A Perfect Day! - Found Jamie and Secret Highlands on Google. Sent an email asking about a tour with hiking for a group of six. Jamie responded with a perfect itinerary. His Mercedes van was comfortable. The scenery was outstanding. By driving past the tourist spots and traveling into the woods you truly see the Highlands. We hiked in two areas, both scenic but different. Jamie was a wealth of information regarding the history of the area. We even had time for lunch at an excellent cafe and a brief Whiskey tasting.

Jamie was our host to the Loch Ness area and from Inverness to St Andrews and Edinburgh. He was an excellent guide. - Our tour of the Loch Ness area included a short cruise, castles, great friendly dining along the way, and fun stories of history and folklore. Jamie took us off course on our way to Edinburgh to see St Andrews Course. He was accommodating and fun.

Passion for Scotland Comes to Life! - Five out of five stars for Jaime Conner and his amazing tours! Jaime's genuine passion for Scotland shines through his captivating storytelling and extensive knowledge of history. Even the toughest critics, a 15-year-old girl and a 12-year-old, were thoroughly impressed! We packed two full days with unforgettable adventures, exploring Loch Ness, the Falls, and the breathtaking Isle of Skye. Bravo, Jaime, for making our trip truly extraordinary!

The perfect tour - 10 stars. Amazing experience from start to finish. Jamie was our guide and he was incredibly friendly and delighted us with history and folk lore throughout the trip. The day was flexible and Jamie made it clear anything we wanted to stop and take photos off or ask about, just shout. He has a passion for the history and a reverence for the Scottish highlands that this beautiful landscape so clearly deserves. He made every stop feel magical and made this foreign (to us) landcsape feel approachable which made it so much more special. He also takes great pictures of you/your group!!

We were 4 friends who came all the way over from colombia and he was very willing to help us all the way.

Unforgettable and Spontaneous Adventures: Exploring Scotland's Hidden Gems - Our adventure in Inverness, Scotland, led by our amazing guide Jamie, was truly unforgettable! Jamie's spontaneity made the journey extra special with delightful diversions, including a visit to our ancestor’s castle, an up-close encounter with charming highland cattle, a unique one-hole round of golf experience, and even a refreshing swim in the legendary Loch Ness. Jamie's thoughtfulness shone through as he kindly purchased fresh berries for us to taste. Thank you Jamie for so passionately sharing your beautiful country with us. Until we meet again!

Experience of a lifetime - This was a wonderful experience! We had a special request to visit Tomich and the Guisachan estate. Jamie is very knowledgeable about the area and provided us with a truly extraordinary experience. His passion for the area, preservation of natural resources, and respect for the locals are evident in all his interactions. I highly recommend booking with Jamie and will do so again if I am ever lucky enough to be able to visit the Scottish Highlands again.

Don’t think- just go! - Best trip ever! Jamie was our guide and he showed us places that we wouldn’t have gone if it wasn’t for him.

So grateful for our trip- thank you so much, see you next time!:))
