点评:Reading the glowing reviews already posted, here's another one to add to the list!
My family (1 adult, 2 boys aged 7 & 10) were lucky enough to spend a day with Steve over February half-term. I'd called beforehand to ask if trips were running during low season and if they were suitable for children, and Steve was kind enough to plan a day to fit around the weather and our travel plans. Our day was perfect from top to tail. Steve collected us from our Airbnb and took us to breath-taking parts of the islands we never would have found by ourselves. We saw a massive variety of wildlife and made a list as the day progressed: otters, sea eagles, harbour seals, kestrels, buzzards, lapwings, goldcrests, sparrowhawk, different species of swans and geese, and plenty more - even a majestic red stag!
Steve set-up his telescope so that the children could get a proper view, and set mini challenges to keep them engaged throughout. We learned so much and enjoyed hearing local history and stories along the way.
As well as being a fountain of knowledge Steve is kind, genuine and generally a very lovely human. If (when!) we make it back to the Hebrides we'd all jump at the chance to do another trip - a huge thank you for making it such an enjoyable day! Next time we'll bring a decent camera...

我们一家四口(一位大人,两个男孩,分别7岁和10岁)有幸在二月假期和史蒂夫一起度过了一天。我事先打电话询问淡季是否还有行程,以及是否适合带孩子,史蒂夫非常贴心地根据天气和我们的旅行计划安排了一天的行程。这一天从头到尾都完美无瑕。史蒂夫从我们预订的Airbnb接我们,带我们去了岛上一些我们自己绝对找不到的绝美地方。我们看到了种类繁多的野生动物,一路上还记着:水獭、海雕、港海豹、红隼、鵟、凤头麦鸡、金冠戴菊、雀鹰、各种天鹅和鹅,还有很多其他的——甚至还有一头雄伟的红鹿!
史蒂夫架起了望远镜,让孩子们可以好好观赏,还设置了一些小挑战,让他们全程都兴致盎然。我们学到了很多,一路聆听当地的历史和故事也让我们受益匪浅。
史蒂夫不仅知识渊博,而且为人友善真诚,是一位非常可爱的人。如果(或者说,当我们!)有机会重返赫布里底群岛,我们一定会毫不犹豫地再次踏上这片土地——非常感谢你让我们度过了如此愉快的一天!下次我们一定会带上一台像样的相机……
