Here is some reviews from all my happy customers...

We had a really good day learning a lot about Scottish history, whisky, etc. We went on a tour with Ian Linn. We will strongly recommend him to others searching for a guide and driver for a tour. I am planning a tour in October with another group and will contact Ian to help me arrange it.

Christer Olsson, Sweden

Absolutely five star. Knowledgeable and personable. Please add our names to the long list of folks singing the praises of Ian Linn. We had the pleasure of a half-day walking tour of Edinburgh on 17th June. Absolutely five star. Knowledgeable and personable, a pleasure with whom to spend time. He definitely should get a raise! Since Scots were the first to do cloning, perhaps that’s a solution! Again, thanks, Ian

Royse Smith and Hal Davey, USA

My husband and I returned a little over a week ago from our trip to Scotland. It was outstanding due to our tour guide , Ian Linn. Ian has incredible knowledge of the history, geography and culture of this beautiful land. Ian’s wit makes his tours not just interesting, but really fun.

Jerry and Jeanne Shirley, USA

That was GOOD STUFF. It was an unforgettable guided tour to the Orkney Island . And it was possible thanks to Ian Linn, who tailor-made a personalized tour as we’ve never had before. We can’t wait to come back and enjoy new views and places in Scotland but with all that made us feel so comfortable: jokes, Scottish soundtracks, fun stories and epic moments. That was GOOD STUFF!
