Virginia, USA October 2008

Bill was AMAZING. Any person who can make me laugh at 9 in the morning is good! He was really great - funny, informative and flexible when we got a little off schedule and lunch took a little too long. (I have been on tours where the guide gets hysterical and treats everyone like two year olds!) Bill was GREAT. I can't tell you the number of good comments I heard from my family and friends about the tour in general and about Bill specifically.

Bill made our day truly memorable, through his deep involvement into every aspect of the tour, while taking care of the passengers. His story telling ability, (amazing! history comes alive), his love for ecology with vivid description of landscape surrounding us ( beautiful lochs & hills, cascading waterfalls) together with sunshine & highland drizzles, helped us to enjoy Scotlands natural beauty at it's bestI have taken several sight seeing tours & have seen many a tour guides both in India, Europe & USA, but none can match Bill's calibre.

Christine MacFarlane, Canada, March 2008

Bill made everyone instantly feel at home. the stories told us during our travels were not only accurate in detail, but reflected the true beauty of Scotland's history and landscape. Bill even managed to impress our teenage daughters - and that is saying a lot!
Our tours were the highlight of our weeks in Scotland and I will gladly recommend you to our family and friends who may have the pleasure of a visit. See you on our next trip to Scotland!

I had no idea I would learn so much history, as well as tidbits about the countryside. I raved about your tour at the hotel we stayed at in Edinburgh, and I can't wait to come back and take another of your tours. And Bill, you were right about that Stone of Destiny!

Kiera Murray, Feb 2008

I dont think we could have had a better guide. He was an absolute pleasure. Anything that was asked of him he knew details of and make every moment of the trip enjoyable. The sights we saw were made even more interesting by Bills stories and commentary and quick humour. I would just like if you could send a BIG thank you to Bill for making such a trip so memorable. It really made out holiday.
Big love to Bill Kiera and Ray, from Dublin, Ireland

Tim Edison, Jan 2008

It was an extraordinary experience! We were blown away by Bill, our driver. With his story telling ability and his scientific knowledge, it was like going to the theatre with a constantly moving scenery. An amazing tour guide and I have told EVERYONE back here in the States to request him when they go to Scotland.

Bill was a great tour guide, upbeat, informative, and fun!
Thanks

Tom and Toni McCarthy - Wilmington, Delaware, USA - April 2007

Bill's humor, his knowledge of history and ecology, his fantastic storytelling abilities, and most of all his genuine passion for the land and people of Scotland made the tour the highlight of our holiday.
We will absolutely recommend your tour company to our friends, with the hopes that they also would find such a fantastic guide to enthusiastically introduce them to Scotland.
Warm regards

Susan & Steve from New York July 2006

The best tour we have ever had anywhere. And that is due to Bill; he made every moment of the tour both educational and highly enjoyable. His wealth of knowledge--of geology, history, music etc.etc.--and his general love of and enthusiasm for all things Scottish (even haggis!) made this day one of the very best of our vacation. Thanks so much, Bill.

Bob and Polly Wilson Longwood, FL. June 2006

Bills passion for what he does and his ability to do it well made it a wonderful trip. He is the best story teller and really involved us all in the history.

Cathy, July 2007

This was a very family friendly tour! Our guide, Bill was wonderful! He is a fantastic storyteller, knowledgeable, and we loved his passion when he spoke of Scotland!

Joy Brewster, East Midlands, October 2007

the best storyteller I have ever heard! He has such a passion for Scotland and its people which he brilliantly shares with everyone. We were hanging on his every word!

About Us/Comments

After 5 years guiding tours around Scotland , the time was right to establish Real Scottish Journeys. Previously, I have worked in environmental education and ecology. I have always had burning interest in Scottish history and enjoy sharing this with visitors from around the world. Drawing on all these experiences, we aim to always offer our customers the very best of personal service at all times.

I do most of the guiding on our tours myself, but from time to time other highly experienced guides may lead your tour. My wife, Corinne, handles bookings and enquiries. She works hard behind the scenes to keep everything simple, fair, fun and efficient. So that you can enjoy your holiday in Scotland to the full.

We minimise our overheads so we can offer real value for money. We try to work with as many local businesses as possible, helping the local economy in the communities that we visit. We try to minimise waste and think carefully about the production and need for promotional material.
