Clients’ comments
“Safely back after a very enjoyable holiday. The arrangements all worked – the guest house in Gjógv is excellent and a real find, and the weather was mostly dry. The two full days I had in the Northern Isles, were spectacularly sunny which was marvellous. Alas no photos of me – travelling on my own!”
John Nugee, Faroes Self Drive
“We had a fantastic trip, thank you for all your planning on our behalf. We loved the Faroes. The landscapes were stunningly strange and other-worldly, helped by the regular low cloud and mist, rapidly followed by dapples of sunshine. It was difficult to stop taking photographs! All in all it was a terrific trip, and one we will be recommending to some friends. We look forward to travelling with your assistance again soon.”
Professor Marion McMurdo and Dr Grant Hutchison, Faroe Islands
