点评:My spouse and I made our first trip to Scotland in April-May 2025. Stewart was recommended to give us a private driver led tour of the Scottish Borders and we booked a one day 8-hour tour. One of the best decisions we made as spending the day with Stewart was like being with a very good friend, who is engaging, knowledgeable, listens to your interests and questions and has as much enjoyment showing his land as we enjoyed visiting. Meeting him at the coffee shop in Melrose, conversation was easy as if we’d known each other awhile. Taking some of the back roads to Hawick, then Borders Distillery, a remote country pub, and the Bowhill Estate, enabled us to see a part of Scotland steeped in history yet still showing a slice of daily life, not yet overrun with tourists. Along the way we covered a variety of topics, engaging in lively conversation as well as moments of aha and quiet reflection at the surroundings. Definitely let him know ahead of time your interests so he can tailor a tour for you. We would schedule with him again should life bring us back to Scotland (hopefully!).
