Amanda Shepherd

We had the good fortune to have the guiding 'dream team' in Amanda & Jono! They really were first class, very sensitive to the group dynamic and gently helping us all make the right choices to keep us all happy. A great skill which meant we all relaxed and got what we hoped to from the trip.

They were both excellent guides on the trails, providing us with loads of information on the landscape we were passing through, and also providing plenty of technical guidance to help conquer the trails and improve riding skills.

Both were fantastic fun too! Evening chat was always full of stories and laughter!

I have been on several adventure trips with other companies and I have to say that Amanda & Jono were 5 star guides. They payed attention to our individual needs and balanced it together for a wonderful trip. They both shared personal stories, history and I felt I knew so much more about Scotland than I ever expected. I also appreciated them working with me (I had hurt my knee and was limited) but they made sure I was comfortable and still enjoyed myself the entire time. I just can't say enough about these two as a team. They are truly wonderful people and perfect guides.

I can't say enough good things about Jono and Amanda. I really, really enjoyed the way they put it all together to create a fantastic trip. I would ride with either one of them again in a heartbeat. They're very good at accommodating different levels of rider abilities.

Jonno and Amanda were helpful knowledgeable and efficient; an asset to your company.

Johno and Amanda really made the trip enjoyable. They made everyone in the group no matter the skill level included in the trip. Knowledge of area traveled was excellent, could tell they had done planning for trip before hand. Both taught me new skills and help developed my mountain biking skills over the trip. Planned to do a lot more biking after the trip. And hopefully will be back with wilderness Scotland to do the isle of Harris/Lewis biking trip in a year or two.

Guided by Jono and Amanda- couldn’t rate them mire highly. We’re already talking about another trip in a few years time, we hope to get them as guides then! They were great company as well as great guides. They were a real highlight of the trip, and catered to all of our varying levels. Nothing was too much for them- they were spot on.

They were friendly, patience and had a great experience.

Both Stuart and Amanda were excellent: smiling, caring, understanding, with stories to tell. Great Choice !

Stuart for kayaking was excellent. very knowledgeable instructor and build good rapport with kids. Amanda was outstanding. She led us cycling and geocaching. the kids LOVED her - she was engaging, knowledgeable and prepared. The two days with her were the family favourites.

The guides were really fantastic. Great with our daughter, attentive, and fun to talk to.

(see previous comment about Amanda.) Stewart, who ran our kayaking trip on the first day, was also excellent.
