The guides were first class.

The guides were first class. Everything went like clock work even though the weather wasn't the best. The bikes performed fautlessly. A good trip, would do it again with these guys.

The best way to hike the West Highland Way

The guide was great - he was knowledgeable, patient, caring and had tons of funny stories to go along with the history of the area. The accommodations were nice - clean, comfortable and had helpful staff. The food was good and plentiful (even walking the 100 miles don't expect to lose weight). It was everything I expected and will definitely use Wilderness Scotland for another trip in the future.

Very enjoyable holiday with an outstanding tour leader in Joe. Minor criticisms would be meeting time at Inverness Station for 10.30am could have been earlier and the itinerary did not include the names of the hotels where we were staying.

I don’t know where to start

I don’t know where to start. The landscapes were stunning. Our guide was terrific; knowledgeable about the history of the areas we visited and the flora and fauna. The accommodations were excellent and the meals were great.

The hiking scenery and topography were much more impressive and beautiful than I expected. Our guide Susie was organized informative and took great care of us and judged our ability well annd pace was perfect. And she was a great driver.
Lots of added stops- besides highlight places such as standing stones, weavers and distillery were great
The food was exceptional and the lodgings very good
Even though it rained a lot it didn’t take away from the experience and in the way it was handled

Hiking the Hebrides

Our hiking trip was fantastic and exceeded my expectations! Our guide was great, vistas were beautiful, every detail was organized and attended to. The extra visits to Harris Distilleries and Rebecca the weaver were amazing. Our dinner at Flavour Restaurant was exceptional! I will be back!

Good Time

Great food. Great places to stay. Clean with comfortable beds. Great guides who were encouraging and positive. Challenging bike route with lovely climbs and screaming descents. Unbelievable scenery. Just a plain old good time.

What a beautiful country

What a beautiful country. Thanks to Wilderness Scotland staff for the knowledgeable sharing of it, and caring for it. I had a wonderful ride on the NC 500. Highly recommend!

Fabulous trip!

Fabulous trip! The guides were wonderful; friendly and so knowledgeable. The trip itself was fun and varied, with plenty of flexibility depending on the weather. The accommodation was warm and comfortable, and the food was a particular highlight! Would absolutely recommend this trip, even if (like me) you’re a complete novice kayaker.

Wilderness Scotland created a wonderful vacation

Wilderness Scotland handled all of the details of logistics, accommodations, and food - all we had to do was to enjoy the West Highland Way. Our guides were amazing. Craig and Scott were skilled, knowledgeable about history and the ecology of the area, and always reassuring and helpful. We had a fabulous vacation and will be traveling with Wilderness Scotland again.

West Highland Way

Excellent trip with 2 very knowledgeable and fun guides, Scot and Craig whose passion for Scotland was palpable. Walking (sometimes hard terrain) through beautiful scenery for up to seven hours a day, it was so nice to have comfortable and clean accomodation each night and not have to think about food for the evening or the next day!
Would highly recommend this trip. Excellent!
