“The walking tour was an unexpected gem of my visit to Scotland! Gerena is very knowledgeable about history of the sacred land of Luss and delivered it in an engaging way. We had a lovely connection with each other, to the land and our ancestry. I look forward to returning.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our tour through Luss. It was at the tail end of our adventure through Scotland, and it gave us a chance to ask our burning questions while also learning about the area of Luss. Gerena thoughtfully tailored information for us both my husband and I are interested in the Macfarlane Clan’s history. We are leaving Scotland with a much more robust understanding, eager to return.”

“Gerena gives an amazing tour. You can see her great intelligence, love of history and culture and all things Scottish. It is a transformative experience to spend a couple of hours with her, especially in the magical beauty of Loch Lomond and surrounding fields.”

“A fantastic tour with Gerena which we would highly recommend to anyone staying in or visiting Luss. We learnt so much about the fascinating history of Luss which really helped make what a beautiful place come alive even more. Gerena also had lots of tips and advice for other things to do and see in the local area which we really appreciated. We hope to be back soon!”
