"Judy, the trip you helped us plan was simply perfect in every way. I had wanted this trip to be a special not just to see Ireland for the first time but propose to my girlfriend. The personal time, patience, and attention you shared with me was simply fantastic. I was confident before we even arrived in Ireland that this trip was going to be just the way we had dreamed. Your knowledge of Ireland's sights and lodging allowed us to customize the trip to our desires. Each place we stayed was another welcomed treat along the way. The trip was planned with plenty of suggestions of sights to see yet leaving comfortable time for detours if we so decided too. Our final night was in a castle which was the perfect ending to such a magical trip. We will definitely look to use you again in the future. Thanks again!"

"This was my third trip to Scotland, but Judy made it the best trip of all! The lodgings she chose were excellent! The best I've had in Scotland! The itinerary was fun and informative at the same time. I particularly liked the exciting additions she added to the trip, like the scavenger hunt based on Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. What fun we had, mixing with the locals and scouring Inverness for those items! Thank you Judy, for making this my most memorable tour of Scotland ever! "
-- Jan Sterling, Hiram, ME (Outlander Tour®, 2009)

"Judy, thanks to you we had a fantastic two weeks in Scotland and were able to see everything we planned, with plenty of time to be spontaneous as well. We so appreciate that you were able to link the places we wanted to go (and suggest other stops like Kilmartin Glen that you knew we would enjoy) into an itinerary paced in such a way that we never had days with too much driving. Covering so much ground in the Highlands meant finding a different hotel almost every night, and this is where your expertise was invaluable. I'm sure the fact that you'd been to most of these inns, lodges and hotels resulted in us having night after night of beautiful rooms with great views, and often being greeted by friendly proprietors saying 'oh, Judy sent you!' Your local knowledge really helped us make the most of our time in Scotland, and we look forward to planning another trip with you soon."

"Both Marilyn and I thank you for all of your extra efforts to make our trip on your "Lords of the Isles" tour a wonderful experience! Special thanks for all your research of my ancestors and making all the arrangements for the introductions to my Scotland family."
-- Jack and Marilyn Duncan, Adrian, Michigan (Lords of the Isles Tour, 2008)

"What can I say about an absolutely perfect vacation and introduction to an unknown country and its history? There are really inadequate words to express my appreciation to you for an experience of a lifetime."
-- Carolyn Vallone, Tampa, Florida (Outlander TourTM September 2008)

"We have been on many tours over the years, but cannot remember a tour guide who took such a special interest in all the people in the group as you did. Thanks for a wonderful vacation!"
-- Charles and Fran Ciraolo, El Cajon, California (Outlander TourTM May 2008)

“Judy has been absolutely indispensible to me in my recent trips to Ireland, Scotland, and England. She considers my tastes in lodging and finds the best matches. Most importantly, however, she finds me great destinations off the beaten path for research and relaxation. I couldn’t be more satisfied than I already am, and I’ve highly recommended her to my friends and associates."
--Melissa Marr, New York Times bestselling author of Wicked Lovely and Ink Exchange” (Private tours, 2007 and 2008)

"When my brother and I began planning our trip to Scotland we found Judy's information on the VisitScotland website. Looking for a professional to handle our travels, we were happy to learn that she was a ScotsMaster destination specialist. As we began working with her we realized what a benefit it was to have an expert making our arrangements. All of the trip details were arranged and prepaid: airfare, hand-picked accommodations, car rental, even entry passes, which reduced our waiting time at special sites. She wrote a complete itinerary for us, with drive times (can be tricky in Scotland!), directions, travel details on money, weather, clothing, all of which facilitated our travels.
-- Debbie Giesey, Springfield, Virginia (Private tour 2005, History and Mystery Tour 2007)

"The trip to Scotland was absolute perfection thanks to your marvelous planning. Everything was in order each step of the way and you even deserve plaudits for the weather management - out of fourteen days I only had one day of rain! Lots of sunny blue skies and perfect temperatures. Your hotel choices were delightful and everyone was cordial, helpful, and friendly."
-- Deborah Troemner, Lumberton, New Jersey (Private tour 2006)

"Judy, thank you so much for the most enjoyable trip of our life! You got to know us before the trip and put everything together just the way we would have wanted to if we possessed your expertise. You were even nice enough to help us last minute when we decided to renew our vows in Kirkwall. That was a fantastic memory all by itself. Then you kept in touch with us in Scotland making it feel like you were with us from the day we first contacted you till we arrived home. You're a rarity these days--- a person who does her job and does it well, and perhaps more importantly, a person who genuinely cares about her clients! Thanks again!"
