We are now home from a wonderful trip. It's not without a tiny bit of trepidation that one books several days with a guide, sight unseen. (Kind of like signing up for a week on a very small sailboat with people you don't know ...it could be great, or it could be awful). But we were pretty confident ... all of our email correspondence as we planned the trip led me to believe that you were knowledgeable, a good listener, cheerful, resourceful, and above all, had a good sense of humor.

We all four had such a good time ... learned a lot, laughed a lot, drank a fair amount.

I have been remiss in not having written sooner, but the memory of Scotland and the Outlander Tour will be imprinted in my heart and mind for a lifetime. Although I am a Gabaldon fan, this tour far exceeded my greatest expectations. Your attention to detail brought the history of the Highlands to life in a way I would never have imagined. I was moved by vivid descriptions of battles and personages, castles and outposts and a country and heritage, that although not mine, were both tragic and romantic. This was a great tour that awakened the mysterious charm of Scotland and its people. Thank you!

Alastair, the trip you arranged for us was the best vacation my family has ever taken. We actually visited 19 different castles on our trip and my wife and 10 year old never tired of a single one, as you are aware we spent a couple of days in Edinburgh, visiting all the sites and taking the ghost tours etc, which my daughter still talks about four months later! The beauty of the whole trip for all of us was how inexpensive the entire trip was for us to spend two entire weeks in one of the most beautiful countries in the world.

We will return and we will use your services once again! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
