At the end of April my daughter, sister and I enjoyed the BEST Mary Queen of Scots tour with Ann! It was our first full day in the UK and Ann provided a fascinating picture of Scotland's history. She is passionate about this topic and so very personable. We had other tours during our trip and Ann's was by far our favorite -- she set the bar high! We highly recommend any tour with Ann, especially Mary Queen of Scots!
Loved our time with Ann and Emma

We spent a wonderful day with Anne and Emma! They were kind enough to change the meeting place to accommodate our husband's tee times and then spent a very soggy and chilly day answering every question we could possibly come up with about Scotland. Anne is an expert in Scottish history and shared so many interesting facts with us. Emma was along for the ride that day and was kind enough to share information about any other questions we came up with. They were both very friendly and personable making it a very comfortable day together. I would very highly recommend spending time with these ladies. Next trip to Scotland they will be a must for our trip!!
What a fabulous day!

We cannot thank Anne enough for making our love of Scotland grow even more. We visited Stirling Castle, Culross, Dunfermline Abbey, Falkland Palace and town, etc. She made Mary Queen of Scots come alive , as well as explaining several Outlander sites in depth. Her knowledge and friendliness were exceptional..The following day we used Mary’s Meanders self-guided tour of Edinburgh. We found it to be very helpful, informative and enjoyable.
Incredible Day!

My sister and I had an incredible day with Anne as she took us on a customized private tour incorporating many Mary Queen of Scots, Outlander, and Queen Margaret sites. She was very knowledgeable, pleasant, accommodating, and thoughtful. We learned a tremendous amount of information which supplanted our research prior to the trip. We would love to go all over again. Definitely a winner!
