Andy Stotesbury

Andy was wonderful. His knowledge enhanced the experience and his attention to detail made one feel relaxed and able to enjoy the experience as Andy was taking care of the rest.

As mentioned before, Andy was stellar. His knowledge of the geography of the area was very good, and he seemed genuinely interested in the history of the area.

His demeanour was always pleasant (even when he must have been fatigued with long days), he encouraged us by setting a good pace, without putting pressure on any of us in the group.

If I could ask for one thing, it would be for the guide to have a thorough knowledge of the history and "goings on" of each area. This might be unrealistic, in that guides lead trips in many areas and it's impossible to be an expert about every area.

I would recommend Andy as a guide wholeheartedly!

Andy was a wonderful guide. He was personable and very good natured. Andy has an easy going manner I always felt safe driving and hiking with Andy!

Will Snow was phenomenal, especially considering he had only one day to prepare after the scheduled guide was unable to take the trip. I would take another trip knowing he was the guide.

The walks met my expectations and deepened my appreciation of Scotland. Will was very helpful and friendly. He has a good sense of direction.

Will was so engaging. He was so aware of the wants/needs of his guests. He went above all expectations to make sure we had an amazing trip including finding swimming holes to dip into. He was so friendly and the group blended so well together with him as our leader. His knowledge of flora and funa was very good. He also could give us history information. All this made the trip way more engaging than hiking only.
We did not spend enough time with Andy for me to give feedback.

Efficient and knowledgeable

Andy was drafted in at short notice due to the original guide’s illness. He looked after us very well and was extremely patient although we walked at a slower pace than he was used to (I was recovering from a broken ankle).

Some of the trails and paths seem to have been not well thought out. They were tedious and trying.

Andy was a very knowledgable, helpful and pleasant guide.

Andy did an excellent job taking care of us. His job is challenging when the hiking ability of the group varies but he handled it well. Some of us had to push ourselves rather hard, (we expected this would be the case) to keep up but we were blessed with terrific weather and it was all worth it.

Andy did a great job managing some slightly varying agendas: tactful, efficient -- a gifted cat-herder!

Our guide, Andy, was a good driver, friendly, knowledgeable about the sites and patient. He led the walks well and was mindful of the ages of some of us, making sure we could cope with the terrain and not walking too fast.

Andy was a genial and relaxed guide. He has a difficult job in having to please all the people all the time and was able to do it with a smile on his face!

Diligent, safe and relaxed.

Can’t say enough good things about Andy. On time, knowledgeable, personable. Great guide!

Arrin and Andy were excellent guides. They were both very encouraging on some of the steeper climbs on the Wee Mad Road and elsewhere. On the one 25% grade that my husband and I just could not deal with at the end of the Wee Mad Road, Andy called ahead and Arrin gave us a ride up that part of the road.

Andy and Arran were excellent, helpful, knowledgeable and supportive, they could not have done more and their efforts and friendliness made the trip for me.

Our tour was self-guided, but honestly it felt like fully guided with Andy’s care. I didn’t realize he would be with us the entire trip and guide us every step of the way. He was organized, kind, friendly, and knowledgeable about the area. The GPS units were great too.

Andy took all our requests on board and provided excellent support throughout our adventure while giving us the space to enjoy every aspect
