A faire ! A must to do!

This tour is definately for people who likes to go off the beaten tracks, by going (with a small group) on places not crowded by tourists. Jamie is a great tour guide, dynamic, a nature lover who showed us with passion the area that he knows perfectly. What we saw was just amazing! To enjoy at maximum, I recommend to be able to speak English thanks again Jamie, our only regret is to not have taken a picture souvenir with you :) Olivier

If you don’t like standard tourist roads if you like something special this trip is great to explore the Highlands. You can trust me as its my third trip to the blessed Highlands and I’m sure it’s not last. We spent day with fantastic guide, smart and kind man Jamie who knows a lot about Scotland. Glen Affric is unique and stunning place with breathtaking views. I’m in love with Plodda Falls and forest. We will keep great memories about this trip and day with Jamie!
