9 reviewed
Skye is a long way from Glasgow, which is why most trips run over more than a day — the Cuillin, the Quiraing, and Eilean Donan castle on the road out. Here are the best Skye tours from Glasgow ranked, with how many days each takes, what the nights cost, and how much of Skye you actually see.

Three days from Glasgow to Isle of Skye and the Scottish Highlands: small-group comfort, key castles, Portree nights, Nessie spotting.
“This tour was one of the best parts of our trip to Scotland. Our guide John from Rabbies tours was very personable as well as a wealth of information, played great music, and kept us entertained. There were many stops for short hikes (if you choose to do them), a variety of interesting places to see, and plenty of coffee and bathroom stops. My husband, adult daughter, and I highly recommend this trip. The day we toured the sights on Isle of Skye was rainy but John watched the weather and rearranged our itinerary so we could see the best outdoor scenic spots after the rain stopped. The Rabbies Tour…”

“Gillian is the perfect guide for both foreigners and also people from closer regions I guess. She has great knowledge of anything you might need, has stories of a diverse range of subjects and of course, of every inch of the route you will experience. Music is very well curated through the trip and she is punctual in every step while not getting you stressed. We strongly recommend her services and the route. Thanks Gillian!”

“I was part of the 3 day tour to Isle of Skye with the incredible guide Scott. Throughout the whole trip Scott just emitted the most positive energy and it was a delight to have him tell us about the spots we visited. During the trip we had a good amount of time to explore towns/places ourselves, which was very important to me. Scott listened to our wishes and tried to fit everything into the tour that he could. These past 3 days were a wonderful experience and I couldn't recommend it any more. Besides that I am very happy with the for me booked accommodation. They were able to…”

“We were traveling with my adult brother who is on the autism spectrum And everybody especially our tour guide Alastair was very patient and wonderful with him. We had a three week trip in the UK and those three days in the Highlands with the wonder photo stops and interacting among the passengers was our favorite. My brother talked about this portion of the trip the most and we heard Alastair's name a lot as he reaped our trip to Friends and Family. Pictures do not do the highlands justice. We extended our trip just for this excursion and very thankful we did. It was Amazing!!”
