you show due respect to your fellow passengers, and the decor.
Q. What makes this tour a backpacker tour?
A. Our style of guiding is light-hearted, but not lightweight. We
want you to
understand this incredible region, but we want you to have a laugh
as
well. We pitch our tour at backpackers, because we find our style
best
suited to younger travellers, but everyone with a sense of humour
is
welcome.
Q. Do you go to the Isle of Skye?
A. No, we are based in Inverness, and we feel that a full day tour
of the
island would be too long a day, and consist of too much driving,
not
enough time off the bus.
We can however offer you a reduced price ticket if you want to leave
the
tour at eilean donan castle. From there, the public bus runs to
Kyle,
where there are several hostels. Contact us for further details.
Q. Why do you only have two tours?
A. We have picked a few of the many fantastic places around Inverness.
if you have something different in mind, contact us with details, and we'll
give
you a price.
Q. What is worn under the kilt?
A. Nothing. Everything is in perfect working order.
