Our private tour with both Avril and Amy was truly amazing. The care and attention both women gave our family was something I’ve never experienced before. Avril’s knowledge of Culloden and the Cairns got us off to an amazing start to our tour of the Highlands. Then we had Amy for 3 days and she was truly incredible. Her depth of knowledge on the history of Scotland that she shared, the ease she drove the minibus through Skye and all of the Highlands, her use of music to enhance our travels, I could go on and on for days on all that she did to enhance our experience. I would recommend both women to anyone and everyone!! Thanks so much for making our family vacation to Scotland one for the ages!

Avril's tour guide Amy took us up to Thurso Scotland where my wife was born over 40 years ago. We got to have photo op's at the hospital where she was born, the house they lived in, Dunnethead Lighthouse and several other locations. Amy was an excellant tour guide and was very knowlagable on many Scotish topics. We got to do what we wanted when we wanted all we had to do was let Amy know. Avril was very easy to work with and extremely enthusiastic about helping us get the tour we wanted. We would recomend this team very highly if you need a tourguide and driver service in the Highlands of Scotland.

We had great time with Avril's travels, she is a very knowledgeable and fun tour guide, we took the Highlands, Dunrobin and Dornoch tour the first day and she tailored the second day to the things we wanted to see and do. Avril went out of her way to make sure we did everything on our list and enjoyed ourselves, we were collected and drop off from our hotel in a very nice clean and new minibus, with all the covid measures in place that made us feel safe and comfortable, I could not recommend her services enough. Thank you Avril
