John was a great tour guide. I wanted to spead my day traveling from Inverness to very specific medieval sites for research for a medieval historic novel. He showed up with maps to show us where he was going to take us. I wanted to go to very specific places in the Highlands that were off the beaten path. He researched where I wanted to go and made sure that I got to go to the weird locations. He was patient when I wanted to hike off to a castle. We appreciate his point of view about current and past events that we asked about. It was a great full day tour.
