"Debbi and Kim were very attentive to details and to passenger concerns.
Positive attitude is “catchy” and makes everyone smile even when tired. Gail (2015 Scotland Guide) was great – fits right in with her humour and attitude – and of course knowledgeable and interesting. “Etc.” seems to cover almost anything!
Tony is an excellent driver and very helpful, but he needs to tell us more jokes!"
