We rented Gandalf – the Grey Campervan from Chris for the second half of August 2023. We spent two weeks driving Gandalf the campervan there and back again from Edinburgh to Isle of Skye, along NC500 and the Eastern coast of Scotland, to Edinburgh. The campervan was very clean, mechanically sound, and well equipped with all utensils that may be needed, and ready for adventure with tank full of diesel, ca. 30 litres (tank + container) of water for drinking and dish washing, and gas cylinder for cooking. Chris provided us with new and warm bed lining, which was great for cool Scottish nights. The Gandalf drives smoothly and handles windy conditions, steep ascends/descends, and curvy roads very well. It is a short version of VW Transporter, which is great for manoeuvring narrow single-track roads in the North and helps with finding parking space in busy places. The fuel tank is generous and lasts for several hundreds of miles, so we were on a safe side when exploring the North Coast. We travelled as family of three, and a double passenger seat in the front row was very welcome. Chris is very responsive, always on time, and very helpful with all arrangements. He showed us how to safely operate all the systems of the Grey Wizard-van before we set for Highlands. We could always contact him if needed. Everything was flawless. We highly recommend him and the Gandalf campervan for Scottish adventures! August 2023

First and foremost, the van rental experience itself was seamless. The vehicle was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the essentials needed for a comfortable journey. We were actually recommended this van by one of our neighbours who had also taken a trip in it! Chris was very helpful and was able to provide us with all the information and support we needed to get started on our journey. We brought our dog, Rowan, along with us, and she settled into the van life very well! We took the van on a small tour of Dumfries and Galloway as well as the Scottish Borders. The flexibility of travelling in a rented van allowed us to venture off the beaten path. Whether it was parking up next to a serene loch, enjoying a picnic with a view, or simply pulling over to watch the sun go down over the sea. The van allowed us to stop and take moments we would never have considered before. We'd be happy to rent this van again and would easily recommend Gandalf to others. July 2023

Chris was a fantastic host very thoughtful and responsive! Gandalf was also amazing and had everything needed for a great camping holiday 🙌🏼 we would 100% recommend hiring from Chris! June 2023

Chris was quick to reply and very helpful in assisting me along the way with the process of hiring. He handed over a nice clean fan with a full tank and gave clear instructions on how to operate all of the functions. Gandalf (The campervan) was a nice relaxed drive and the perfect size for touring our highland roads in comfort. I'd definately reccomend Chris and would hire again. Thank you Chris. June 2023

Gandalf a été un excellent compagnon de voyage. Maniable, souple, suffisamment petit pour passer sur toutes les routes étroites des Highlands et suffisamment spacieux et bien équipé pour être confortable. Que dire de Chris? He is so nice ! May 2023

We had a wonderful trip with Gandalf. Exploring the beautiful scottish highlands was an absolute treat and the van had everything we could have asked for. Add to that Chris' amazing hospitality, kindness and forthcoming. We would definitely to this again and can highly recommend it! May 2023

Chris, thank you for letting us take Gandalf away to Skye. It was our first camper van adventure and we had an excellent trip. Gandalf was perfect for us. You taking the time to explain how to get the best from him was very helpful, and we felt at ease as you described how you wanted us to enjoy the experience. Thank you. We have no hesitation to recommend to others. Rich & Em. April 2023

Our experience with Gandalf has been overall amazing! Both the van and it’s owner revealed to be extremely kind and gentile, satisfying all our needs and more! Chris is a very gentile soul. He did everything he could to make our trip more comfortable, arranging an Edinburg pickup, and warm comfy blankets for our cold Scottish nights. As we got into the van, everything was clean and in order, very carefully kept and treated, which was a beautiful foreshadows of how much we would have enjoyed our travelling experience. The van was very comfortable and easy to handle! For two drivers not experienced in UK roads, this vehicle helped us at least on the mechanical aspect of the experience, not causing any problem, and on the contrary, being extremely manoeuvrable. Thank you Chris and Gandalf for this experience! We’ll see each other again if the occasion will arise! 😌 September 2022

Many thanks to Chris. Chris is super friendly and extremely helpful. We also kept in touch during the trip. We had a great time in Scotland and can recommend the VW T6(Gandalf) to everyone. Gandalf has everything you need for a trip through Scotland. We will book him again when planning a second trip to Scotland. Greetings Sascha August 2022

Greta and I took Gandalf for a 10 days trip to the Highlands and Skye. The van has worked perfectly, it's equipped with all the necessary and well organised. Chris has been nice and helpful since the first contact. We absolutely recomand him and the rental of Gandalf for your adventures, it has been a true fellow of our journey and we already miss it so much! August 2022
