Dan Parker

Dan Parker is an excellent guide. He made the trip fun and he was also knowledgeable about the areas we cycled with respect to history and current events. He made our trip enjoyable and memorable. Loved the Callanish Stones photos - thank you Dan!
Sam is also an excellent guide, as driver and organizer of bikes, snacks, etc. He made the trip fun and he was also very knowledgeable about the history and politics of Scotland. Still humming the tune "Belter" by Gerry Cinnamon - thanks Sam!

Dan and Sam were delightful and very helpful and supportive. Great team. They were also very knowledgeable and able to talk about the OH and the culture.

Dan and Sam went above and beyond to sort out experiences beyond the cycling such as visits to the Harris Weavers and Mill and time to swim at Luskentyre. We could see them constantly working in the background to ensure everything worked to plan.

Simon and Dan provided just the right level of guidance. We were free to cycle at our own pace, stopping to admire the views or to take photos, knowing that we would regroup at coffee and lunch stops.
When our planned coffee stop was unexpectedly closed Simon quickly arranged a splendid replacement where a tray of delicious cakes and hot drinks were provided along with towels to dry off after the only rain shower of the holiday.

Tour leader Dan was knowledgeable and helpful with all aspects. Nice guy who worked hard to make this trip work. Good cyclist too - cared about our safety

Dan and Tom were great. They listened to us and matched the rides to our abilities. They were friendly and supportive. They were great company as well. Dan is very knowledgeable about the route and the different stages. I learned a lot about STP from him :-)
Tom is a great couch on the bike. Gave me great advice for future riding. Thank you guys!

Dan (Bear) was the best!!! We’d hire him again. Great!!!!

They went above and beyond to secure an e-bike for me on Islay.

Dan and Sam were great. Lots of fun and very knowledgeable about the landscape around us.

Competant and friendly guides, who made the trip a great experience.

The garmin's should be strongly recommended. They were offered if we wanted them but they were important as the group did not stay together. If a guide isn't there a garmin should be with the biker.

They were great. Even though they had not worked together previously there was a "team" attitude. They also had very different personalities, backgrounds, and interests, and that added to the breath of the group experience.

Despite them having not visited the trip destinations before, they got everything right, showed great attention to detail and coped admirably well with a group whose cycling experience / abilities were very wide ranging

Very impressed with both guides. They went the extra mile to make sure that all the guests were comfortable and catered for. As per other trips, they were fed a curved-ball in terms of guest mix of abilities - but they managed this well. Both Dan and Andy were thoughtful, well-organised, chatty and caring. Can't fault.

Dan was wonderful. He was so patient with me as I still have some cycling fears..wonderful young man.

Both guides are attentive, encouraging, helpful and went beyond to keep everyone happy and enjoying the trip

Guides were great just seemed stressed by logistics of the ferries and the need to find alternate transportation

They were very eager to meet the needs of each of the guests. They were great at adjusting to unexpected events that arose during the rides. But the logistics of the ferries and the fact that the van did not accommodate everybody seemed to be a stressor
Overall I would be very happy to be on another trip guided by either Dan or Sam or both. They were knowledgeable and made the trip fun

They were very nice and professional and helpfull.

Really good teaching

Dan and Neil were both great guides; calm, friendly, patient and supportive, and clearly had great expertise and teaching skills. They planned ahead and managed unforeseen circumstances effectively.
