You'd be completely daft to visit Scotland without Andy! My friends and I mapped out a rather ambitious list of must-do's for our first trip to Scotland...and yet we were left thinking, "How on earth do we do this on our own?!" While we're all wildly capable, who wants to be fussing with a GPS or reading tour books while trying to remember which side of the road to drive? Enter Andy.

He whisked us up and off we went for four days. We hit all the castles and quaint towns we could manage, plus more charm, wit, history, perspective and HUMOR than we could have hoped to have shared with us!
Castles-AYE! Small batch whiskey (and gin for me) tasting-AYE! Amazing drive through the Scottish Highlands-AYE! Highland COW petting? AYE, indeed! Restaurant recommendations...Loch Ness...Hotel recommendations-ABSOLUTELY. And everything from explanations about Scottish customs to Brexit, even plants, wildlife...and yes, try the haggis!

It was an absolute adventure. No question was dumb, each answer thoughtful. I cannot imagine all the things we would have missed out on had we not had Andy narrating it all to us. THIS IS THE WAY TO SEE SCOTLAND.

Need prestige pics for the 'gram? NP...but don't be fooled...there's so much to see that's not in the tour books and you'll miss them without a native Scotsman to show the way, explain what you're seeing...and its significance. These are the things that build memories that last a lifetime.

Life is short. Take the trip, book the tour, enjoy the ride, company and the laughs. Enough gushing...I'll make him blush...but he deserves it. He made our trip even better than we imagined.

We missed him as soon as he dropped us off. We'll be back to see more of Scotland...and I suggest you book early...because we're sending ALL our friends as well!

We had a spectacular day with Andy in the highlands. He was a wonderful guide with lots of knowledge to offer, and made the day enjoyable with our 8 year old son. Andy’s patience with all the questions from our son ranging from interesting to very odd was amazing. We looked for Nessie, visited the Loch Ness exhibition, explored Clava Cairns, visited Dunrobin castle where we saw a spectacular falconry exhibit, and walked through Cawdor castle with its extraordinary gardens. I’d highly recommend a tour with Andy, and hope to come back and visit again!

Very much enjoyed our 5 days spent with another couple of friends and Andy as he proudly showed us around his beloved homeland. He is very adroit and keen to share the history and lore of Scotland and can knit a saucy yarn out of any question you can ask (and, as he says, there are no dumb questions.) He was prompt, courteous, attentive, but not overly so and very upbeat and did I mention funny. Clean, spacious comfy van stocked with water and other necessities and was a very good and cautious driver. Love that he can and will change up the itinerary even on the fly, making it a very personal tour indeed.
