    Trevor was an amazing guide, and I would 100% recommend booking him for a hike in the beautiful Highlands. He not only was prepared ahead of time with clear and advanced communication on what the hike would entail, what kind of clothes to wear, etc. but was also prepared during the hike for any situation that could arise. His certification as a guide gave me peace of mind that he was ready for anything, knowledgeable about the terrain, and experienced enough in the travel space to make it a great day. Not to mention how kind and personable he is! I truly enjoyed his company on the hike, and our wide-ranging conversation. He was also flexible on the time to allow me to make a later start so I could take the bus in from town. Bonus is that his partner runs a Scotland travel blog called Wander Somewhere that I found out about through him, and it was super helpful for ideas of what to do and where to eat while I was in Edinburgh. I will definitely book with Trevor again if I am fortunate enough to get to go back to Scotland!

    We had Trev as our guide and walked to Steal Falls. It was wonderful and he told us a lot and was very helpful to explain everything. We had a lovely time. If you like to walk and see beautiful nature I would advise you to do this with Trev.
