You have been a blessing. I am very grateful that I was able to make contact with you. You have offered us not only wonderful options, but also plenty of details. I also love the fact that you offered suggestions, but then also offered your best recommendations. We are pumped. Thank you again so very much!!!" šŸ“ŒMy husband & I reached out to Kate in early April with the intent to book a trip to Scotland which included my husbandā€™s desire to see the Outer Hebrides - specifically Isle of Barra. But after a few back & forth communications with Kate, I felt much more confident in our ability to make a beautiful trip out of our sparse outline of an idea. Kate drew us up an impressive itinerary, complete with links & an interactive map. We are currently on day 3 of our journey and I am very grateful for Kateā€™s itinerary and our decision to rely upon her services.
