Liam Allan

Liam was all good: interesting stories, botanical lessons all along the way, a hand-picked Scottish playlist for the van, Scottish legends and folklore and expert attention to all. A+

Liam was a great guide. He knew all about the flora and fauna of Glencoe and the Highlands. He was great at telling us folk stories and "fairy tales." His playlist in the van was fantastic. He had a great mixture of music from all over but I especially enjoyed the Scottish music. He's so enthusiastic about the areaf and loves to talk about it. We all really enjoyed him.

We think our guide, Liam Allan, is a special person. Importantly he saw us as individuals, not a group to be herded this way and that. He was always looking ahead to see if anything needed to be changed or adjusted to meet the various needs, abilities and skills of the group members. He took seriously his responsibilities directing the trip smoothly from day to day. He made a real effort to get to know each of us and to share some of his encyclopedic knowledge of Scotland, her history and people. When weather allowed we were feted with stories from folklore and legends at breaks and lunch.

Liam was wonderful. Kind, funny, knowledgeable and a joy to be with.

Excellent doesn’t rate Liam high enough. Knowledgeable, cared about our safety, funny. Great photos. A lovely young man.

Liam was an excellent guide. He was well organised so that each day ran smoothly and could be flexible to deal with changing circumstances (such as boat trips being cancelled owing to high winds) to ensure we could still enjoy good alternative activities. His good humour and interest in people, history and wildlife made him a great member of the group and quickly helped us all relax into easy companionship across the week. Small details, such as his provision of Scottish and Shetland strawberries at the start and end of walks were greatly appreciated!

Liam was an excellent guide and took us to some really lovely places with much to see.

Our trip was guided by Liam. He was excellent and feel we all ended the trip as friends. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he had strong empathy with the group

Liam was amazing!

He was an excellent guide and knowledgable. If he didn't know an answer to a question, he would research the answer and would come back to us. He looked carefully at the weather so for all our walks we didn't really get wet. One day was windy but we avoided that the next day as Liam carefully chose a more sheltered walk.

He had lovely snacks in the back of the van as well as walking sticks/hats etc. He went out of his way to to support us or get anything we needed. He drove the van carefully.

But most of all he was calm, fun, patient and great to be with. He lead the group sensitively and by the end of the week we had all bonded together. It was his leadership that helped that.

Thank you Liam, you really made the holiday that bit special and as I write answers, Neil is already looking at something for next year!

Liam was really knowledgable about all aspects of the trip from the geology to the history to the culture of all that we saw

Our guide was very personable and friendly. He filled us in on much of the history and background. He managed the group very well.

Our guide was Liam. He was excellent. He was friendly and helpful and knowledgeable about the history on our walks. He drove the van carefully and made sure everyone was properly equipped. He was mature beyond his years, with a clear enthusiasm for his work.

Liam was a terrific guide. He was very knowledgeable, very committed and friendly. He kept the group on track and moving smoothly from one point to the next. He was very reassuring during slick weather conditions in higher elevations. And he was great in running forward to get the van when we walkers were tired and drinking tea.

Liam Allan, so sweet and mature beyond his years. Careing and smart. A real gem.

Liam Allan (sp?) was our guide and I thought he was outstanding. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Scottish history, geography and folklore. We loved his stories. I can't say enough about how impressed I was. He was also very patient and easy going. i can't imagine how much we would have missed on a self guided tour.

Liam was great, always happy and patient with all of us. Very knowledgeable and had great stories.

Our guide was sensitive and thoughtful - a lover of his country.

Liam was clearly aware of all of us all the time, but he presented as casual about things such as stopping places, being at the head of the line, rate etc.

Liam the best in all ways. Went the extra mile

very relaxed. kept us updated about potential safety issues or difficult sections of the hike
