Hello John & Brigitte,
I have enjoyed looking at the photo CD -- thanks for sending it. Today I've been daydreaming and visiting the Wildcat website, and it was a nice surprise to see the description of the Celtic Tour, complete with some (familiar-looking!) photos."

"John and Brigitte, we want you to know that our Scotland Coast-to-Coast tour had everything a great adventure needs: a cast of lovable (and quirky) characters, an incredibly beautiful backdrop (Could all that scenery have been real?), and an easy-to-follow plot (ride, eat, ride, eat, ride, have a pint, sleep; repeat). Bravo!!"

"John/Brigitte
Would love to come on another tour- Best tour and best company I have ever participated with- great memories. I can still see Robert the Bruce coming over the mountain at us. And will never forget the cattle coming at us in the blinding rain at the top of a mountain pass- Brilliant!"

John and Brigitte, we want you to know that our Scotland Coast-to-Coast tour had everything a great adventure needs: a cast of lovable (and quirky) characters, an incredibly beautiful backdrop (Could all that scenery have been real?), and an easy-to-follow plot (ride, eat, ride, eat, ride, have a pint, sleep; repeat). We were so sorry to see it end that we have decided to opt for a “double feature” next time — 2 tours instead of 1! Bravo!!'
