Oh my, what can I say about John. We were fortunate to find this funny, interesting and knowledgeable tour guide for another tour to have in Scotland. We were on a tour with John in 2019 when he was with another tour company and went to Glencoe but has now started is own business which is wonderful for him. John is soooo much fun and is constantly entertaining both us and people we meet during our stops. His Highland garb definitely gets attention and he is both endearing and a great representative of Scotland. He was very attentive to our needs and ensured that we were provided with the best possible benefits at all locations we travelled. The fact that he provides mini drams of whisky tasty along the way is entertaining. We overheard someone on the train commenting on how they seen a tour where the guide was providing little tastings......I'm sure that was us....lol. Please note, John DOES NOT indulge in any way. This is totally for the benefit of the customer and I'm sure to his enjoyment on seeing our reactions.....especially to Laphroig. I HIGHLY recommend John as he is one of a kind.
