Show moreTrip date: April 2024- AKAlan· June 18th, 2023We just returned from our trip around the British Isles and we loved it but to give credit to Greg who made the tour extra special. I cannot imagine a tour guide as good as Greg. From his use of music to set the mood and the veritable treasure trove of facts. I really enjoyed our stops in the pubs. And for someone with physical issues I really appreciated the luggage delivered to our hotel rooms. At the start and end of the day Greg addressed all the tour group if any questions arose.Then when several members of the tour started coughing he was Jonny on the spot with sprays and disinfectants. The tour could have been improved by skipping Inverness as it had our least favorite room and while my wife and I think most meals lacked flavour the kitchen at the hotel took the cake for poorest food. Also the floor in our room and the dining hall could have used a good vacuum. I must give a shout out to Lee our driver who was the epitome of smooth!Show moreTrip date: May 2023

- RRobPinal· August 16th, 2022Greg has a great passion for his home which was obvious in the way he conducted our tour. He is very organised and efficient but did so with a laugh and a smile. No question was dismissed and if he didn’t have the answer to hand he would have it in short order.
