“Thank you for everything Kathie! We had an amazing trip! Having a driver guide made all the difference and Mike Talbot took such great care of us! He made my mom his top priority and made the most out of our time together in Ireland. It was a trip of a lifetime, and I am so grateful for the precious time spent and memories made with my family!”

Franklin, TN

“This trip was so fantastic, I don’t think it could ever be matched!!! Beyond expectations! Especially our tour guide [Scott Guthrie] — cannot really relay how special this experience was— truly.”

"​We cannot thank you enough! We had the most wonderful time, perhaps the best vacation we’ve ever had as a family. ... We are all getting our feet back under us slowly, but look at photos or talk about our trip almost daily. Thank you again for everything, you helped get us organized and your help with the timing was wonderful, we couldn’t have done it without you! "

"Dear Kathie, I can't even begin to tell you what a sensational time I had on this tour! Whenever I look at a picture on my phone, I recapture the wonder and awe I experienced at that particular site--and the tour was FILLED with incredible sites and so many of those enchanting moments. ..."

Long Beach, NY

"​Selling this Scotland tour as an Outlander tour is really selling it short. I for one had never watched a single episode of Outlander. ... For me though it was not about some TV show, but rather it was an excellent way to see the back roads of Scotland. We went where the big coaches could never go, saw country-side that those tourist never dreamed of seeing and sites that were far off the big-group itineraries. ..."

Littleton, CO

"I can't even begin to tell you what a thrilling experience we all had in Scotland. It was the best trip EVER! It was absolutely everything I had hoped for as an Outlander fan, and it went well beyond expectations. The lodging was great, the excursions with Ian were fabulous and the memories we made are priceless. We all fell in love with Scotland! "
