Marion Passelegue

Hi there! My name is Marion and I am very glad to be helping you out! I know the joy and excitement when a travel 'project' is all coming together and I know the sense of pride and achievement when going past your limits and out of your comfort zone. Sometimes, all you need is a helping hand to put it all together, and we are here for that.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"Active traveler myself, I am specialised in outdoor holiday, most precisely hiking holidays. I'm always happy to include some fun activities to your holidays in France or United Kingdom !"

How did you get involved in travel?

"I have been very fortunate to grow up in family who treats travel as a great form of education. Since I was 7, my parents have taken us to a different country every year - discovering cities, landscapes, cultures, foods, and much more. As soon as I was old enough, the urge to discover even more encouraged me to travel by myself. Volunteering in Costa Rica, studying in the United States, working as a shepherd in Patagonia, or simply visiting, I see every occasion as an opportunity to discover more about the world."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"There are so many great stories I could tell! But I must say that spending a month in the small town of Gardenstown, in Scotland, is one of my favorites. Fascinated by nature and mountains, Scotland filled my curiosity to the roof! To be honest, I don't really like to drive but who could resist the highland roads for a scenic drive? Scotland offered me the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen and the most delicious freshly caught lobster I have ever eaten to this day. "

Located right on the water, and in the heart of everything you could want to do and see in Portree.

The morning breakfast manager was amazing, but the rest of the staff was short and definitely overworked. Their tiredness made you feel as if you were troubling them to give your food order, or mention something that needed to be cleaned in your room that was missed by the cleaning crew.

Bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean, just tired fixtures, etc. The flooring could use updating as well.

Our family trip to Scotland was a complex undertaking, as we were a large group of 20 people of varying ages.

Our driver, Ricky, and guide Keith took care of so many details behind the scenes, and delivered an exceptional experience.. The hotels and restaurants chosen were all beyond our expectations. We did so very many things that were enjoyed by all. The Reindeer Herd excursion was one of my favorites. The scenery on the hill was spectacular. We also very much enjoyed the Family Highland Games at Rothiemurchus Estate, even in the pouring rain we managed to have great fun together. We had two very unique and special requests that went off without a hitch. The first was a professional photoshoot in front of Cawdor Castle. Karen Thorburn went above and beyond to provide us all with wonderful professional portraits. And also, we were grateful for the special effort made by our guide Keith, to visit the house in which my husband was born, and for us all to snap a photo at the door. Thank you for all you did to manage this trip for us. You will be highly recommended.

We got to go all over Scotland for nearly two weeks with Marion's help. We saw some very beautiful areas and toured a lot of castles and whisky distilleries. My husband and I had a great time and all of our scheduled events and hotel bookings went through as planned. We never to reach out to the agency for any booking issues.

I would have appreciated perhaps a bit more communication - our dinner reservation with Three Chimneys had apparently been overbooked and they said they had sent an email about it to us, but it wasn't our email on their contact so we arrived at the restaurant expecting the kitchen tasting menu, but we had the normal four course dinner instead. This wasn't a big inconvenience or anything, but it did result in some confusion. We also did not receive any emails from the hotels regarding restaurant times. Redwood Hotel on Skye was not open every evening for dinner and because it is such a difficult drive to get to the hotel, I had hoped not to go out again that day. When I asked the receptionist about it, he said that that information should have been given to me in an email, which we did not receive.

Those were our biggest issues. And perhaps we might have appreciated another night in Edinburgh instead of the two initial nights as we were too tired to do anything the day we came in and we had to leave immediately after the first full day to go to Stirling Castle, which was a little out of the way since we ended up going back there towards the end of the trip.

My biggest tip for anyone booking in the future is to really look at the hotels and locations on Google Maps and see if you feel comfortable driving on Scotland's roads (they can be narrow or only have one lane with lots of sheep and potholes). We saw so many train stations and buses while we were traveling, and I wish we had used public transportation to avoid the stress of driving.

Overall, it was the trip of a lifetime and I'm so glad that I had Marion's help to plan this trip. She's very responsive and easy to work with and the KIm KIm interface is very intuitive and I really appreciated having all of our trip information in one place.
