For planners, half the fun of a vacation happens before it even begins. Perhaps you’ve got ideas where in Scotland you’d like to visit but are having trouble weighing them against other options, finding the right number of nights to stay in each place, or choosing the right activities. Or maybe you’re frozen with analysis paralysis — everything in Scotland looks fantastic! — and don’t know where or how to start planning your trip. You just know you must come to Scotland and you need help with your Scotland trip planning.
An hour-long trip consultation with me is the perfect answer to these troublesome questions, and this is the service I recommend for most people. I’ll provide my expert advice and thorough experience on all things Scottish, such as:
- Itinerary construction and travel pacing to mesh with your personal needs and desires, including which places to go and how long to spend there.
- Recommendations for activities and interesting sites aligned to your interests.
- Hidden gems I’ve found on my travels.
- Advice on common questions like expected weather, packing tips, transportation options, and which passes to purchase.
- Guidance and cultural pitfalls for first-time visitors.
How It Works and What to Expect
- First, you’ll fill a questionnaire and submit it. The more detailed you are the better!
- I’ll contact you once I’ve received the questionnaire, possibly ask a few follow-up questions, and send along an invoice.
- Once I’ve received payment, I get to work putting together recommendations for your trip to Scotland based on your interests, needs, and travel parameters.
- When I’m finished putting together my recommendations, I’ll email you so we can set up a time for our hour-long Skye/FaceTime/voice call.
- During the call, I go over your trip in detail, answer any questions you might have, and get you really excited about your upcoming trip to Scotland.
- Following the call, I email you my recommendations so you don’t have to take notes during our talk. If you have any questions down the road, you’re free to email me and I’ll be happy to help.
Where do I begin to sum up how my husband and I feel about our amazing trip to Scotland? The most important thing to do is thank you, Keith. Your understanding of our goals and expert advice left us with a vacation we will never forget. Without your guidance, we would never have been able to do what we did. We’ve absolutely fallen in love with Scotland. From the kind, generous people, to the ...
