Knowledgeable and kind tour guide. - We were on a tour of the British Isles. We did tours at every stop. Our tour with Mandy was our favorite. We saw Shetland ponies, puffins, and unbelievably beautiful landscapes. Mandy was knowledgeable and kind. She obviously loves Shetland and is excited to share it. If you can only do one tour, this is the one!
