The hotels were all superb and seemed to get better each time we moved. We were all very agreeably surpised that the food was superb. I thought your advice on routes and places to visit was very good and we did find some other places to visit as well. I will have no hesitation in reccomending you to friends or anyone else that contemplates visiting Scotland in the future."

Tailormade holiday on public transport
"The overall custom holiday was exceptional. You did a fine job and we appreciate your help in putting our desires together into a wonderful package."
John and Kathryn Vance USA
Tailormade holiday
"We are back and the trip was wonderful; we owe you so many thanks. I am very impressed with the smoothness of all the transitions and particularly with the very high calibre and lovely quality of the places you arranged for us to stay. ....... The food all three places was delightful, many remarkable tastes, serious wine lists, not one bad choice in the lot. We all had a very good time, with just a very slight lemon-zest of family dynamics, which is a very good outcome for three depleted people flying, driving and exploring for a week."
Sarah New York, USA
