A great day out on the Tweed. Craig from Biggar Adventures was an excellent guide for the trip and full of stories and info. A very relaxed trip thanks to him. Equipment all Old Town canoes in Good condition. A great intro to the Tweed Canoe trail.
This was a fantastic experience for my son and I on his 13th birthday. The sun was shining, the view was stunning and Craig was so friendly, organised and patient, it made the whole experience really special. Thank you so much. The rest of the family want to come next…
We were a family of four and wanted a relaxed but fun experience and we got it. Craig was patient and really helpful, especially with a low river and getting stuck. We had fun, lots of chatter and laughter.
Craig was great - engaging, knowledgable and funny. He coped very well with a large group of widely varying abilities!
Great day canoeing. Craig was very helpful. Very good experience.
Caitlin was fantastic really helpful, patient and calming would highly recommend
