What our guests have said about us
“Donald MacKenzie and Clan MacKenzie Routes made our trip the best European Vacation I’ve ever had. Donald is charming, knowledgeable and thoroughly professional. His personalized service catered to our many wants and needs allowing us to enjoy truly worry-free travel every minute of our ten-hour day.

“If you want a tour of Scotland, just hop on a bus. Pick any bus - they are all pretty much the same: you and 40 or so strangers stop at predetermined locations for a predetermined amount of time, listen to a canned narrative and then move quickly on to the next location. But, if you want to EXPERIENCE Scotland with someone who will customize your visit to your specific interests, share his love of the country’s rich heritage, amaze you with the depth of his historical knowledge, entertain you with anecdotal hilarity, belt out the lyrics to Loch Lomond with you while driving through the Highlands, play Scrabble with you in the hotel lounge (letting us use American English words and teaching us new Scottish ones like ‘chank’), and leave you with countless memories of an unforgettable journey, then the only choice is Donald.”
