Skye day trip from Inverness with four guided hikes to Storr, Quiraing, Fairy Glen and Cuillins, plus Portree lunch and Eilean Donan photos.

“The sites were incredibly beautiful, like nothing I’ve ever seen. Our guide Murdoch was great and entertained us with lots of history and stories during the drive. The coach was comfortable.

I was lucky to have a small group of really nice people on the tour so we had a lovely walk and chat and the guide told us some cool stories too. Saw all of the famous landmarks and some places I didn't know existed like the church that was bombed in the war. Then the pub! Really old place with good beer. Sat outside and it was the perfect place to end. Recommend this hike!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 1 hour · from $20

Walk with the world’s smallest sheep in Shropshire, feed them, and take photos on a working farm in about one hour.

“The tour was amazing, it exceeded our expectations hugely. We got there early so we’re able to sign in at the cafe and wonder around the farm being able to look and feed all the animals the grass feed and rich tea biscuits which they loved. Everything was very well organised and felt very personal as there was only one other family there. Romulous and Rumpus behaved so well too whilst being walked and everyone there was lovely. We would definitely love to go again. Thank you for having us ♥️”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2 reviews · 10 hours · from $334

Full-day Highlands tour from Edinburgh with guided Doune Castle, Highland hike, and paddleboarding or kayaking on lochs, plus campfire drinks.

With her stories, insights, and conversation, we felt like we had a local friend showing us around. Our seven-year-old mentioned several times out loud how much fun she was having—not something we are used to hearing on hikes. We would definitely do tours with Scottish Odyssey again!”
