5.00Malcom was great and was flexible with our pick up point. Knowledgeable and friendly. He even offered to book some additional tours for us based on his connections. One we would never have found on our own and it became the highlight of our visit.
Perfect day long adventure

5.00Malcolm was a fabulous host and tour guide. We really enjoyed the added touches of his knowledge and experience about the land and its history, the people. He selected a fabulous little café for lunch. Perfect memory for our trip to Scotland.
Castles and Cows a Plenty
