Paul,
Sorry to take so long to respond...I had an
absolute brilliant time with ya'll in Scotland!
I really did not want to do the City tour
and I begged VisitScotland to let me do the
Shetlands tour which they refused...so much
the better for me, otherwise I would have never
met you, Colin and Liz. You made Glasgow fun!
I actually want to go back to Glasgow something
I never thought I wanted to do before. If those
four days are an example of how you conduct
business, I have every confidence in you and
your company. Slainte!
Janis
Paul, Wow! What a great note to receive upon
arrival home. I can't tell you, Liz and Colin
what a wonderful time I had with mclean
scotland.
Colin was a wonderful tour guide - so knowledgeable,
informative, witty and kind. Just wish we could
have spent more time with Liz, but understand
her responsibilities, too. The night out in
Glasgow was delightful! I will definitely keep
your company in mind when thinking about tours
in Scotland. Several of us seemed to reach that
agreement while we took a few minutes to rehash
the trip. Please keep in touch. Best regards,
Sharon |
Dear Paul and Liz
I wanted to thank you first for a great four
days of excellent guidance from the time we
arrived in Edinburgh until we departed at the
Ardoe House in Aberdeen - along with the great
"animation" from Colin and the company of Liz.
With Alex (visitscotland) being added to the
group, it was great to see such an energetic
young man doing such a great job! Again, thank
you for your direction and education while in
Scotland. Hope to hear from you.
Dave
Hi Paul, I had a wonderful time in Scotland
with you and Colin, a good guide and a well
run tour company make all of the difference
in the world. I was very impressed with your
professionalism as well as you humor and your
ability to guide us to the best pubs around.
But seriously, I will be looking to put together
a group most likely 2006 or 07. Please know
you are at the top of my list. My best to you
and Liz. Say hi to Colin for me too!

We worked with visitscotland again to facilitate
one of the SCOTS agent FAM trips.
We were very happy to be once again (for the second year
running), looking after new agents for a tour designed
by visitscotland for familiarisation to our country.
Our coach and guide were with the agents throughout
their trip – which resulted in many new
friends and much tourism business returning to Scotland
. The
tour we were facilitating was: “The
City Experience”.
 
THE
TOUR INCLUDES EDINBURGH, GLASGOW, DUNDEE AND
ABERDEEN

April
2004. This tour was to familiarise agents
with all the very best Scotland has to
offer, we were proud working
with visitscotland and gave the agents
a tour to remember! |
