Helen is awesome
The guide (Helen) was AWESOME. Super fun and we happen to see reindeer (the first time Helen has ever seen this in her 14 years). It was an easy tour and pretty and got back early (like 9:30 - 5:15) which I appreciated a lot.

Tour to Cairgorms National Park
Although the participants were only three, I really enjoyed this tour. Seana has perfectly arranged the route on the way to Cairgorms National Park. While in the car, she explained the historical background of the places we were going, though she spoke a little bit fast for a non-native speaker like me. However, I felt her efforts to make us enjoy the tour. Thanks to her efforts!
