“Where do we start with Mairi Nicolson! We couldn’t have a better tour leader, actually is the best tour leader we have ever had. Mairi kept everything running smoothly but one could sense that there was nothing she wasn’t aware of. Her talks were very knowledgeable and she was very witty at times.”
