Aleksandra did a fantastic job designing our 3-week travel through Central Scottish Highlands and its adjacent islands! Scotland is gorgeous and its landscapes and views are magical with “four seasons in a day” weather pattern. We are already planning to go back to North Scottish Highlands with Aleksandra’s help in 2028.

We are quite particular about what we want to do (avoiding touristy towns and places as much as possible), hiking opportunities, distillery experiences, accommodations that have beautiful and dramatic views in quiet and/or isolated locations. Aleksandra nailed them all for us!!! We couldn’t be happier in each location! The pace was perfect! In the first draft of itinerary, I asked her “why are we staying at Loch Lomond for 4 nights?” Well, she knew we needed 4 nights/5 days to explore the beautiful loch and the surrounding area for hiking!

Throughout the 3-week journey, she was just a phone call and text away assisting us when we needed. She was always available for us like a magic! What a comfort it was to have her watching over our back!

Thank you, Aleksandra for giving us the fabulous memory of Scotland!!!
