The travel agency described you as "excellent English guide with much experience, intelligence (Gentleman!)" What they did not mention was "good sense of humour, brilliant ideas, strong nerves, strong will (you got up that hill) etc." I do thank you for your great help and support and for 2 unforgettable days in London. So, dear Gentleman, thanks again. Sabrina, (with an Austrian Incentive Company)

Thank you for driving and guiding us all over the country. You were the perfect man for the job. I'll remember this trip for ever.

A & K made a good choice for us when they hired you. Henrietta Sexty, California

We would like to thank you very much indeed, Peter, for all the trouble you took with this after all the last minute hassle . . . It was REALLY appreciated.

We all thank you so very much for guiding us through your beautiful country. Your professionalism, patience and sense of humour were appreciated by all of us. In addition we enjoyed your companionship. We were very comfortable with you as a part of "The Family Hurff" Harold Hurff, Pennsylvania

Thank you for being such a dedicated and attentive tour director. . . giving us an enjoyable and memorable journey. I thoroughly enjoyed the material you presented during the tour. Personally it was very refreshing for me to hear a truly educated Englishman speak the English language . . . You've a great sense of humour. My deepest gratitude to you for sharing this wonderful experience with us. You made it possible and, Peter, you made my trip. Kate Snow, California

I particularly want to commend our tour guide. Mr. Peter Jamieson. I've often thought that keeping track of a group of tourists and keeping them amused at the same time must require an unusual combination of talents. Peter proves the theory. He was knowledgeable, most entertaining, very helpful with suggestions for extracurricular activities, and handled our physical arrangements so smoothly that it looked easy. He's by far the best we've had in our three cruises with you. From a letter to Royal Viking Line from James H. Lavery, Jr., Florida

You were helpful, extremely courteous, and kind to the "old folks". Your wit kept us cheerful and alert; and your commentary and "history" lessons were great. My wife especially enjoyed your selection of music William and Geraldine Cook.

Your quick wit and abundant knowledge joined with your wonderful sense of humour have enhanced my holiday immensely. Thank you for your time, talent, patience and hard work. Joan Bujold, Canada

You are an excellent guide who mixes knowledge with just the right amount of humour and seriousness. You helped greatly in making our first trip abroad one which we will always remember with great fondness. The Wilkinsons

Your wonderful English wit and priceless stories about history truly made each of our tours delightful. Ordinarily I hate bus (oh excuse me, "coach") tours but thanks to you, each one was a special treat. You are truly in the right business. Irene & Bill French.

Your efforts have helped us to create some lasting - and fond memories of what has been one of the most successful programs in the past decade. Evert De Wyn III, General Motors Corporation, Detroit

Thank you, Peter for bringing England's past into the present - in living color! With humour, kindness and good driving. Dot Franklyn & Fred Blaicher, Florida.

Thank you for the wonderful, informative, amusing facts and anecdotes you shared with us. You are a terrific guide and made our first trip to England very special indeed. Edward J Paquette, Director, Alumni Relations, Northwestern University

We are so grateful to you - you really made our trip. It worked out perfectly. Day after day we were together and we enjoyed every minute, due to your diligence, thoughtfulness, kindness, good driving, good car, attention to detail - and delightful personality. You were very perceptive about our feelings in every way. We think about you often, and we love to talk about the gardens - these are recollections to cherish for years ahead. Molly & Fred Fisher, Ohio (Sent with a copy of their journal)

The KION-TV trip was perfect . . . you were the reason, Peter! You are England's greatest ambassador and diplomat . . you made London and Scotland live fondly within us for all our years.
