The tours organised by Ryan Mackenzie-Raymond to celebrate my 87th birthday (organised by my daughter) were simply awesome. The major tours to Skye (extensive), Loch Ness- Invermoriston-Invergarry-Falls of Foyers-Dores Beach, Glen Finnan-Glencoe-Fort William were superb and we really enjoyed it. The tours were immaculately tailored to my age and ability and what was beautiful is that I waa able to see and enjoy most of the Highlands as a young person would do. The three tour guides, Malcolm Murray, Graeme MacDonald and Gavin Simm looked after me like a member of their family. Nothing was too much trouble for them and the tours were conducted meticulously. They embellished the tours with their detailed commentary including geology, history, legend, myth, humour, fun, camaraderie and culture, which enhanced our knowledge of the Highlands manifold. Sgurr tours and the delivery of tours by this elite group of guides and Ryan's attention to detail and promptness in responding to situations/emails/phone calls is simply outstanding. If you want to visit the Highlands, Sgurr tours will be the best and do it to the highest standards. Photos attached. Kamala

We had the absolute pleasure of touring Inverness and the surrounding Highlands with a truly top-notch guide and driver, Ryan. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Not only was he an incredibly safe and professional driver, navigating the winding Highland roads with ease, but he also brought authentic Scottish charm and pride to every moment of our tour — complete with traditional attire that added a fun and memorable touch! What really set him apart, though, was his depth of knowledge. He shared fascinating history, legends, and local insights with passion and clarity, bringing the Highlands to life in a way that felt personal and meaningful. Whether we were exploring castles, lochs, or scenic hidden gems, he always knew just where to go — and his storytelling made it unforgettable. This was truly a five-star experience and a highlight of our time in Scotland. If you’re visiting Inverness and want an exceptional guide who combines professionalism, personality, and deep local expertise, look no further.

Really loved the day. 5 of us had one full day in Scotland and communicated directly with Ryan from Sgurr tours to create the best use of our day. It was perfect from castles, to mountains, waterfalls to shopping. Ryan was really great at communicating throughout the planning. He was personable, knowledgeable and fun! The car was clean and comfortable. We never felt rushed. Book directly in his website it helps everyone. Book with him they did awesome!

We did a private 12-hour tour from Inverness to the Isle of Skye with Ryan, and it was hands-down the highlight of our two-week trip through the UK. From the start, Ryan was incredibly communicative, organized, and easy to work with. He made everything smooth and stress-free, which allowed us to just enjoy the experience. Ryan was not only knowledgeable about the land and the history of Scotland, but also genuinely fun to hang out with for the day. His sense of humor and storytelling made the drive fly by. He curated an amazing itinerary, including a stunning two-hour hike to the Old Man of Storr—without a doubt the most breathtaking part of our entire trip. What made the tour extra special were all the thoughtful touches: a Scottish whiskey and gin tasting, local snacks to sample along the way, and professional photos he took of us throughout the day. As a photographer, I’m usually behind the camera, so it was such a treat to have beautiful photos of the two of us in some of the most scenic parts of the Highlands. We left feeling like we barely scratched the surface and are already dreaming of coming back for a multi-day tour with Ryan to explore even more. If you're thinking of seeing the Highlands, stop scrolling and book with Ryan. You won't regret it.

Sgùrr tours with Ryan was the best way to experience the highlands and Isle of Skye we could have imagined! He kept us entertained from the moment we stepped into the van. My personal favorite was listening to his knowledge of history and my wife’s favorite was understanding his knowledge of how the Galic language works. This more personalized tour I would always pick before a big bus tour. He did a great job of implementing stops as needed for breaks. Thank you so much for an amazing day, Sgùrr!

Spent an amazing day touring the Highlands with Ryan. He was full of knowledge and very entertaining.Ryan planned the perfect itinerary to meet our interests; he had even done some research and took us to visit our family/clan castle. Overall, great experience. I highly recommend!

Ryan was amazing! We did the two day tour and loved every minute of it!

An amazing experience. The day could not have gone any better. Very easy pickup at the hotel in Inverness. Gavin was our guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and did a great job explaining what we were seeing and the history behind throughout the day. He made the day fun. The very long day goes by extremely fast with all the stops. Can’t beat the clean, comfortable Mercedes and whisky. Would definitely recommend.
