Scott McCabe

We have had Scott as our guide on previous trips and find him exceptionally good. He was joined on this trip by Arran, who also was a great guide and accommodated our idiosyncrasies.

Scott and Arran were friendly, flexible, supportive and very very patient. They made the trip a success. Especially as the Scottish weather did its worse! We could just relax and cycle. Listening to their experiences and their sharing of their knowledge of Scottish history was one of trips pleasures.

Scott and Arran were simply brilliant. Always there with support, open to suggestions and good fun to have around

Scott is wonderful. Totally recommend him. And hope to do another trip with him!

They were awesome guides

Our guides, Scott and Simon, were exceptional. They anticipated our every need. They took great care to make sure we understood the daily routes, what challenges we might face, that we were safely crossing busy roadways when encountered and being sympathetic to our needs and fears.
Simon and Scott were great companions during the rides and at breakfast, lunch and dinner, sharing their profound knowledge of the countryside, the villages and history of Scotland.

Simon and Scott were the best! We love them both and hope to go on another trip with them.

Simon and Scott were amazing and we hope to do another trip with them.

Guides were great. Knowledgeable, considerate and fun.

Scott and Neil excelled as our gudes. Nothing was too much and they were very flexible and supportive

We have been guided by Scott before and as before he was really fantastic. This year Scott was joined by Neil who also was amazing. It can't be easy handling our group of 8 women scientists with quite an age range- I am 78- but they really were a terrific duo, we could not have wished for better.

Scott was excellent. Exceptional empathy, getting all the currents and non-said and making the best of it. He made sure everyone of us would get what they were looking for in all the important and nice-to-have aspects of the trip.

Well done Scotty & Andy you managed all issues extremely well and kept the bonhomie with & within the total group going beautifully.

Scott is a wonderful guide! He managed to be accommodating and organized, inquisitive and knowledgeable, and flexible and purposeful - all at the same time. And with a great sense of humor to boot! He was a great guide.

Thank the guides for staying with me in hard climbs, but also chasing down those zippy e-bikers when they went astray.

Both Scot and Andy did a wonderful jog. Both really knowledgeable and helpful.

Both guides Scot and Andy were excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they were cheerful at all times.

Scott Mccabe guided us through the 7 days Glencoe Highlands. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. He was attentive, kind , warm , putting everyone at ease. Itineraries were executed seamlessly. From daily walks and through mealtime conversations, Scott made everything comfortable and fun. We truly loved our trip !

We had a fantastic pair of guides, Scott and Ben. They were a great team, had great senses of humour coupled with knowledge and interest in the areas we travelled through while additionally catering for us throughout our days of cycling.

Scott and Ben were so supportive and friendly- Nothing was ever too much bother and their instincts about when we would need a coffee stop were spot on !! The bikes were immaculate always and Bens ability to play music with my bike brakes was impressive (my own bike's brake which got wet on a ferry crossing!).
The encouragement on our rainy day on Harris was especially needed. It is just great knowing they are there!

Scott was the best!!

Scott was wonderful. Excellent selection of trails and beautiful scenery. He was also highly knowledgeable (and very patient) with all of our questions on Scottish history and nature.

Scott was knowledgeable about the area, ensured we were fed and comfortable!

Scott was wonderful! Knowledgeable, attentive, and responsive, with a healthy dose of good humor!

Scott McCabe was fantastic and knowledgeable, and was super flexible with any needs or changes that we made. We felt smarter every day we were with him.

Scot made the trip, everything was well organised and we appreciated his knowledge, patience and support.

Very Knowledgeable Guide.
We learned loads, pitched perfectly

Scott and Will were outstanding guides. They extremely attentive to all of our needs no matter what and were extraordinarily friendly throughout the trip. They were very well organized and worked very hard to make our tour experience a high quality, memorable event.

I cannot speak too highly of our guides who, as mentioned previously, went the extra mile literally and metaphorically to support our group of 7, most of whom were unfamiliar with British roads.
They were always there to negotiate crossing of major (fast) routes and/or potentially confusing road junctions as well as providing frequent welcome 'tea breaks'.
This support provided a sensation of security and of not being 'left out of sight' if separated from the pack for any reason.

Scott and Will were beyond helpful and approached perfection. Those in our party who have been on many bike trips said they were the best they ever had. They really took great care of us.

Very friendly, knowledgable and helpful.

Dan and Scott were absolutely outstanding-could not fault a thing. Be it questions on history, geography, culture, horticulture or biology, there were no questions they could not answer

Scott and Dan were both excellent guides. They were very knowledgeable of the area, it's history and of the wildlife.

The briefings each evening on the next day's ride were clear and informative. For me, it was helpful to have a paper outline of the next day's ride and in particular to be forewarned of where the big hills were.

Scott and Dan worked together really smoothly and one or other was always waiting at key junctions to stop me going the wrong way, or at the bottom of a particularly steep hill to offer a lift.

Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for them and they were keen to accomodate, where possible, everyone's requirements.

Both Scott and Dan seemed experienced and knowledgeable guides. Very friendly and helpful too and they also provided very tasty picnics.

Scott was well organized, thoughtful and very good company. He did his very best to give us the best experience we could have.

Adapted to the weather, added in Canna. Scott was knowledgeable, observant, interested and interesting, adaptable, sharing, great at group dynamics, added so much with his observations about the weather and the sea, boats, the land, history, etc. He also did a great job connecting the group members with all the hosts, people who ran the boat, etc. so we had a glimpse into Duone life rather than having the feeling of just being waited on.

Our guides, Cube and Scott, were awesome! They took very good care of us, helping make various adjustments to make me more comfortable. They also were great company and incredibly knowledgeable about many topics, not just cycling. I felt incredibly pampered and well taken care of. They truly exceeded my expectations in all respects. They were always polite, professional, and I could tell they truly loved showing me their homeland of Scotland.

Scott was an excellent guide and very personable

Scott is a fantastic, first-class tour leader: enthusiastic, happy, positive, interesting, good with people, encouraging, accommodating, and on and on. He did a first-class job. Guides like him have a huge role in the overall excitement and good spirit of a tour!
Our second guides had to switch out mid-tour, so we spent less time with them, but they did a good job too and all worked hard for us. Much thanks to all three!

Both Scott and Simon were excellent, would love to do a trip again with either of them!

We had the same guides as out last trip. They were excellent as usual, hope we get them again!

As much as I dislike filling out comments, I can’t say enough about our guides, Simon and Scott. They were amazingly knowledgeable about our surroundings, the history, the trips, local to do and see, current events or anything we chose to talk about. Nothing seemed to be a bother, they were on top of any requests or questions and couldn’t be any more accommodating and make us feel like old friends.

Scott and John and the prefect guides- friendly and non judgmental about hill walking on a cycling holiday

Scot and John were superb, helpful and always accommodating.

Scott and John were really wonderful. Easy going, helpful, cheerful and with good senses of humor. What more could you ask for. Multiple folks commented that often when you are at the back you feel bad with the guide waiting for you, but Scott just chatted away so pleasantly that everyone had a great time. And John was lovely and helped give us great advice.

our guides Scott and John were fantastic

Our guides Scott and John were just a delight to travel with. Always supportive and caring. Wonderfully flexible to ideas our group had for changes . And good suggestions and advice throughout that allowed us to challenge ourselves without overdoing it. Being supported to adopt ones own pace made every day really enjoyable.

What a wonderful pair of guides! We appreciated their knowledge, company and willingness to adapt the different routes. They were always positive and encouraging. Much appreciated!

The guides we had on this trip were absolutely fantastic. They were flexible, helpful and listened to us- not easy as we were nine potentially stroppy women. They really made the trip the joy it was for us.

Scott was a great guide. Everything ran really smoothly and he was also great company.

Scott friendly, helpful, encouraging, patient and cheerful throughout.

Scott was brilliant.

Scott was simply excellent - as described earlier. We made sure we let him know.

Scott had excellent knowledge, was super helpful and positive and a really excellent guide. Dan was a great second in command.

Scott and Dan were friendly, very knowledgeable and good to travel with.

Scott was really amazing. Both Scott and Dan made the trip so enjoyable informative and fun. They also had high regard for our safety and wellbeing. They were fun and we honestly could not have asked for more.

Scott was outstanding. Superb people skills. Calm at all times. Kind, supportive, encouraging and with a sense of humour. An excellent leader. He had great knowledge of the Hebrides and first class communication skills. Every meal time was enriched by his contributions.

Scott McCabe was superb. Really experienced in the geography, nature and a great cyclist / mechanic / mentor

Scott and Tim were excellent guides. Very knowledgeable and informative and took a relaxed and flexible approach in the current circumstances. I also really enjoyed the walk with Doug from Trees for Life.

Both Scott and Tim were excellent guides. Very good organisation, always felt very safe and they were good fun. Also a shout out for our host at Trees for Life - fascinating chat.

If there was something above excellent, I would select it. Scott and Tim were just fantastic--thoughtful, knowledgable, accommodating, a pleasure to talk with and be around--the type of people who I thought "why don't I have friends like them back home".

Craig and Scott are awesome and a tribute to the quality of guides you employy

Pros: Everything we did.
Cons. Nothing.

Scottiago And Craig Bond were excellent, hard working, and very professional. Made our trip smooth running and extremely enjoyable.

Tim and Scott were two of the best guides I’ve had in all my many bike tours. Lots of knowledge and never once made me feel hurried or like I was holding them back.

We had mixed abilities on our trip and they accommodated everyone. Extremely knowledgeable about history, flora and fauna

Tim and Scott did a great job guiding our group throughout the tour. They had their work cut out for them with our diverse group of riders and they made it work smoothly. Also, thank you for celebrating my birthday on the tour, and providing chocolate! They made everyone feel welcome and comfortable throughout the week.

Both guides were excellent and did their best to respond the needs of a large and rather diverse group. Their love for Scotland and her beauty was evident throughout the trip and as they shared stories and information. I am not always the easiest person to satisfy as I have a huge need for alone time, and unless there was a safety reason to ride as a group, they never made me feel badly about satisfying that need by riding in front or behind.

Scot McCabe is an especially good guide , patient and personable with all ages ! A great sense of humor (that was enhanced for myself by having Naomi and her mom Heather along) ! Fun stuff. Always aware of Scots competence in case of change of plans, or if an emergency had occurred. Just a very considerate person to personal needs, like going out of his way to provide specific snacks like gluten free, or soecific interests like wool, ETC
Much appreciation and thanks

Our guide, Scott, was perfect! Extremely personable, knowledgeable, enthusiastic. He felt like a friend. Really going to miss him!

Scot was wonderful. Everyone in the group travelled together really well. I believe Scot set the wonderful tone that we all followed through on. His also has a real knack for explaining things - everything from the day’s plan to the history of the region.
