Cathy was fantastic when it came to putting together a trip to western Scotland for 4 people whose ages spanned more than 25 years' difference. From arranging transportation within and in between all of our destinations (we didn't need a car the entire 10 day trip) to coordinating lots of movement between 4-5 destinations as well as scheduling enough (but not too many) varied activities to squeeze all we could out of our short time in this amazing country. Cathy was always very quick to respond to our questions and comments when it came to trip planning and maintained her efficient communication even while we were on the trip when some last minute questions came up. We would recommend each and every accommodation she arranged to any one looking for a guide. And there was not one dud among all of the tours/activities/guides that we participated in. Thank you Cathy for helping us make memories to last a lifetime!

Liked this experience more for the views from the castle than for the castle itself. LOTS of people, even midday on a weekday.
Dave was a fantastic guide. He took our input for what we wanted to get out of the half day hiking and made plans from there. Although our first idea for hiking was a bit ambitious (blurb about the Lost Valley hike in our provided itinerary was very misleading about the skill level required for this trail) and we needed to change plans, Dave was able to pivot very quickly and still provide us an amazing guided walk/hike in an area that was beautiful and we had all to ourselves. He made this experience one worth having!
Dave was prompt, friendly, VERY knowledgeable, engaging, dedicated to giving us a quality experience for 9 straight hours, and gave us such a comprehensive, personalized tour of Scotland---we will be forever grateful for our time with him!
While a couple of the restaurants weren't the most unique or charming locations, the food was the reason each stop stood out and was worth visiting. The comprehensive and detailed information that was shared about Glasgow's history, current events/happenings, and its food scene were such treats to enjoy. Lei was a fantastic guide we were lucky to have!
Gareth's knowledge of Edinburgh, both historical and current, was truly impressive. We covered a lot of ground, both literally and figuratively, during our 3 hour walk but we were engaged the entire time as Gareth is committed to providing lots of information but in a way that kept us all tuned in and curious.
Great section of the West Highland Way. It was not as strenuous as we were led to believe by some locals so we were able to complete this hike in about 3.5 hours, which gave us lots of extra time in Kinlochleven to enjoy the scenery.
Sunset on the loch was not just beautiful and relaxing but full of lots of information about the local area and its history. We loved our time out on the water!
