He wanted nothing more than for is to have a fabulous day!! He adjusted the agenda before and during the tour to meet our needs! Hr made suggestions, offered short cuts and accommodated us throughout the day! It was a perfect day! Thank you Billy! Tim, Beth and Samantha

We had a wonderful day with Lawrence! He was very knowledgeable about the history of Scotland and the geography of Skye. We saw so much during our day trip and we loved feeding the hairy coos and eating fresh seafood! He personalized the trip for our family and we were so pleased with all that we got to see! I would definitely recommend this tour!

We went to Isle of Skye with Billy. He was fantastic! We spent about 12 hours with him. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He made sure we were doing the things and going to the places that interested us most. The trip was flexible and in fact we altered it mid-trip to track down a village where I have ancestral roots. It is a beautiful place and going with a local guide who knows the history (and can safely navigate the roads) makes it all the more enjoyable. This is a small family operation. Would highly recommend and would definitely hire this company again next time I'm in Inverness.

We had an amazing experience with Lawrence! He attended to all of our needs, went out of his way to show us everything, selected a great restaurant for lunch and after 12 h, pull some strings to get us in a restaurant for dinner with no reservations and lots of people waiting! I totally recommend doing a tour with him. We escaped the crowds, got great stories and engaging conversations. We all loved it!

Lawrence made our tour of Skye a day we will always remember. He was so knowledgeable about the area and Scotland in general. Our group of 6 can't stop talking bout what a great day and experience it was.

We had the best experience on this tour with Lawrence as our tour guide. It was definitely the highlight of our vacation. He is knowledgeable, kind-hearted, and has a wonderful spirit. We appreciated his extensive knowledge and how he shared it with us throughout the tour. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and Lawrence tailored the itinerary to include everything we wanted to see. Right from the start, when I booked the tour, Lawrence was in contact with us. He even came to our hotel a day before the tour started to plan the route. It was evident that he genuinely enjoys his work and does it with love and passion. I believe that it's not just the places you visit, but the people you share your experiences with that make them truly memorable. Lawrence, thank you for being yourself and for teaching us so much about your beautiful country. We will cherish the memories and the knowledge you shared with us forever.

Lawrence did a great job, first with the Isle of Skye tour, and then a day visiting distilleries. Super knowledgeable and very friendly, he even took us to lunch at the most amazing whiskey bar I've ever seemed. Very accommodating.
