| Dear Shannon, Many thanks for a fantastic holiday - I can't think of a single thing that you could have done to make it better. The good weather continued for the rest of our stay right up until the last day of our visit to Oxford and by that time we had done all of the outdoor things so it didn't matter. Being home has been a real challenge. I have too much to do but I have made a resolution that next year I'll be spending more time relaxing. I have attached a photo but you probably have received a similar one from one of the others that is almost certainly better than mine. Hope all is going well for you. My best wishes to you and Mario and we'll meet again next year. Regards, Jan Lyall( in red jumper) Hi Shannon & Mario Chris and I send our best! After short reflection, our experience on tour was nothing short of fabulous! Chris has a particularly fine picture of the two of you at the Breaghmore Stones. At your suggestion we toured the Cotswolds one day out of London. The day trip showed us bus tours of ANYTHING are astronomically inferior to what we had so recently become accustomed to! We are talking up SDT to anyone who will listen and sincerely hope to see you again (future tour?!). Please know that you are free to use us as reference. Alan & Chris Jones |

We truly believe there is no better way to see these lands than on
a small group tour that allows for a slower pace and time to enjoy
the scenery, lovely villages and the people who inhabit them. All
of our tours are designed for small groups in order to take
advantage of accommodations, eateries and sights that would not
be available to larger groups. You may find yourself staying in a
lovely city guest house, small country house hotel, 200 year old
coaching Inn and a secluded farmhouse all in the same visit! You
will find yourself dining in unique tearooms, pubs, old coaching
inns, seaside restaurants, Highland Dinners and Shows or a
Medieval Castle Banquet as part of your culinary experience.

For me there is no place on earth more beautiful than Scotland.
From the Borders to the Highlands there is an abundance of
breathtaking sights round every corner! Spectacular castles,
beautiful lochs and the warmest, friendliest people on earth.
From William Wallace, King Robert the Bruce and Mary Queen
of Scots to Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott and Rob Roy
McGregor the history and romance is beyond compare! The
home of golf, shortbread, Arbroath Smokies, Finnan Haddie,
Whisky, Scones, Tartan, Kilts and Ewan McGregor! From coast
to coast and the Highlands to the Borders there is nothing to
compare to the history and beauty of Scotland!

There is no greener place on earth and each time I return to
Ireland my love for the country grows. The Emerald Isle
affords some of the most spectacular scenery anywhere.
Walking, hiking, horseback riding, golf and water sports are
offered in abundance to satisfy any enthusiast. From the Giants
Causeway in the north to The Cliffs of Moher and the Ring of
Kerry to Waterford it is a land of enchantment! Ireland offers
some of the most unique accommodation choices and a pub
culture with traditional music nights that are second to none.

If I could not live in Scotland, Wales would be a very close
second. Unrivaled hospitality, breathtaking countryside,
spectacular coastline and an amazing array of castles! More
castles per square mile than any other country in Europe. What
more could one ask? From Snowdonia to The Breacon Beacons
and from Cardiff to Pembroke it is a magical land of beautiful
beaches, spectacular peaks and lovely glens! Stay in 400 year
old farmhouses, dine in 600 year old pubs and partake of
wonderful castle medieval nights. Every trip to Wales amazes
me with the history and unspoilt countryside from Anglesey in
North Wales to the Pembrokeshire Coast in the South.

| Shannon and Mario, I just wanted to thank you again for such a wonderful trip. It was way beyond amazing! I can't get over the change in my Mom from when we arrived in Edinburgh til now! The trip was a real eye opener to her that there is more to life than just working and getting through each day. Since we've gotten home all she's talked about was how great the trip was and she can't wait to go on another one with you two. She's actually already thinking about getting a group of 6 or 8 of us together and having you two plan and guide us on another tour! So be forewarned!!!! Meghann Agnew - Canada Shannon, Mario, Kathy and Meghann Dear Shannon, Tami and I want to thank you for a wonderful trip! It exceeded our expectations greatly. You and Mario provided an experience that will not be forgotten. We look forward to more adventures with you in the future. Truly sincerely, Eb and Tami |
| Shannon and Mario, This was indeed a fabulous trip in so many ways. Not only was I in awe of the breathtaking scenery and the fact of just being there where so much history of my ancestors took place, the itinerary was fantastic, the accommodations lovely, but the added pleasure of having the company of such a delightful tour group made the journey that much better. I know making this all happen is a monumental task, and it is evident that both of you are talented and most dedicated to the task. My sincere thanks for all that you did to make this 14 days of memories I will treasure always. No doubt that I will be back for another adventure! Sincerely, Marsha Elliott Hello Shannon and Mario, This is a very belated note to thank you for the well planned trip in Scotland. I recently went on a bus trip to New England and again I realized how much nicer our small group tour was. I don't think Bob could have handled any other kind of tour. You were so kind and considerate to everyone, particularly Bob. We have lots of pictures and we often speak of both of you and the things we saw and did. Julia Orr |
