Not only the guide was a local but also a very caring person (I'm not referring to the superficial nice smiles you always get but real warmth), he was well prepared, nice to listen to and really intelligent in his storylines which is a rare gift. He also led us a bit off the beaten tracks and Scottish landscape managed the rest of it. It was such a lovely day! I highly recommend! Thank you so much!”
