Best way to see the sights with a local guide A fantastic way to see the sights, especially for those travelling without a car. Mac is a knowledgeable and witty guide to his island, effortlessly ranging over history, contemporary culture, nature and insights into the local ways of life. It’s a fun vibe and everyone felt relaxed and bonded by the end. We had the worst possible weather and it was more than worth it. Highly recommended!!

Amazing tour with Daylight Wanderer! A wonderful tour of all the key ancient sites. Lasted 5 hours and the guide Mac made it a wonderful experience. He was friendly, entertaining and full of interesting facts! Honestly couldn’t rate this highly enough.Tips- Island weather is fickle so take layers and waterproofs! Take a wee sandwich with you if you can as the time/ options for lunch on the tour are limited.

Exceptional Tour with Amazing Guide I cannot stress this enough, this is one of the best tours I’ve been on! We had an absolutely amazing time around Lewis with our fantastic tour guide, Mac! From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Mac was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the islands. He brought the history, culture, landscapes and stories of Lewis and Harris to life while making the tour enjoyable and personal. His local knowledge really made the difference, and it felt like we were seeing Lewis through the eyes of someone who genuinely loves and knows the area. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lewis and Harris!

Insuperabile! Fantastico! Mac è una guida appassionata, attenta, disponibile e gentilissima. Il nostro piccolo gruppo (noi due, più un ulteriore viaggiatore) abbiamo potuto godere per un'intera mattinata delle sue dettagliate ma sempre avvincenti spiegazioni, ci ha portato a visitare nel corso di 5 ore pienissime ma allo stesso tempo rilassanti tutti i siti storici più importanti di Lewis. Super consigliata. Peccato non aver potuto prenotare anche l'escursione See&Shore; e peccato non essere a Lewis da ottobre in poi per il WinterSkyTour, in cui ci ha garantito che si riesce a godere dell'aurora boreale praticamente OGNI sera. Ma torneremo e recupereremo, Davvero insuperabile! Grazie Mac

A tour that far exceeds my expectations! Stornoway is not a place that I've heard of before my cruise. I was so glad to have the opportunity to visit because everywhere Mac (the tour operator and owner) took us on this excursion was either scenic/interesting. I enjoyed Mac's commentary, the perfect balance of information and fun. The minibus was so new, clean, and comfortable too. He offered a wide array of snacks and coffee/tea. The 5 hours flew by so fast. Price is very reasonable for tour of this calibre. Highly recommend this tour! Mac is an astrophysicist by trade, so if you are interested in stargazing, he may be able to help.
