Awesome! We were so delighted to meet out tour guide, Alan Fee. He was so personable and made you feel like you had known him all your life. His love for Scotland is so clear in the knowledge that he shared with us. We really hated to end our City Tour with him. We wished we had signed up to do his three day tour instead of the one we signed up for! Alan Fee is the owner and operator of Ecosse Executive! If we ever go back that is the way we will travel through Scotland! We give him 5 stars plus!!!
