    Just came back from a wonderful guys' trip to Scotland. The journey became more remarkable because of Andrew. He made our trip extremely comfortable with no rush, stopping wherever we wanted, customizing as needed, and constantly asking for feedback, innovative places, and ideas to make things memorable. He took us to places that regular tourists don't go or know about. He finds his way to facilitate our requirements. His knowledge of Scotland and its history will give a sharp challenge to any historian. He will ensure you have a trip you remember for years to come. Most importantly, his smile and being a wonderful person will give you the comfort of being in good hands and a trip with no worries. I highly recommend taking trips with Andrew as then you are not only just having fun and going for a trip, but also you will be building great memories that will stay for years to come.

    Diese Reise war voll von positiven Eindrücken und unser Tour Guide war definitiv eine sehr positive. Ich war mir einer Gruppe von Freunden mit sehr verschiedenen kultureller Herkunft unterwegs was die Aufgabe für unseren Guide nicht einfach gemacht hat aber Andrew war einfach super klasse. Er überzeugte nicht nur mit seinen exzelenten Wissen über Schottland sondern hat mit seiner sehr angenehmen Art auch alle Personen unserer Gruppe Immer wieder eingebunden. Auch im Umgang mit seinen lokalen Kollegen an den verschiedenen Punkten war er sehr sehr angenehm und ich, so mein Eindruck, sehr wertschätzend und höflich mit seinen Mitmenschen umgegangen. Grade in der Post Covid Zeit wo Menschen oft sehr ruppig miteinander umgehen war das eine unglaublich angenehme Erfahrung für mich. Zusammenfassend möchte ich sagen, dass mich die Tour und die Leistung unseres Tourguids in allen Punkten voll überzeugt hat und ich das Gesamtpaket im voll und ganz empfehlen kann. Ich selber planen in Gedanken schon weitere Touren mit ihm wenn ich zurück bin denn besser kann man seine Zeit in Schottland nicht verbringen.
