Scotland Local Travel Experts

Growing up, our family holidays took us across the UK—exploring the wilds of Scotland's west coast, hiking along England’s southern shores, wandering the Lake District, and spending time in Pembrokeshire, which I later chose as my home after graduating. These days, you’ll often find me out cycling, hiking, or sea kayaking whenever I can. I’m here to help you get to know the true character of England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and France. I can offer tailored insights to help you plan a journey to remember, whether that’s discovering the incredible flavours along our coastlines, escaping to a remote island in Scotland, or exploring the history of castles and legends. 

I have explored every nook and cranny of the UK and Ireland and must say that I am absolutely in awe of the breathtaking beauty. It's my pleasure to offer you insider knowledge of the many "secret" places and hidden gems where you can fully immerse yourself in culture, whether you're looking to savour the finest Scottish whiskies (my personal favourite being Talisker distilled on the Isle of Skye) or dive into the country's rich history through ancient ruins, hidden gardens, and traditional experiences amidst our rugged mountains and stunning coastlines.

As your dedicated travel consultant, my mission is to ensure that you have the best possible experience. So, all you need to do is fasten your seatbelt, relax, and enjoy the ride! Our Fly & Drive tours are perfect for those who want to explore the United Kingdom and Ireland independently. You can book your flights to any airport in these countries, and we'll take care of the rest. We have well established relationships with carefully selected bed and breakfasts and hotels all over the countries, and we work with rental car companies to get you the best drive for your personalised adventure. We also offer the option of pre-booking train routes for you, including transfers from the stations to your selected hotels, as well as scheduled excursions to explore the areas. Let's make your travel dreams a reality with a personalised tour that fits your interests and budget.

Embarking on a lifelong journey of wanderlust, my love for travel was ignited during my formative years. My childhood holidays in the United Kingdom were spent exploring new destinations with my family. Beachcombing for treasure and wandering through woodlands spotting wildlife were all part of the fun. Those journeys afforded me the privilege of discovering numerous splendid destinations. 

Specializing in crafting bespoke travel experiences, my intimate knowledge of the UK lends itself to designing unforgettable holidays. I take pride in curating unique, one-of-a-kind itineraries within cities, towns, and villages, ensuring each adventure is a unique and personalized experience. 

I was born and raised in Portugal, a country I know intimately and love sharing with others. Over the years, I’ve expanded my expertise to planning tailor-made, intimate, and luxury trips across Europe and North Africa. From vibrant cities to hidden gems, I curate experiences that are unique, personal, and unforgettable. While I’m based in the Algarve—Portugal’s sun-kissed south—I’ll guide you through some of the most inspiring places across the region and beyond. Ready to plan your next adventure together?

Hi, I’m Laura, I was born and raised in the Algarve, Portugal, where the sea and sun shaped my love for nature and exploration. I’ve always been curious, whether I’m diving into a good book or discovering new places. Travel is both my passion and my profession. I’m a travel agent who’s been lucky to explore corners of Europe like Paris, London, Vienna, Prague, Malta, and the beautiful islands of São Miguel and Madeira. I find joy in connecting with different cultures and helping others do the same through meaningful travel experiences.

I launched our tour operator in 2007 together with my father to share with others my passion and knowledge travel. I have led many of our guided walking holidays in France and the UK. Always jovial, with plenty of stories to tell, I will be your perfect antidote to working in the office (or whatever work you are escaping from).

Our tour operator is based in France, and the UK, so we can work in both countries and allow folks to discover le vrai France and have an authentic British Isles experience. Our background has been creating walking holidays and sharing the joy of eating half-board meals at mountain huts, or chic guesthouses! 

Born and raised in New Zealand, I spent some time travelling all over the planet before moving to France 15 years ago, and I’ve made Lyon my home. I graduated with a Master’s degree as an Urbanist, but I have worked for over 7 years in the luxury travel industry. I think taking people out of their comfort zones is a part of my brief.

I grew up in Portugal and soon understood that travelling and getting to know other cultures was my passion! This led me to pursue a degree in Tourism that gave me background and a better understanding of this industry and the actual travel trends. As a traveller, I am deeply passionate about immersing myself in local cultures, experiencing them as if I truly belong, that's what I want you to feel when you decide to travel with me. I’ve explored Portugal from top to bottom, as well as many destinations across Europe and beyond. I consider, that together, we could create a memorable trip for you!
