Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

An absolutely first class experience. Sandy, our driver, was full of humour, knowledge & anecdotes and made the entire tour thoroughly enjoyable. We spent a great time touring around the northern part of Skye and although the weather was poor to start with it was worth a dash out into the rain for a quick view of a waterfall, etc. When the sun did come out we got to see Skye in all its glory. I can really highly recommend taking a 3-4 hour tour with Gus's Taxis - far cheaper & better than anything out cruise ship was offering.

April 22, 2023 - early morning rescue long distance ride from Portree to Kyle of Lochalsh Train Station- My sister and I called Gus when the taxi service we had originally booked for 5 AM failed to show to take us to a very early morning train to Edinburgh for our eventual return to Boston, Massachusetts, USA. We can never thank Gus enough for responding very quickly and professionally to our very early morning call. He soon arranged for a wonderful driver, John, to drive us to the Kyle station, an hour away. We made it back to Edinburgh as soon as “Scotrail possible “ and did not miss our hotel booking. Thank you so very much Gus and John. Best of health to you.

This taxi company is fantastic. I reserved rides ahead of time, and Gus always emailed back promptly and gave prices. Our first day we went to a few places and had the same driver, Malcolm MacLeod. He gave us so much insight about the island and various places to hike. He was on time for everything and gave suggestions beyond what we planned on our itinerary. The next day we had Sandy Inveree, and again, he was perfectly on time, friendly, and again gave us great information. He even has stayed in touch with us via email. Using this taxi company was like hiring a private driver, and we couldn't have been more pleased.

Very friendly and knowledgeable driver that took us to the Quiraing in a short time. Sandy (the driver) told us some very interwting things about the sights we came accross during the ride and let us know where to have the perfect view for taking some pictures. He was waiting for us at the start of the Quiriang to pick us back up and even took a different rout back to show some more beautiful parts of the island. It was a very nice, quick, cheap, beautiful and overall enjoyable ride with very flexible pick up and a very friendly driver. I can really recommend using Gus's Taxis to get around the island in no time. Next time I'm on vacation at skye I will book a full tour through the entire island.
Thanks again to Sandy!

This was my second time using Gus's Taxis for pickup from the ferry from Mallaig, a 5+hour tour of Skye, and finally for dropping us at the Kyle of Lochalsh train station. They never disappoint. They are always on time! The island tour was absolutely the best way to see as much of Skye as possible when you only have one full day. Sandy was our driver/tour guide and his insight and knowledge about the history of Skye totally enhanced our day. It felt like he was showing four of his friends his favorite places. We couldn't have asked for more...Sandy was patient, humorous, entertaining, and it was a pleasure to be in his company. For us, we will always use Gus's Taxis when we get to Skye because they treat their customers like they were old friends.

Traveled with Micheal, he truly went above& beyond to help, make me feel comfortable and get me to the destination all while offering tips, showing me the area and just being a joy to be around. All that combined with the great conversation definitely made my day! Thanks so much Micheal, I would absolutely recommend him as a driver and Gus’s Taxi services in general.

I would Highly Recommend Gus’s Taxis tour company. We had Sandy as our driver/guide yesterday he was very skilled driver, educated us us on all things Skye and entertained us throughout our tour with some great stories. We will not forget Sandy in a hurry. Thank you for a very memorable time in Skye.

Can't say enough good things about Gus's Taxi. Extremely easy to work with and plan for our trip to Skye from the US, friendly drivers, got a great tour from Douglas as well as rides from/to the ferry at Armadale and the train at Kyle. In fact, you can visit Skye without needing to rent a car thanks to Gus's Taxi. They also have pretty good fleet of larger vehicles; our family of five was very comfortably accommodated in their vans.

Our recent tour of Scotland included several taxi rides and Gus's Taxis was superb in every respect, every time. Right on time, cars were clean, comfortable and reliable, and the drivers were courteous and friendly. One driver, Sandy, drove us from Portree to Uig and then 3 days later from Uig to Armadale. In between, Sandy found time to do some ancestry research on my family (which he happily supplied) and a folder full of "Nessie" paperwork for my wife, who had expressed skepticism about Nessie's existence. 5 stars and a hip-hip- hooray for Gus's!

Really reliable and helpful service. The drivers (especially Michael) shared lots of useful local knowledge and helped us get to the area better. He even found us a great restaurant when everything was booked up. Pick ups were always on time and there was never a problem if we had a change of plan.
