If you want a way to explore Scotland on a deeper level, to experience places and connect to people off the beaten track, you’ve found it. I’ve lived and worked in some of Scotland’s most dramatic scenery, so I know where to find this beautiful country’s most authentic version of itself.
I offer full-day and half-day driver-guided tours of the East Neuk and North-East Fife for 1-3 people. I also create customised multi-day itineraries and I can do bespoke driver-guided tours up to 5 days.
An adventure awaits…
