Tout s'est très bien passé, que se soit avant ou pendant la location. Chris est attentionné, très réactif dans les échanges et apprécie de rencontrer de nouvelles personnes. Le van (Gandalf) est très bien équipé pour une famille de 4 personnes. L'Écosse est parfaite pour un séjour en van. Je recommande Chris pour une aventure en Écosse. August 2025

We had a fantastic week long adventure in Gandalf in Scotland! The van is easy to drive and has everything you need. Chris has thought of it all. I loved all the personal touches in the van. I particularly enjoyed reading the log book, which contains journal notes from everyone’s experiences when they hire the van. We both also enjoyed using the printer in the van to capture a few memories from our holiday. Scotland is such a beautiful place and we were so lucky to experience a fab aurora one of the nights we were there. We also saw wild stags and deer which was amazing. The views are just stunning where ever you go in Scotland, I can’t recommend it enough. October 2024

We had the best time renting Gandalf during our 2 week adventure around Scotlands NC500 in October! Chris was great to deal with and super helpful and all the extras in the van were so well thought of! Would definitely recommend!! We would love to rent again when we come back in the future September 2024

Chris is really kind and helpful with any questions! He makes his best to organise the perfect stay on the van. The van description and photos on the website match the real situation. I highly recommend him and Gandalf☺️🚐 September 2024

We had a fantastic two weeks away in Gandalf exploring the west coast of Scotland! Gandalf is easy to drive even in the narrow Scottish roads, and well kitted out with everything you need. Chris and Ali are so kind and easy to communicate with. They thought of everything. Would definitely recommend and hope we can make it back up to the Highlands again in Gandalf! August 2024

Chris was a lovely host who went out of his way to accomodate our needs and ensure that our family had a memorable and magical trip. We are so very appreciative for his time and generosity, and would highly recommend ‘Gandalf’ to any fellow travellers. It was an extraordinary way to tour Scotland with two young children who didn’t want the trip to end (likewise for the adults), and we would have extended our adventure if we had had the time! We booked the van from our home in Australia and the whole booking and travelling process was seamless and very straightforward. ‘Gandalf’ comfortably slept the four of us (the kids loved the bunk in the roof) and was a delight to drive- a perfect size for narrow roads but also to park in busy towns. Chris is a incredible communicator and promptly responded to any questions we had and we always felt supported on our trip. I also emailed Goboony with some questions and it was great company to book through. Thank you Chris and Gandalf-already dreaming of our next trip! June 2024
