Wonderful tour! Colin was a very knowledgeable and fun guide. He customized things to our needs and gave us a great tour.
Collin's guide services are off the chart marvelous! He took us for a walk along the loch, made sure we missed much of the tour bus crowds, and provided us with personal service! As a local resident of Scotland, he knew the area and the people.
Colin arrived right on time and away we went on our 3 castle tour. The car is very comfortable and Colin detailed everything as we drove by on our way. We were with Colin for 8 hours saw 3 very different castles and it was spectacular. Having lunch with Colin at Cowder castle was great a d we got to learn a lot about his business, life and land. Colin was dressed in full Scottish garb and looked every bit the part. Colin returned us to our ship with time to spare and even managed to take a photo.
Colin greeted us on this chilly day wearing a traditional kilt, sweater, knee socks and hiking boots �� We liked him from the first handshake. He is very thoughtful, friendly and easy to talk to. He escorted us to some of the most interesting and scenic places we've ever been privileged enough to see. We learned information not only about the places we viewed but also about some of the local ways. We are fortunate and blessed to have spent this day with this very fine person.
