Where to start? After a year of planning our itinerary with Nick of Aura Journeys, we put it into play with 8 days of touring with William. William is professional, but he knows how to have fun with you after he sizes you up. His humor was like spending a week with your best friend from college. Subtle, but pointed, we traded barbs and laughed away the week. No worries about spending a week with a stranger when your guide is William! His knowledge of the area was deep but if he didn't have an answer to your question, he'd look it up and have it for you quickly. He soon got to know what we liked and what we didn't, from meal times and toilet stops, to type of food and sightseeing preferences. We had daily itineraries but we would often adjust based on our own energy level or suggestions from William. Nothing was ever a problem for William. We went to several places William had never been to and he thanked US for taking him there. We ended as good friends and hated to leave him at the end of our journey. Highlights: * Always arrived early with a clean van and lots of water * Very safe driver * Served as photographer when asked - we finally have trip pictures with both of us * Flexible and accommodating * Knowledgeable - great suggestions for restaurants, activities, places to visit and places to skip * He did all the work and let us be tourists rather than trying to drive and read guidebooks while we flew past sights. Worth every penny on this 50th wedding anniversary trip

Andrew's 5 day private tour of the Isle of Skye was a stunning experience for us. The tour was meticulously planned by Andrew who spun some amazing Scottish tales for each of the locations we visited. The spots were very well chosen with breathtaking views and beautiful landscapes. Andrew's local knowledge of the island was handy in choosing hidden gems tucked away from the usual tourist circuit. He had alternative locations to see when weather played spoilsport. The trip was extremely comfortable in his Land Lover with some great Scottish music and immaculate dinner recommendations for food. Would highly recommend the tour to anyone looking for a relaxing break to Scotland. Definitely believe you would be in great company!!

We were a group of twelve friends who had a fantastic trip to Scotland one year ago (May 2019). In this time of staying close to home, it makes the memories of our trip to Scotland even more special. Avril made our week in the Highlands so relaxing. She filled all our transportation needs, from our arrival at the train station in Inverness, shopping for groceries and taking us to very different locations and experiences that made our vacation extra wonderful. She picked us up at our farmhouse location for our tours and even recommended a chef couple who prepared a top notch Scottish 5 course meal at our residence one evening. She knows all the good photo stops. 5 Stars. We toured the three “Ds” on our last cold wet windy day together. Great suggestion for the weather. Also toured part of Skye and Ben Nevis, Fort William and Loch Shiel. Lynne and Mike
