Full-day Private Tour Of The Isle Of Skye (From Inverness)

Michael Kerr is the best tour guide we have ever had. We were together for about four days. He is knowledgeable, friendly, witty, thoughtful, a fantastic driver, and always a pleasure to be around. By the time the journey ended, we felt as though we’d made a good friend.

We had an outstanding full-day experience with Hame Tours on a trip to the breathtaking Isle of Skye, departing from Inverness. Our driver and guide, Seorges, was exceptional. Being born and raised on Skye, his depth of knowledge and personal connection to the island made the entire journey feel truly special. The experience was seamless from start to finish—professional, first-class service delivered at a relaxed, personalized pace. What stood out most was how effortlessly Seorges brought the history and culture of Skye to life, drawing on a lifetime of learning and firsthand experience. This wasn’t just a tour—it felt like being shown around by someone who genuinely loves where they’re from and wants you to understand it too. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a more meaningful and tailored way to explore Skye.

If you are visiting Inverness or the Highlands, booking a tour with Andrew MacDonald from Hame Tours is an absolute must. Our experience with Andrew was hands down the most memorable and enriching part of our entire UK trip — worth every cent and every minute. Andrew is an exceptional guide — warm, personable, and unbelievably knowledgeable about Scotland’s rich history, culture, and heritage. From the moment our tour began, he immersed us in the stories, landscapes, and traditions of the Highlands in a way that was engaging, insightful, and deeply authentic. What made the experience even more unique is that Andrew is also a gifted musician and singer. If you’re lucky, he might even grace your tour with a traditional Scottish song, which added such a special, personal touch to the day. My partner and I from Canada were completely captivated... it felt like we were travelling with a friend who just happens to know everything about Scotland. I cannot recommend Hame Tours and Andrew highly enough- 100% worth it. If you’re in Inverness, do yourself a favour and book a tour with Andrew. You’ll walk away with incredible memories, a deeper appreciation for Scottish culture, and maybe even a song in your heart.

Jim was excellent. He was full of historical information and fun facts, plus he answered our many many questions about Scottish life and culture. He was sure to check in with us about the specific places/types of places we wanted to see, and he knew all the right spots. Car was clean and perfect for the trip. Highly recommend!

My husband and I went on a tour of the Isle of Skye with Andrew and it was fantastic! Andrew has so much historical knowledge and a depth of understanding about the Highlands that is unmatched. He kept us laughing + entertained and we so enjoyed our day! We also loved that we had so many options about where to go and what to see!

Fantastic tour! We went from Inverness to Isle of Skye and stopped at various viewpoints and castles along the way. Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and personal both of Scottish history and Scottish culture. He tailored the tour to the level of depth and length we were looking for.

Our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary trip to Scotland was in peril of falling completely apart before it could get started. On our first full day in Scotland, the tour guide engaged by our travel company was a no-show. There we were, with a full day trip to see the best of the Scottish Highlands, stranded at our hotel with no driver, no guide, no tickets, and the driver/guide telling us he had us on his books for a different day. Fortunately, the concierge suggested he give Andrew MacDonald of Hame Tours a call. Andrew arrived soon afterwards, and the rest, as they say, is the stuff great travel stories and wonderful memories are made of. Andrew is engaging, personable, deeply knowledgeable, and fun to be with. He got our day immediately back on track. Are you interested in Scottish history? Current events? Architecture? Archeology? Anthropology? How about a four thousand-year old house? Andrew MacDonald is your man. He even quoted poetry and added some Scottish folk songs in a lovely light baritone. If you are planning a trip to Inverness, and are looking for a private guided tour of the best the Highlands has to offer, you cannot do any better than Hame Tours.

Fabulous tour with Michael. Very knowledgeable of Inverness and surrounding area. There were 4 couples and his van was comfortable, clean and a great way to see the area. His sense of humor was delightful and he was willing to accommodate as needed. Highly recommend using Michael if you are in the Inverness area

Michael was our guide who picked us up in a very comfortable Mercedes van promptly at 9:00 am. He was very knowledgeable, informative and filled with local stories. He made great Outlander references and was informative with fun facts about Outlander! My husband was eager to trying on a kilt and Michael directed us to a beautiful store where they sold kilts and other Scottish apparel.

Highly recommend. Easy pick up in invergorden Scotland at cruise terminal. Micheal K. did an outstanding job as our tour guide. Informative and accommodating. Exceeded my expectations, and we thoroughly enjoyed the service he provided.

Absolutely recommended! My family and I did a private tour of the Isle of Skye last week, and it was the highlight of our whole week in Scotland. Communication and planning went smoothly: even though we only contacted Andrew a couple of weeks in advance, he helped us organise it and ensured we had a car and a guide for 6 people. On the day, our amazing driver Michael K. went above and beyond to give us the best possible experience. Michel's a great driver, really nice to chat with, and incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Scottish culture and history. He made sure we covered all the spots we wanted to visit, sharing some Scottish snacks and drinks on the way, and accommodating every single preference of our group. We didn't think we could cover so much in one day, but somehow Michael made it happen. Thanks Michael and Hame tours for an unforgettable day!

We used Andrew MacDonald for an airport pickup and two full day tours this last Saturday and Sunday. He was highly referred by the Ness Walk Hotel, one of the best hotels in Inverness. My son and I could not have been happier with Andrew. We originally booked one day, and then booked a second day a few hours after finishing our first day of touring the area around Loch Ness. Our second day tour was the area around the Black Isle. Andrew is extremely knowledgeable about the area, the Highland clan system and Scotland and British history in general. He quoted poetry and sang us some songs while he drove. We both came away with a greater appreciation of the highlands and Scottish and Highlander history and culture. We highly recommend using Andrew for tours!

Andrew MacDonald our private tour driver was a “Amazing”!!!The goal was to visit Dunbeath Castle north in the highlands where my Grandmother worked 125 years ago with my daughters. We contacted Andrew before traveling with a few places we wanted to visit he accomplished that and more. We had an appointment at 11:00 am garden tour at the castle with Neil (the gardener such a sweet man). We stopped at Dunbeath Heritage Centre (to learn some family history) Neil Gunn memorial in the harbour Andrew was so patient with us. We were in aw of everything he let us take it all in. Andrew kept us on schedule but added so much more by singing to us (a beautiful voice) no radio needed 🥰We had the full experience going off the main road to pick Heather in the highlands, seeing the hills and glens, stopped at an extra castle to view Dunrobin Castle, stopped at a memorial for Sir John a MacDonald in the hills we didn’t know existed so many memories made!!! Andrew kept us safe on the narrow roads with so much historical knowledge of the area we would have never known without him. I can’t tell you how much we appreciated you which made the one day out of our 7 days tour of Scotland the most precious. My heart is over flowing you made a dream come true I can’t Thank you enough! Please ask for Andrew MacDonald you won’t be disappointed! Till me meet again my friend safe travels

My husband and I signed up for a private day tour with Hame with the intent to explore my Mackay Clan heritage. We spent the day with Andrew who was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about history. He took us around the highlands including the very North up to Betty Hill and Tongue. Andrew was lots of fun and made sure we saw many interesting things and we could not have asked for a better day. Thanks Andrew!

Outstanding experience!! Jim was a wonderful guide. He went above and beyond to make this the most memorable experience we had in Scotland!!!

We are so glad we did this private tour! It was easy to set up; our driver/guide was waiting for us when we got off the ship and took us to all the places we wanted to see. Michael was kind, knowledgeable and was a delight to be with while we were in the Scottish Highlands. I recommend anyone looking for a custom experience to book this! We have fond memories thanks to him.

Ryan was amazing. He provided my family and I with top tier hospitality during a four day tour of the highlands from Edinburgh to Skye and back to the areas surrounding Culloden. He was flexible and adaptive to schedule changes and professional in every way. He is friendly, easy going, and we were lucky to have him as our private guide.

Great tour of the Highlands and the Isle of Skye! Castles. Whisky tasting, scenic view stops! Guide was very flexible and make many stops for photos!

We were very concern about this trip as we were traveling with a 2 years old child. But the tour was amazing. The car was comfortable, it was provided a seat car for our daughter, Andrew drives safe and he was so kind and nice with us, told us lot of good history and the places visited! It was excellent. Thank you Andrew!
