A great day of shooting made easy!

January 10, 2025

Ian and Alex made our experience very easy to organise. We requested a driven shoot for 8 guns at relatively short notice at the busiest time of year. The team at River and Green scoped a number of shoots, accommodation and transport options and were able to sort out a phenomenal day for us.

Perfect trip with a 5-star service

December 12, 2024

Came across River and Green when booking a long weekend trip to Edinbrugh.

R&G offered excellent service and made the weekend care free and a lot of fun. Both Ian and Alex are very responsive and flexible to changes in trip.

Highly recommended!

Outstanding hands-on service from River and Green

Alex and Ian are very hands on and professional.

I have only positive things to say about Alex who was always available both before, during and after our trip to answer question or amend our adventure.

I met CEO Ian Wells who drove two hours to deliver bad news about the high water, murky, river conditions from excessive rain, and his recommendation not to fish. The fact that he personally drove out to deliver that news and offer alternatives speaks volumes about their customer care .

If your touring, fishing, bird or stag hunting River and Green is a perfect local partner to address all your needs.

They successfully navigated days a field, culture, fine dining and accommodations. Bravo !!

Would consider working with you again and recommending you to others

Alex/Ian –

Thank you for this request. The following are some reflections on our experience working with River & Green and the trip itself.

• You and Ian provided excellent support and service as we went through the process of considering our trip to Scotland and adapting to our various needs and changes. I don’t think we have worked with any travel company more responsive. It helped tremendously in both convincing us you were the right people to work with and in our confidence regarding the trip itself.

• We thoroughly enjoyed experiencing all aspects of Scotland, from the highlands, to Edinburgh, to the borderlands. It is truly a beautiful country.

• Overall, our accommodations were excellent. However, the Edinburgh hotel was a bit of an outlier. Given we were traveling with a lot of luggage, having to go to a higher floor to check in was a bit of a struggle. The hotel was not particularly helpful in volunteering assistance to get luggage to our rooms. The attendant on the group floor was very nice, but his job apparently was not to actually assist people in getting to check-in. Otherwise, service was generally good and they were helpful in our efforts to recover an item we left behind in the highlands.

• The tours arranged by River & Green were wonderful.

• The driver you arranged for us was fantastic — informative and very accommodating.

• The fishing experience at the loch was excellent, despite the last minute location change. The weather did not cooperate particularly (after all, it is Scotland), but the guides/guiles were excellent — very much focused on helping assure we had an enjoyable experience.

• This was, unfortunately, not the case when we spent two days on the river. The guide seemed to take to an extreme the idea that we wouldn’t need much assistance. While we all fly fish a fair amount, the absence of any guidance on flies or fishing approaches was surprising and one got the impression he viewed his role as simply providing us access to the water. I believe he is an acquaintance of Ian’s and my comments are not intended to disparage. But he really did not provide for a positive experience.

• The worst of our experience was arranging for rental cars. River & Green indicated this should be arranged through our other travel agent, which we did. But it was truly a nightmare — finding the rental car locations, accessing the location, returning the cars was all a very negative experience (time consuming and frustrating). None, for example, would deliver or pick up cars at the hotels at which we were staying. Contrast this with our experience in London where the company brought the cars to and picked up the cars from the hotels at which we stayed. Perhaps the rental car ‘challenge’ is why River & Green does not deal with them. But, if you could replicate the English experience, though, you would create high customer satisfaction.

My final comment is that we were surprised not to hear from anyone at River & Green during our stay or for an extended period after. It would have been a nice touch to contact us early on to welcome us and assure everything was proceeding well and then following up within a few days of our return. It would have complemented the nice, personal touch we felt working with you in the set-up process.

All the above being said, we would consider working with you again, should interest arise, and recommending you to others. Hopefully, the above will be received as constructive input for future consideration.

With best regards,

Kathy L.
