to St Andrews via the Sheepdog Display at Leault Farm. It is a really amazing show. We are so "happy" you enjoyed all the storytelling and that we could help you out after your car had problems. Thanks too for your rcommendation, we really appreciate it. Haste ye back!

Wonderful Scottish Guides We started our time in Inverness with a glorious day traveling around the Isle of Skye with Andrew, a world class story teller! With joy, humor, and enthusiasm, Andrew shared experiences about life growing up in the highlands, different jobs he had held and retold teenaged experiences. Fabulous sense of humor and he laughed along with us. We had a problem with our car so Andrew arranged to drive us the following day to visit the Culloden Battlefield, Clava Cairns and get us to a prearranged distillery tour. Because we no longer had a car, Happy Tours took us down to our next stop, St Andrews. We met a new driver, Drew, another great conversationist with a completely different Scottish background. We stopped along the way to see an AMAZING Working Sheep Dog exhibition, just like Babe (but no pig). Cannot recommend the helpful kindness we experienced with Happy Tours.

Thank you so much Nuno for the great review of the tour you took with Drew. Our Lch Ness 360 private Tour from Inverness is a great way to see the whole of Loch Ness and really enjoy all the folklore of this area. We are delighted you enjoyed the cruise down to Urquhart Castle and also got to see the Highland Coos. We really thank you for sharing all your lovely photos with us. We look forward to seeing you again later on this week for some more "happy" adventures.

Perfect for Tweens and Teens Our family includes a 13-year-old history buff, and a 10-year-old who has no interest in history at all. From the Urquhart Castle to the Culloden Battlefield to the Clava Cairns, our guide, Ian, gave both kids a perfect day. (My husband and I loved it, too!) Ian personalized our tour by skipping the distillery in favor of a trip to the Loch Ness Centre, a immersive, multimedia museum that the kids loved. Sharing legends of warrior fairies and stories of Nessie sightings alongside historical observations, Ian quickly felt like an old (kilt-wearing!) friend -- with a vast knowledge of this awe-inspiring place.

This was our second tour on two different trips with Happy Tours and we were so glad we came back. The first time, we let them plan a trip with 4 distilleries that they chose with a lunch stop at the Mash Tun, a favorite on the Whisky Trail and also of ours. This trip, we chose a particular distillery and a historic site, Elgin Cathedral, and let Cameron choose the other two. Our excellent guide, William, also took us to a whisky shop where we tasted and purchased some rare whisky. He said he had never been there before but a woman at one of the distilleries recommended it while we were there. We’re very glad we went because the guy at the shop, Tom, knew exactly which whiskies to show us when we told him our preferences. William was a fun and very knowledgeable guide and had lots of funny stories. He also recommended an excellent restaurant in Inverness, Cafe One. The whole experience in the private Land Rover is very luxurious. We will book with them again on our next trip.

Reply from Happy Tours Scotland Ltd 2024.07.22

Thank you so much Lori for touring with us again. We are delighted you had such a great time with William and that you were able to visit the distillery of your choice along with some new ones to you. That's the beauty of having a Private Tour as well as the comfort of the Land Rover! It's exciting to try new tastes and the best place for this is definitely on the Speyside Whisky Tour and at the tastings. All the staff in the distilleries are very eager to help you enjoy your day and find a taste you prefer. William captured some great photos of you visiting Elgin Cathedral on the way back, you both look like you had a fab time. Local knowledge for where to have a lovely meal is invaluable, Cafe One is a favourite of locals and visitors alike. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Sláinte Mhath!

I came across Happy tours on the net while searching for day tours to the Isle of Skye and after reading the reviews decided to go on the one day trip by a private vehicle. Should say it was one of the best decisions we took, the Land Rover was very comfortable. We took the extended 12 hour tour and our guide Mr Andrew was excellent. He was very informative , patient and filled us in with all the details of the land and the culture. A very safe driver and made sure we were comfortable through out. We truly enjoyed the tour

Reply from Happy Tours Scotland Ltd 2024.07.10

Thank you very much Nihamithra for the lovely review for Andrew and Happy Tours We are very "happy" you found our Land Rover very comfortable and really felt you had made a great decision to have a personal private tour. Taking the longer tour lets you see the full lenght of the island at an unhurried pace and learn all about the history of what you are seeing. Happy onwards travelling and haste ye back!
