My family of 4 enjoyed our last day in Scotland with Kevin immensely. He was a wealth of information about all things Scotland. My two teenagers loved hearing his description of places and stories along the way. He is one of the best tour guides we have had in our travels.
Kevin is fabulous, wouldn't want anyone else. The tour and information was awesome. We'll be back.
This was an absolute highlight of our trip to Scotland! I would recommend Kevin to any couple or family, with no reservation. Saw so many highlights and covered a lot of ground in one day. Kevin was attentive, kind, funny and knowledgeable.
We were a family of 6 adults with significant world travel experience on a full day tour. Kevin was fantastic ! Kevin is knowledgeable, welcoming, with a wonderful sense of humor, and very willing to modify the tour as the situation dictates. The day went by quickly, Kevin is a gifted orator ! Kevin is prompt , dependable and was very helpful with local merchant recommendations. Kevin is a genuine, entertaining and excellent representative of Scotland. We would absolutely book Kevin again !
Upbeat personality. Modified tour to meet our needs. Very knowledgeable. Prompt. Would definitely use again.
