Hi,

I just wanted you to know that I have returned to the US after taking your 5 day Orkney & Highlands tour on June 6th 2009. I had an absolutely wonderful time – due in large part to the efforts of our guides Kath and Colin. I felt like I was traveling with two good friends, rather than just guides. Their sense of humor, knowledge and passion of Scotland was remarkable. Our official welcoming to the highlands was very special and fun and I have the pictures to prove it! I will certainly forward some when I get them a little more organized.

When Colin switched tours after the first day, we all felt as if we were leaving a mate behind. I am sure his new tour benefited from him, but hey – we missed you! By the way Colin, here is the link: http://www.suncountry.com/SCA/index.jsf
Let me know if you decide to come to the US!

Kath was just wonderful. He ability to keep the tour on track and keep all of us entertained, happy, and having a good time was incredible. I particularly loved the little stories and legends she told us as we traveled. We noticed, even though she never said anything that she would give up the nicer lodgings that should have been hers to facilitate other tour members.

Kath and Colin, you made my Scottish trip of a lifetime exactly that. Thank you so much. In addition to the other 14 people on the tour, I feel like your were very good friends too, and I would heartily recommend Wild In Scotland to any friends considering a trip like that. I still need to tour the Hebrides. Maybe next year?

Best regards,
Tom Smith
