Easy! Just get in touch with Jim and tell him what you would like to do, then the planning and preparation can start. Because of the many different aspects to a bespoke trip these are priced on a trip by trip basis.

“Biking with Jim was truly a highlight of our Scotland trip. Jim's extensive knowledge of the area and expertise meant he could cater the trip to various experience levels, allowing all of us to have a good time. It was fun to get away from the touristy things and see Scotland from a local's perspective. Jim welcomed us like old friends and had a ton of recommendations for our further travels - which helped us immensely! Jim's energy and enthusiasm for life is palpable. This tour was one of the first things we did in Scotland and started our trip on a high note. I've already recommended this experience to friends!”
