Overall, Kathy and Don had a packed itinerary and enjoyed various attractions, castles, hikes, stunning views, and local landmarks during their time in Skye and Lochaber. They were appreciative guests who made the most of their trip to Scotland.
Kathy and Don were very kind and provided this comment about the service I provided them.
“We loved our time in Scotland. You were an incredible guide – mature, steadfast, reliable, timely, knowledgeable; and gave us some novel experiences.
Caroline made the transportation so comfortable. It was so fun to see your home, and grateful that you kept our large bags for a couple nights.”
Thank you Kathy & Don.
