We just wanted to say thank you again for taking such great care of us in the Highlands. We must do your Isle of Skye and Mull Tours next time – thanks again!

Thanks for hosting such a wonderful day. The route was spectacular, the choice of the town, hotel and the meal at the pub all great. Your commentary along the way was very interesting and much appreciated.

This Tour was by far the highlight of our Deeside trip. Not only was Mike passionate and knowledgeable about the whole area, the history he shared with us was so detailed and interesting.

Our kids loved the experience too and especially liked the comfy 4×4 vehicle. What a brilliant tour – we will come back and do it again!

Mike, I wanted to share with you that our journey together is still the highlight of our world travel. When we look back on the day we spent with you in the highlands of Scotland it remains one of our most special experiences.

Thank you once again for a really enjoyable Hidden Deeside Tour on Wednesday, it was the highlight of our holiday and even though I have been coming to the region for over 25 years I still discovered new places and heard new stories for which many thanks.

The coolest place I’ve ever been to, the tour was a revelation, this guy’s the business.

Royal Deeside is one of the most beautiful parts of the British Isles, there is nothing like it

A great addition to the North-East’s attractions list

Can’t believe it’s a week since our fantastic day out with you – just wanted to say a huge thank you for such a brilliant day, we both thoroughly enjoyed it !

We loved it, what history, what scenery!

Through Mike’s evocative descriptions and his immense historical knowledge, every stop on this Hidden Deeside tour came to life in vivid detail. Not only was the vehicle clean, the driving steady and the guide a font of information, Mike was accommodating to my last minute requests both in booking this unforgettable journey and in taking a detour to see Dunnottar Castle at Stonehaven. His passion for this beautiful part of the country is infectious, I cannot recommend him enough.

A truly unforgettable experience, this was the highlight of our holiday in Scotland.

Hidden Deeside Tours are a ‘cut above the rest’, I want to come back next year!

Hugely enjoyable.

My wife, niece and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour. You were a unending source of history, humor and great stories. We’d recommend your tours to everyone! We also appreciate your flexibility when we changed our minds and itinerary mid-trip. Thanks for the excellent driving and the hidden highlights such as the hillside churchyard!

We loved the picnic in ‘Queen Victoria’s forest, the scenery was just amazing, what a great secret!

Mike’s stories and history made the past come alive, just magical.

Immensely enjoyable, Mike’s humour included!

A fantastic tour, we loved every minute of it and will be back!

Mike led us on this tour of Deeside with great charm and knowledge, I am sure we heard a whisper from some of those ‘voices on the braes of Mar’…

A lovely day out with a charming host, thank you Mike.

Our guests had the most wonderful day out on Deeside with you. Mike, you are a great brand ambassador for Scotland.

Mike brought the past alive, the kids loved it. They are all Highland warriors now!
