Neil West
Hello everyone! I'm Neil, a proud Scotsman splitting my time between Fife & Glasgow. When I'm not busy planning my next trip I'll likely be following sports - football, rugby & ice hockey to name but a few - or I'll be listening to music or playing one of my beloved guitars.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in the UK, with a focus on Scotland - my home nation. Having lived in both Edinburgh and Glasgow I have a real interest in the hustle and bustle of cities as well as the stunning landscapes of the Highlands, Islands and wider UK countryside."
How did you get involved in travel?
"My father was brought up in Chile and Peru as my grandfather was a mining engineer in South America at that time. My mother, she lived and worked as a nurse in South Africa and Zimbabwe. Their passion for people, culture and language had me hooked on travel from a young age!"
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Taking a 3 week trip to India, Hong Kong and China in 2010. Travelling with good friends, visiting others already there and topping it off with an impromptu concert for a major car company at a 5* hotel in Kunming - incredible memories."

Overall, happy with service.
Would have liked faster responsiveness to last minute inquiries or issue identifications.
Appreciate that response times depend on staff availability and local public holiday schedules. Suggest retaining backup coverage for these types of “real time” issues.
Best,
Hi Jishnu,

It was great to meet you and Indranil in Edinburgh and I hope your trip to Scotland was everything you had hoped for. Did someone get to take home the whisky - that is the question!
