“Es hat alles super geklappt. Waren mit unseren Oldies (84/86) auf der AiIDA Schottland Tour unterwegs und suchten nach einer individuellen Rundtour ohne die Menschenmassen. Malcolm war unser Guid. Nur zu empfehlen. Von Anfang an hat er sich um alles gekümmert und ist auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen. Auch auf den Wunsch eines deutschsprachigen Dolmetscher konnte Malcom lösen. Hier danke an Martina :-). Zum Mittagessen waren wir in einem typischen schottischen Pub. Auch das Whisky Tasting in Royal Lochnagar Distillerie war ein Highlight. Können die Tour uneingeschränkt empfehlen.”

“Malcom, our host greeted us with a huge smile & abundance of patience as he had to wait on our delayed train. He took us immediately for coffee & muffins before starting our journey. He set us up for tours & tastings at 2 Scotch distilleries. My husband, an avid Scotch fan was in heaven. His smile from start to finish was most rewarding for me. Malcolm arranged an impeccable lunch with absolutely some of the best food ever. We also made a delightful stop at Walkers shortbread factory. Malcolm was the pinnacle of hosts. You are sure to enjoy whatever activities you plan with him.”
