Our trip to Scotland was a great experience. With the assistance of Stephen, we were able to see all parts of the Scottish highlands , hiking many beautiful trails hiking over 113 miles, having wonderful meals, and first class accommodations each night. In particular I want to mention the Geographer restaurant in Ft William which was the best meal of the week, and Mahmoud in Liverpool at The Hard Day's Night Hotel for his exceptional service. The airport shuttles were excellent, the car rental was excellent, really everything went as planned and we had a wonderful trip. I will certainly be looking to use KimKim again if/when I plan my next trip to Scotland or other locations they service. Thanks Stephen for all you assistance in making this a trip to remember for a lifetime.

Nice hotel, but nothing special and didn't have a lift, so luggage was an issue and finding their parking lot was a little tricky. Television remote didn't work and staff was of no assistance.

Fun short cruise. The crew and narrator was wonderful, but the cruise was so short it really didn't get great views of the Loch. It was fun, but nothing special.
