kind words from our clients
"Mother/Daughter Trip of a Lifetime!My daughter and I went on an Outlander Immersion Tour with Kathie as our travel specialist. We couldn’t be more happy with our time in Scotland. Everything’s was well planned, we didn’t feel rushed, and Kathie was a phone call or email away if needed. I would happily used Kathie’s services again in the future."
