Keith Miller

Keith really was a superstar in both his knowledge and enthusiasm, he went out of his way to look after us all and was so thoughtful in providing such a beautiful birthday cake on the ferry to Islay
So impressed he managed to get that in his back pack !!

We had a great trip

Keith was so knowledgeable & helpful, he made the trip really enjoyable despite the weather!

Keith took a lot of trouble to plan the days’ walks and suit the preferences of all of the group. We also learned plenty about geology, land management and biodiversity, and it made me aware of how much of my geography degree I’ve forgotten…….

Great knowledge of the area, the animals and trees and flowers. Great group leader trying to make everyone feel comfortable.

Keith did a great job explaining in detail the botany and wildlife and ecology of the areas that we walked in. He also planned our routes to take advantage of the great weather and give us a range of terrain to experience 9and some extra Munro tops!). It was great to have Struan with us too, as he made a couple of routes possible for us by running or cycling ahead to fetch the van, so we didn't have to do the last hard miles on tarmac. It was nice to see Keith and Struan being inventive like this to make the trip better for everyone, and it was really appreciated.

Dedicated to the task and brought us to the best of what Shetland has to offer. Keith spent much additional time answering incidental queries that we were asking. His knowledge is encyclopedic. He took the whole event up a gear and made it much more enjoyable and valuable.

Keith was a brilliant leader, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I am not a great bird watcher but he was always able to answer my questions about what I was seeing. He made a special effort to get us to Sumburgh for our early morning departure flight. He adjusted the plan for the week to cope with the weather conditions and the differing needs and abilities of the group.

Keith is very knowledgeable about birding and the environment. I appreciated the way he offered itinerary changes, due to weather, etc.

Keith Miller was exceptional . His knowledge of birds and fauna was fabulous and he shared it with the group that made us more knowledgeable by the end of the holiday .We really appreciated the time he took to show us birds and tell us bits of information on their habits etc . He really showed his love of nature He kept us on track but at all times discussed possible options . Keeping a group of holidaymakers together and happy is a hard task but Keith did it with apparent ease He's an absolute asset to your company

Keith was amazing. He understands the need to keep the group together and balance pace with abilities. I appreciated his gracious style and knowledge he shared.

I don't know how you can manage when you have clearly identified the physical expectations of the hikes. It was frustrating at points to have to slow down and compromise for hikes due to some team members lack of preparedness. Keith managed this process with great professionalism... and I tried to not be too much of a poopy pants about it.

Keith was phenomenal when it came to the environment. He was very knowledgeable regarding the geology, flora and fauna and he was an attentive and experienced hiking guide. Even though this is a "outdoor sport" tour, I would have enjoyed a bit more insight on the culture/history of the places we visited, but I don't think that's Keith's area. We had the good fortune to have Rupert from the corporate office join our tour. He was very personable and kind and a great complement to Keith.

Keith was an excellent guide with a warm personality

Keith Miller was the ultimate guide. His thorough knowledge of the flora, fauna, terrain, history, and land management issues of each place we visited is truly outstanding. We hike independently in the U.S. and take many self-guided trips abroad; but this trip would have been very difficult and much less enjoyable without a guide of his caliber. This trip is an outstanding value. For those of us used to hiking in national parks in the U.S., the British trail systems appear very difficult to navigate with so many private property access restrictions and the general absence of signs. Mr. Miller was always well prepared with weather forecasts, multiple maps, and an unerring sense of where to go and what we might experience. He was also very flexible and tailored the itinerary to the weather and our interests -- immediately identifying birds by their song and plants by both their Latin and English names en route. He even provided us a complete list of these at the end of the trip. Outstanding is the only word to describe his knowledge, experience and expertise as a guide!
