Five out of five stars for Jaime Conner and his amazing tours! Jaime's genuine passion for Scotland shines through his captivating storytelling and extensive knowledge of history. Even the toughest critics, a 15-year-old girl and a 12-year-old, were thoroughly impressed!
We packed two full days with unforgettable adventures, exploring Loch Ness, the Falls, and the breathtaking Isle of Skye. Bravo, Jaime, for making our trip truly extraordinary!

10 stars. Amazing experience from start to finish. Jamie was our guide and he was incredibly friendly and delighted us with history and folk lore throughout the trip. The day was flexible and Jamie made it clear anything we wanted to stop and take photos off or ask about, just shout. He has a passion for the history and a reverence for the Scottish highlands that this beautiful landscape so clearly deserves.
He made every stop feel magical and made this foreign (to us) landcsape feel approachable which made it so much more special.
He also takes great pictures of you/your group!!
