Northeast Scotland….use Jamie!

5.00Jamie was great! We really missed him after our 3 tours with him. He did lots of extras as well, as I was post operative and he really had his hands full keeping me upright. 😆. He knew his stuff though and we always felt safe with his driving and expertise.
A day well-spent in Aberdeenshire

5.00My friend Nancy and I feel very fortunate to have stumbled upon Jamie’s tour company, A Path Less Known. He made an effort to look for a place for us on one of his tours on very short notice. The tour we took, “Aberdeen - Private Coastal Tour” - was simply marvelous. He shared stories of local history, flora, and fauna, as well as other interesting/amusing anecdotes. He was careful to ensure that the pacing of the day met everyone’s expectations and physical capabilities. We would highly recommend any tour that he might lead.
Excellent tour guide and stunning landscapes

5.00I cannot recommend Jamie enough as a tour guide. He has a true talent for storytelling and a genuine passion for the history of Aberdeenshire and of Scotland. He is very friendly, knowledgeable and patient and will go above and beyond to suit the group's needs and wishes. When my family and I come to Aberdeenshire again, we will definitely book another tour with him.
