We began planning our trip about a year ago. It was a large group of 20 family members, with many logistical challenges. Marion and Celina did a wonderful job securing our guide, Keith, and driver Rickie. They certainly went above and beyond our expectations. Our photographers, Karen and Mark, also exceeded our expectations with a wonderful professional photo shoot at Castle Cawdor. The pictures were beautiful. I had a very specific itinerary in mind when I contacted KimKim and I know that they worked very hard on our behalf. The trip went along seamlessly, was all we had hoped for and more. It was a wonderful experience for us all! Well done!

This was great fun for a family outing. Our family enjoyed the guides comments as well as a fast ride on Loch Ness.

Quality of Experience
Our entire trip was delightful and I believe gave us all a taste of Scotland.
Guides, Drivers and Staff
Our guide, Keith, was just a great person to travel with. He did well anticipating our needs, was informative, and flexible.
Transport
We loved our driver Rickie. He gave us a comfortable ride, and we felt safe on those narrow winding roads.

This is a beautiful place, but the castle staff are cautious regarding over crowding, so were not able to go into the castle as planned. We did go to a viewing area and were able to get some great photos of the exterior from across the water.

This activity exceeded our expectation. There is a hilly walk to the reindeer which is very scenic in itself. The Reindeer were so beautiful to see up close. We learned about the herd from our guide and were allowed to feed them. The scenery on the hill was beautiful as well.

Our guide gave us a wonderful day on the Isle of Skye considering, it was cold, windy, and rainy, and we were traveling on a tour bus that could not access all the areas.
