Dear Shannon,
Many thanks for a fantastic holiday - I
can't think of a single thing that you
could have done to make it better.
The good weather continued for the
rest of our stay right up until the last
day of our visit to Oxford and by that
time we had done all of the outdoor
things so it didn't matter.

Being home has been a real challenge.
I have too much to do but I have
made a resolution that next year I'll
be spending more time relaxing. I
have attached a photo but you
probably have received a similar one
from one of the others that is almost
certainly better than mine.

Hope all is going well for you.
My best wishes to you and Mario and
we'll meet again next year.

Regards,

Jan Lyall( in red jumper)









Hi Shannon & Mario
Chris and I send our best!  After short
reflection, our experience on
tour was nothing short of fabulous!  
Chris has a particularly fine
picture of the two of you at the
Breaghmore Stones.  At your
suggestion we toured the Cotswolds
one day out of London. The day trip
showed us bus tours of ANYTHING
are astronomically inferior to what
we had so recently become
accustomed to! We are talking up
SDT to anyone who will listen and
sincerely hope to see you again
(future tour?!).  Please know that you
are free to use us as reference.

Scottish Dream Tours     1 800 511 7803







The very best in small group tours to Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England.
Featuring amazing castles, cozy pubs, quaint tearooms, majestic monasteries,
picturesque villages, spectacular scenery and unbelievable history.
Scottish Dream Tours is a small group tour operator that
prefers to arrange, schedule and conduct each of our tours
personally so each of our tours are usually offered just once a
year.  We specialize in quaint tearooms, amazing castles,
glorious gardens, cozy pubs, fascinating history, local folks and
flavor, picturesque villages and spectacular scenery.
We truly believe there is no better way to see these lands than on
a small group tour that allows for a slower pace and time to enjoy
the scenery, lovely villages and the people who inhabit them. All
of our tours are designed for small groups in order to take
advantage of accommodations, eateries and sights that would not
be available to larger groups. You may find yourself staying in a
lovely city guest house, small country house hotel, 200 year old
coaching Inn and a secluded farmhouse all in the same visit! You
will find yourself dining in unique tearooms, pubs, old coaching
inns, seaside restaurants, Highland Dinners and Shows or a
Medieval Castle Banquet as part of your culinary experience.
For me there is no place on earth more beautiful than Scotland.
From the Borders to the Highlands there is an abundance of
breathtaking sights round every corner! Spectacular castles,
beautiful lochs and the warmest, friendliest people on earth.
From William Wallace, King Robert the Bruce and Mary Queen
of Scots to Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott and Rob Roy
McGregor the history and romance is beyond compare! The
home of golf, shortbread, Arbroath Smokies, Finnan Haddie,
Whisky, Scones, Tartan, Kilts and Ewan McGregor! From coast
to coast and the Highlands to the Borders there is nothing to
compare to the history and beauty of Scotland!
There is no greener place on earth and each time I return to
Ireland my love for the country grows.  The Emerald Isle
affords some of the most spectacular scenery anywhere.
Walking, hiking, horseback riding, golf and water sports are
offered in abundance to satisfy any enthusiast. From the Giants
Causeway in the north to The Cliffs of Moher and the Ring of
Kerry  to Waterford it is a land of enchantment! Ireland offers
some of the most unique accommodation choices and a pub
culture with traditional music nights that are second to none.
If I could not live in Scotland, Wales would be a very close
second. Unrivaled hospitality, breathtaking countryside,
spectacular coastline and an amazing array of castles! More
castles per square mile than any other country in Europe. What
more could one ask? From Snowdonia to The Breacon Beacons
and from Cardiff to Pembroke it is a magical land of  beautiful
beaches, spectacular peaks and lovely glens! Stay in 400 year
old farmhouses, dine in 600 year old pubs and partake of
wonderful castle medieval nights. Every trip to Wales amazes
me with the history and unspoilt countryside from Anglesey in
North Wales to the Pembrokeshire Coast in the South.
Shannon and Mario,
I just wanted to thank you again for
such a wonderful trip.  It was way
beyond amazing!  I can't get over the
change in my Mom from when we
arrived in Edinburgh til now!  The trip
was a real eye opener to her that there
is more to life than just working and
getting through each day.  Since we've
gotten home all she's talked about was
how great the trip was and she can't
wait to go on another one with you two.
She's actually already thinking about
getting a group of 6 or 8 of us together
and having you two plan and guide us
on another tour!  So be forewarned!!!!

Dear Shannon,
Tami and I want to thank you for a
wonderful trip!  It exceeded our
expectations greatly.  You and Mario
provided an experience that will not be
forgotten.

We look forward to more adventures
with you in the future.

Truly sincerely,

Eb and Tami
Shannon and Mario,
This was indeed a fabulous trip in so
many ways. Not only was I in awe of
the breathtaking scenery and the fact
of just being there where so much
history of my ancestors took place,
the itinerary was fantastic, the
accommodations lovely, but the
added pleasure of having the company
of such a delightful tour group made
the journey that much better.
I know making this all happen is a
monumental task, and it is evident
that both of you are talented and most
dedicated to the task. My sincere
thanks for all that you did to make this
14 days of memories I will treasure
always. No doubt that I will be back
for another adventure!

Sincerely,
Marsha Elliott















Hello Shannon and Mario,
This is a very belated note to
thank you for the well planned trip in
Scotland.  I recently went on a bus trip
to New England and again I realized
how much nicer our small group tour
was. I don't think Bob could have
handled any other kind of tour. You
were so kind and considerate to
everyone, particularly Bob. We have
lots of pictures and we often speak of
both of you and the things
we saw and did.
