Fixed Price for up to five passengers and if you book then you will be getting me, Andrew as your tour guide. I have several years experience both as a walking tour guide and as a driving tour guide. I like things to be fun, interesting and flexible. Because I use a car and not a small bus then the tours can be dynamic and personalised easily. I can go down a few roads that the tour buses cannot go and park in a few places the tour buses cannot park. As far as possible I steer clear of the hoards of other tourists. I like to have fun. My head is jam packed full of stories and every time I learn something new that makes my jaw drop then I just cant wait to tell folk about it. I love questions. Ask me anything you like but as far as possible please just ask Scotland questions. I don't do relationship questions without the risk of potentially terrible answers. Ask at your own risk. I'm happy if my lovely visitors are happy. I'll do my very best for you.
