The West Highland Way fulfilled every one of my dreams about seeing the Scottish Highlands. It was wonderful that all the accommodations and luggage transfer were reserved for me ahead of time and all I had to do was just walk up! Everywhere I stayed was run/owned by such nice people and I never had a bad meal!

A UK trip was high on our bucket list and, thanks to Expat, our trip was better than we imagined it would be! We felt like VIPs on every excursion. The hotels were excellent and every meal provided was delicious. We are still in awe of the amount of "wow" we fit into one trip! Our guide, Peter, was knowledgeable, professional… and funny! Chris, our driver, was an expert who enabled us to sit back and enjoy the beautiful scenery between stops. This was our first trip with Expat, but if definitely won't be our last!
