Portree Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

What a wonderful tour! We were looking for an 8 hour tour and a small group (there were 8 people). This one was perfect! Despite the mix of weather we had a lot of fun. Finella was a great guide and took us to all the main sites and tried to time the weather as best she could! Best tour I’ve had in Scotland! Highly recommend it if in Portree.

A great experience with John! He was so knowledgeable and personable. The tour also very flexible. I would 11/10 recommend!

Wow, what a day. The weather may not have been ideal but the experience certainly was. The sights were amazing and our guide Fin was fantastic. She was so entertaining and provided so much detail in an easy to absorb way. Probably THE best trip that we have ever gone on. Well done to The Tartan Trailblazer Tours for an amazing experience.

Driver (Willie) was very nice and knowledgeable. He did an awesome job. Went to many historical sites.

We had such a fantastic day exploring the Isle of Skye with David! He was absolutely lovely, incredibly knowledgeable and made the whole experience really enjoyable from start to finish.He took us to so many beautiful spots, including places we would never have known about or thought to visit ourselves. It was great being driven around and being able to relax, enjoy the scenery, and learn more about the island along the way.David was friendly, easy-going and clearly knows Skye incredibly well. The tour felt really personal rather than rushed or overly touristy. We saw so much in one day and had a brilliant time.I'd definitely recommend David to anyone visiting Skye, such a great way to experience the island!

David's team are such fun people to spend time with, and we really appreciated their incredible knowledge of Skye. Our driver was kind, personable, and incredibly flexible when our plans and the weather changed—which is especially valuable when planning anything on Skye!We asked David's team to help transport our guests to our wedding ceremony and then take them on a tour of the island afterward. Everyone really enjoyed their time with him and loved getting to experience Skye with someone who knows the island so well. We were so grateful to have David's team as part of our wedding day and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a warm, knowledgeable, and flexible guide around Skye!

This was the best tour of our vacation. John was awesome, so much fun and so much knowledge. My wife and I were the only people people in the van so it was a very private tour which was amazing. I can't recommend this tour enough.

Our guide, Willie, was really accommodating about making sure we hit all the spots that were on our wish list for the day. He mapped out a route that allowed us to see everything and was open to changes along the way. He was also flexible with the timing at each stop and easygoing about our request for multiple coffee stops :).

Great tour of the countryside and castle. Guide also picked a great place for lunch with wonderful gluten free crab-cakes! Highly recommend booking!

We could not have hoped for a better day and guide on The Isle of Skye. Dezso (Chubby) was fantastic... from the thoughtful items throughout his van, to his area and historical knowledge, to his starting early to beat the crowds - we had a wonderful day on Skye. We highly recommend this tour and guide.

Our tour of the Isle of Skye was awesome! Fin was AMAZING! It was clear how much she genuinely loves Scotland and the Isle of Skye. Her passion for the area came through in every story, fact, and stop we went too. She was incredibly kind, funny, and knowledgeable, and she made us feel completely comfortable and cared for throughout the entire day. Fin shared music with us throughout the day which we loved so much. Even while driving us around for hours, she made the experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. Fin left us wanting MORE from the Isle of Skye and her tour!

Incredible day seeing beautiful sights all over Skye! Tourguides Michelle and Fin are absolutely lovely and so dedicated in what they do. They worked around the weather (which in my opinion just added to the adventure) and made sure we got to see the most we could (Fin even dug out the dinosaur foot prints in the mud!) Felt so cared for and the treats and songs were a nice addition. Most well spent money! Would recommend them to everyone! ✨

We had a fabulous day with Dave and saw a lot of interesting things during the day. He took really good care of us and proposed nice places to visit. He listened in to our plan and completed it with some more interesting stops. All day he guided us and gave us a better understanding of Skye.We had a really super day, can highly recommend this company!

My wife and I had a very personalized, wonderful tour with David. At each stop he got out and walked with us, pointed out the best vantage spots, and was filled with knowledge and lore of the area. His outfit specializes in smaller more intimate tours, which not only enhances the experience but also makes it easier to get in and out of often crowded areas. I highly recommend Explore Skye!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Scottish Experience with John from Aye Scotland Tours! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿We had an absolutely wonderful experience touring Scotland with John from Aye Scotland Tours. It was a private one, just my daughter and I. From the very beginning, John was professional, friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty and history of Scotland with us.He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted from our trip and was extremely accommodating to our wants, needs, and interests. Nothing felt rushed or like a standard, one-size-fits-all tour.

Fantastic! John picked us up from the hotel and took us to the magical Isle of Skye. We stopped at Glenshiel chocolates where I had the best brownie and hot chocolate of my life! We stopped in the picturesque town of Portree and had lunch; John recommended a great place. Afterwards, we hiked the incredible Quiraing- it was raining but we had waterproofs so we comfortably trekked. We were SO impressed by the scenery of this place. Top place of beauty in the world! So glad we didn’t have to navigate the roads ourselves. John also knows a ton of history and highland culture. We absolutely loved this tour and I’ve already recommended it to friends and family. This tour is awesome! Thank you!!!
