Greetings,
Does anyone know if the ‘Test Drive a Tour Guide’ event, previously held in Edmunds prior to COVID, will be returning in 2023? We attended in 2020 and really enjoyed it.
Thanks in advance for any info,
Ellen
I can't find the post at the moment, but the answer was no for January 2023.
(Did the forum's search function disappear? I cannot find it no matter how I search.)
I was referred to an earlier thread when I posted the same question a few weeks ago. Answer: no for 2023, maybe for 2024.
Is that the same as or part of the tour reunion? If so that other post is under tour reunion if you search for it. -

Here's the post that made it sound like a definite no.

That is a bummer....was hoping to re-connect and test drive Scotland! LOL
Here is a link to a recorded presentation by a guide on Scotland from the past. Not the same, but pretty close to what you were looking for.

and here is one by Rick

Rick's videos give a pretty good idea of what will be on his tours. Match then up to the itinerary.
As far as guides go, there is no certain way to know who your guide will be.
