Neil,
Just a few lines to tell you how pleased we are of our experience in Scotland.
First, let me say that I continue to be impressed with the professionalism of you and all your staff. You
guys are a true credit to the travel industry. I cannot imagine a better group to work with. Everything you
told us was accurate and every suggestion you made worked out to the betterment of our trip. All 16
members of our group were extremely happy with the way things turned out.
The extra steps you took for us, suggesting and getting the bus and driver Allen, making the
arrangements for the manor homes at the Fairmont, working with the courses to assist our individual
needs, all of which made this a very memorable trip. I must mention that the ladies are still talking about
their guided tour of Glamis Castle as being the highlight of their trip. You know of course, when they are
happy, the guys are very happy! I think there is no doubt we will return, and of course, we will ask for you
guys to represent us once again.
It was easy to see that your staff thought of us at every opportunity. It would have been easy to just let us
wing it each day, but you and John went the extra mile in every way. This includes getting us reservations
at local restaurants for dinners we scheduled at the last moment. We also thank you for the gifts provided
to each of us.
The personal touches you and John did for us by meeting us in Edinburgh upon our arrival and meeting
us every day in St. Andrews made us know that you were there to make our trip as grand as possible. I
think you guys must also have some good connections with Mother Nature as even the weather could not
have been better. There is little question that you guys are the best travel agency I have ever worked
with.
Please extend my best wishes and thanks to all your office staff for the help and guidance they provided
over the last several months leading up to our trip. Carolyn and Alasdiar were always kind and very
helpful.
Please excuse my tardiness in getting this letter back to you as I have had some jet lag and upon my
return to the office, I found a desk full of projects.
I consider you guys to be good friends and I wish all of you the very, very best.

John,
This is a very belated thank you to you and Neil for setting up a wonderful golf vacation in Scotland for
Seth and I. The personal attention you gave us along with all your little helpful tips made for a wonderful
experience. We were very happy that with your help we decided to go up and play at Cruden Bay too…
that was terrific. You also did a splendid job with the weather and I’ve told our friends that if they use your
travel company that you can “guarantee” them a similar weather experience.

Thanks for the photos from my Old Course & St Andrews visit. John and I look great on the 1st tee and I
really enjoyed John’s company. He is, without doubt, a uniquely gifted individual whose years of
experience of the subtleties of The Old Course became evident, when he let me into some of the great
stories about The Old Course, St Andrews and Scotland.

Our trip was not only memorable, but very well planned and coordinated as well. Thank you for taking the
time to meet with us in St. Andrews and Edinburgh. I have forwarded your info to few of my friends...
explaining to them that you not only provide excellent golf packages, but also a true Scottish golfing
experience . Thank you for the experience.

John Just a note to say thank you for your part in arranging our golf experience and for seeing to it that
we had good weather.
I’m already planning to return next year with the whole family and will look forward to more good golf and
good fun.

Neil/John--what a great trip! Many thanks for arranging the golf at Fortrose, St. Andrews, and Carnoustie,
fly fishing, transportation, dinner reservations, and accommodations. Everything was 1st class and we
immensely enjoyed our week in beautiful Scotland and our time spent with you. Many thanks for hosting
us and arranging for my parents to join us and then stay on in London and Rome.

Neil;
Many thanks to you for your efforts in setting up our golf vacation in Scotland. It went so well, and we had
such a good time, that I have already passed your name on to others here at home, and I will not hesitate
to recommend your tour company to anyone looking for a golfing vacation in the UK.
Your attention to detail ensured that we did everything we wanted to, and still had enough downtime
between events to relax and enjoy ourselves. Having a driver and van was essential, and our driver in
particular was excellent. Paul Strachan (Strachan Tours) was professional, very friendly, very funny, and
overall a great guy- we are glad he was part of our trip. Dornoch was very nice- the 2Quail Guest House
was above and beyond our expectations, and Karensa and Michael were excellent hosts, not to mention
the food at the Royal Dornoch - Michael is a fantastic Chef. St. Andrews, The Old Course, and The
Rusacks were everything we were expecting them to be- thank you for that.
The kilt hire in St. Andrews was also a great idea- we have some great pics, and the kilts went over really
well in the Dunvegan. Meeting you (and John) in St. Andrews, then you again at the Stirling Albion
football match was an excellent touch. Our trip was great anyway- having the opportunity to have a pint
with the guy that set it all up made it even better. To sum it up, our driver was excellent, the five golf
courses were incredible, the weather was perfect (it almost didn't rain in our 9 days: not sure how you did
that, but well done!), and the accommodations were fantastic.
The memories of this trip will last a lifetime.

My friends and I have been back from Scotland for a few weeks and have had time to reflect on our
great trip. I often wonder if Neil gets bored of hearing how great people's experiences were or that they
loved the Old Course etc. I can only imagine how it must feel every week to be able to plan and be a
part of peoples " Once in A Life Time" adventures.
To Neil and his cast of characters,
Words are tough to capture the experience we had travelling through Scotland this October. It was the
most amazing trip I have ever been on. When everything you plan comes together perfectly and the
weather in Scotland turns sunny in October for 10 straight days…., something amazing was going on.
I look back on every aspect of the trip, our driver was absolutely perfectly matched to our itinerary and
personalities…..he was the glue that held everything together. His knowledge of the local areas and
Paul singing the odd little ditties full of Scottish words we didn't understand….brilliant. His giddy
excitement to visit the west coast on our second day was the unexpected highlight of the trip and a true
gem for anyone planning to see Scotland. The single pass road to Applecross was something I'll never
forget and I've got the pictures of a life time to prove it. The scenery was breath taking.
The golf was the one part I knew was going to be amazing, and it was!!!!! The experiences of golfing
with a caddie to the stunning views from the coastal courses (Royal Dornoch is a must), being met
every day in St. Andrews for breakfast and hearing the many golf stories….it was a golfers dream and
will last forever in pictures and my memory…. Teeing up on One at the Old Course can't be put into
words….I've never been so nervous. golfing with Neil on the Old Course was a real treat).
It almost sounds funny to say, but I was expecting the golf to be all that….. It was all the small extras
and unexpected things that made our trip a perfect 10. The bed and breakfast in
Dornoch….incredible….. the 5 star chef at the golf club for dinner, unreal food…… meeting Nikki at the
Castle Hotel in Huntly…priceless!!! The random stops at castles and Scotch stores, the Distillery tours,
golfing with professional footballers and then going to a match….even the Monty Python "bridge of
death"….. every day was a constant adventure of new highlights. (and our drivers historical knowledge
everywhere we went was invaluable) PS: Not using a driver would be a huge mistake.
Trying to capture it all in a testimonial would be impossible, needless to say, we all had our own
highlights. Neil had arranged all of it and took special care to make sure every stop was better than the
last. A true Professional who takes pride in planning "Trip's of a Life Time". Well, ours lived up to that
and more. I can't thank him enough. We even had a pint and a scotch with his parents at the Cricket
club in Stirling. (a great day and I even learned a few new words at the football match that I can't write
here…lol )
If you ever want to see the real Scotland, golf coast to coast and experience St. Andrews and all it's
history…… you can't do better and be more connected than dealing with Neil and St. Andrews Golf
Tours.
I can't wait to come back.
Thanks again

Hi Lyn and Neil,
I just want to thank you for the wonderful time we spent in Scotland and Ireland, everything went as
planned or better...
Please tell John that we thank him very much for his kindness.
Paul, our driver/guide was exceptional, we really appreciated the way he treated us and when we
moved on to Ireland John Lambe was every bit as helpful.
We enjoyed every day of the adventure.
Our best regards

Neil:
As could be expected I am crazy busy catching up in the office but I do want to tell you we had a
glorious time. The hotel accommodations were superior and the golf was truly memorable. My next trip I
will take care not to hit so many of the bunkers and I know I'll break 100 every time. We had such good
food that my wife jokingly asked if we got on the right plane or did we land in Italy!!!
For future recommendations for your clients, the Italian restaurant right next door to the Columba Hotel
and Roc Pool right on the corner were world class eateries with very nice wine lists. The GI GI in St.
Andrews and most especially, our meal the last evening in Rocca in the lobby of the Rusacks Hotel was
a perfect way to end a most wonderful week. The owner of the restaurant extended us his personal
hospitality and dazzled us with his chef's masterpiece château briand! John can fill you in on the details
of that story!!
Speaking of John, what a true gentleman! From the moment we met in the airport to our last day at St.
Andrews, he was available for good counsel on the right pubs and the local custom. It was really a
pleasure to spend a few hours with him. He is an outstanding asset to your operation.
One aside. Castle Stuart was certainly my favorite course. The majestic views coupled with the pristine
condition of the course was really a shock to our systems given what I had expected to see in Scotland.
It didn't hurt that the weather continued to cooperate. If that course could make arrangements with a
local hotel a grand trip would be to stay there as a base, play that course 2-3 times and then try some
other local beauties.
Again my thanks for making what we thought would be a once in a lifetime trip so wonderful and
memorable. I am sure we will be in touch in the future for a return engagement. Oh and thanks for the
beautiful pictures from number 1 tee at the Old Course. What a nice touch.
With warmest personal regards,
Mike Walsh,
Staten Island, NY
We were very happy with your planning of golf, transportation etc as well as the attention from your
staff at the different courses. Thanks to John for organizing an extra last minute round on the Old
Course. You are in good hands when you book with with Neil and John.
Best Wishes
