    This was the best experience. Private and customizable. If we wanted to stop it wasn't a problem. We learned a lot.

    From the moment that we met with James throughout the four hours that we spent him, we could see his love for Scotland, his vast knowledge about the country’s ‘history and his willingness to share that with us. Out day was quite enlightening and a lot of fun I would highly recommend James to anybody who wants to spend a glorious day learning about what Scotland has to offer
