"Testimonials"

"I had the difficult job of putting together a golf trip to Scotland for a total of eight of my golfing buddies.  One of my biggest concerns was transportation.  No one wanted to drive, and the size of the vehicles was a big problem. While making a study of sites and putting together plans I came across Rowan Travel's name. I contacted Steve Mackie, and from that time on my job got a lot easier. He helped me with routing, itinerary and even places to stay. When we arrived he was always prompt and professional.
He made everything go smoothly. His van was large and comfortable. All eight of our group was in agreement, Steve was great! I would not hesitate to use Steve again or recommend him to friends!"

Steve,

"Thanks very much for all you did to make our trip to Scotland so enjoyable.  That was my first visit over there and hopefully I will get the chance to do it again someday.  I appreciate your efforts and kind hospitality.  Enjoy the remainder of the summer . . .I hope the good weather has continued for you since we left.  Thanks again."

"To whom it may concern,
I just wanted to tell you that Rowan Travel was one of the finest companies I've ever delt with. I was a little apprehensive on not using a travel agent to put our trip together. The combination of Mr. Ferguson's book and your knowledge of Scotland made it much easier to sit back and enjoy the trip. I hope you are proud of the company you have created and the company you keep. Tommy was incredible. He was willing and able to help us and was very entertaining. We all commented on making a friend for life with him.
We will see you in a few years to tackle the other courses.

God bless, Stuart Tillery" , June 2008


"The transport service we received from Steve Mackie and Rowan Travel was exactly what we wanted: prompt, professional and reliable.  And, Steve is a pleasure to deal with and knowledgable about the golf courses, pubs and restaurants.  No doubt having his experience and local knowledge helped make our trip the great experience it was.  Everyone in our group was on their first trip to Scotland.  Everyone wants to go back soon.  And everyone would be thrilled to have Steve at the helm again."

"I have been running golf trips to Scotland and Ireland every year for the past 10 years and Steve and his crew are by far the best of the best!  They are knowledgeable, courteous, friendly and willing to go the extra mile to make sure your trip goes smoothly.  On our last trip with Steve we had 12 golfers that played 36 holes a day on 8 different courses. We changed hotels five times and drove all over Scotland. Steve's crew handled everything perfectly and the coach driver even went as far as to arrange our dinner reservations and showed us sights along the way."

"When planning my golf trips to Scotland, I don't want to worry about transportation.  That's why I use Steve Mackie from Rowan Travel.  Steve is professional, knowledgeable, and always on time.  My group and I could not recommend him highly enough.
After having planed and arranged several golf trips to Scotland, I have learned to stick with what works.  Steve Mackie and Rowan Travel are your best bet for all your transportation needs.  When asked for a tip on transportation by other groups headed to Scotland, I don't just recommend Steve; I insist that they use him.  I know they will be delighted with the result.
Hope all is well on your end.  Can't wait till we get there in August.  I will be in touch around July to finalize the logistics.  Looks to be a hell of a good trip!"

"We used Steve Mackie and Rowan Travel , best suggestion of the trip. Steve was professional, courteous, on time, and, most important, knew where he was going. Post trip, to a man, the group highly endorsed the use of a driver. We could have never operated as efficiently as Steve did, especially when we had to get from a morning round that ran late to an afternoon round. He also took care of restaurant reservations and kept the hotels informed as to late arrivals. "An absolute gem."....Craig Brass: Plymouth MI , August 2006


"Steve and Rowan are excellent.  You wont find a company with a better host and more comfortable transportation.  Steve knows every highway and back road in Scotland and also includes points of interest (distilleries/castles/etc.).  He takes care of everything along the way.  We had a guy on our trip whose mother had a heart attack and Steve drove him 150 miles roundtrip to get him to the airport for a trip home and was back at our hotel to meet us for our our tee time at 7:30 in the morning.  I have traveled with Steve on three trips in the past three years and will be making another trip with twelve guys next September.  I cant recommend him highly enough. "

"On our groups most recent trip to Scotland, we used Steve Mackie and Rowan Travel for our tour bus. Prior to the trip I asked Steve for referrals. All of those referrals said that Steve Mackie and Rowan Travel had been an integral part of the success of their trips. Our group, likewise, found that Steve Mackie and Rowan Travel helped make our trip  Steve was professional, courteous, efficient, knowledgeable, pleasant, and most importantly, a contributor to the fun atmosphere of the trip. I would not consider putting together a golfing trip to Scotland without Steve Mackie and Rowan Travel. "

"I have used Steve Mackie of Rowan Travel on two occassions on travel to Scotland.  The first time I brought my daughters and grandchildren to Scotland to memorialize their Scottish grandmother's life.  Steve took us everywhere we wanted to go on a weeklong tour of the Scotland I knew.  He was knowledgeable about Scottish history and stories, and took us backroads to see many sites - and to shop! - off the beaten tracks. The second trip with Steve and Rowan Travel was when I brought a group of 8 American friends on a "girls' road trip."  The success of our travels was due to his good nature, willingness to lug our bags, and his ability to enjoy the company of a group of girls out to just have fun.  I'm looking forward to my next trip in March 2008 when I'm bringing another group on a trip following "The Road to the Isles."  I would never consider a trip to Scotland without having Steve help me plan my itinerary and be our driver.  Highly recommended to individuals, and small and large groups for whatever reason you take a trip to my homeland. "

"Tommy was friendly, helpful, funny and always had a smile on his face. He went out of his way to do things above and beyond the call of duty. When people ask me how my trip was to Scotland the second thing I tell them about is Rowan Travel and Tommy, the first is the beauty that this land holds, the golf was a by product. I would never suggest that anyone take a trip to Scotland without Tommy and Rowan Travel as their guides.
 
To a man everyone speaks highly of Tommy and wish him all the best, please pass on these sentiments to Tommy."
 
Sincerely,  Jim Whitton

 

"I wanted to let you know our trip was a huge success, we enjoyed the golf and especially the company of your driver, Tom Ferguson. Tom made our bus rides much more enjoyable, and without a doubt, he is a huge asset to your company. Not one time did he complain, or make any fuss about moving luggage, driving us here or there on the way to our course, not one complaint from him the whole week, just laughs and smiles and a wealth of local information. Our group was always on time to our destination because he was always on time, and without a doubt, a wonderful person to be around. He made our trip one that I will never forget. Sincerely, "

"Our trip in April and May was the best.  I can easily tell any of my friends to spend the extra money and have your company provide transportation services.  My entire group liked the idea that we could relax, talk or sleep and not worry about directions, where to get gas and how to find the courses.  When we come back we will use your services again!"
Best,
