We were a group of friends staying in a local lodge. We originally booked for 10 people but on the day 20 decided to go , but John happily agreed to take us all , the largest group he has taken out. You meet in the high street and start with a tour around the town learning about its history and that of the local area . John is font of all knowledge and is very interesting and entertaining to listen to, and was happy to answer our endless questions. You then walk through the local community wood and learn the history of the Wade roads before walking back along the banks of the River Spey. We were very lucky as on our trip that we bumped into musician Hamish Napier who knew John and asked if we would like to hear him play, He kindly ran back to his house and picked up his flute to play a tune to us by the river , magical and a very special treat . The walk normally takes 2hrs and is all along flat ground , but we all did 10,000 steps though but because of all of our questions and our impromptu concert our walk took 3hrs but we loved it and at no point did John try and rush us. Its great value for money , and a fantastic way to spend a couple of hours and learn about the local area. Highly recommend

As future residents of Grantown, John gave as an excellent, informative and highly enjoyable tour of the town. We are now fully aware of the importance of the Grants, the Craigellachies and the Caulfeild Road in the location and construction of this historic town and have learned so much more besides about the culture and events which make Grantown such an interesting place to come and live.
We will definitely be joining John again to discover more about the surrounding area in the months to come-thank you!
