Hi! My name is Kim and I have been working in the industry for over 15 years, giving me a deep understanding of UK & Irish travel and a passion for creating tailor-made experiences for clients from around the world that showcase the very best of the UK and Ireland. 


Outside of the office and travelling, I am a keen runner and can usually be found training for my next half marathon or trying to get speedier! Either that or curled up with a good book or catering to the whims of her ginger tom cat (who’s firmly convinced he’s the real boss of me)!

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.

Hello, I’m Alex. My love for travel started early when I moved from England to Hong Kong at nine. Since then, I’ve lived and worked around the world, from South African game reserves to marine projects in Mozambique, and watersports centres in Honduras and Fiji. Eventually, I returned home to the UK and now live on the Pembrokeshire coast. Here, I design journeys across the UK and Ireland, focusing on creating seamless, well-paced trips. I enjoy helping travellers connect with each place through its landscapes, history, and local food, always tailoring each experience to what matters most to them.

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.

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!

Hi, I'm Liam. I grew up between the UK and Spain, with an Irish family behind all of it, which means I have spent most of my life going back and forth between the places I now plan trips to. These days I design tailor-made itineraries across Britain, Ireland and Spain.

Everything I put in an itinerary is somewhere I would send a friend. Walking the Cotswold Way through the English countryside, an evening in a Highland distillery that has not been turned into a gift shop, a small town in Cornwall that is worth staying in rather than driving through. Tell me what you actually want out of the trip and I will build it around that, not around a template.

FAQs About Our Local Travel Experts in Scotland

What’s the difference between a local expert and a travel agent?

Our local experts actually live in the country you want to visit - they’re not just selling trips, they’re sharing real knowledge. While a traditional travel agent might rely on third-party info, our experts know what’s open, what’s worth seeing, and how to avoid the crowds. They’ll plan your trip based on what works right now, using their own network of trusted guides, hotels, and local experiences.
