Road Cycling - Outer Hebrides Traveller Reviews

Great scenery, wonderful leaders, organized, prompt, fun, good company, great accommodation and food, lots of laughs, great cycling, lots of hills, quiet roads with no traffic, personal attention

When ever we made an inquiry over the phone, we received a live person to talk to, our we quickly received a call back. Maps and GPS computers provided were good, and helped with tour navigation. I hadn't used a GPS computer before, and would consider buying one for myself. Everything was as expected from the company.

We cycled from the Island of Barra to the Butt of Lewis - the entire island + some cool spots along the way. We were a group of 8 cyclists, with two tour guides.

Wilderness Scotland did a fantastic job from start to finish. We felt comfortable and supported the entire way, and we really enjoyed the cycling experience and group dynamics!

Excellent bike, nice hotels and good food, riding across 3 Scottish Islands. In May, we were mostly lucky with the weather and wholly midge free. V helpful and informative guides added interest about geology, history, plants and animals. My bike had no technical issues and was always ready to go each morning, but it was good to have a backup van each ride in case of emergencies.

I went with Wilderness tours. Communications around booking were good, I had a full itinerary and info was clear. There was a slight delay being met on day 1 due to an admin error, but otherwise the arrangements, support, and practical arrangements were all as described. I found the tour environmentally aware, but in most cases we ate local food, supported local jobs and learnt about local environmental issues

Outer Hebrides road cycling trip. Breath-taking scenery, fabulous food, wonderful tourmates and fantastic guides.

Fantastic company who worked with us during Covid and we finally got to take the trip on the third try- Very responsive and helpful and beyond ethical.

Guided trip on road bikes along the entire length of the Outer Hebrides, from Vatersay to the Butt of Lewis. Fantastic scenery, wildlife, and an overall sense of adventure on the journey. What a trip!

WS make this type of adventure trip their own. Very well organised, no sense of glitch or panic, even when there are ferries to catch and other minor logistics problems to deal with. Just unflappable.

The trip was a wonderful introduction to the islands of Scotland. It was challenging, interesting, and packed full of beautiful views and kind people. I enjoyed how the terrain changed and how each island differed from the other.

Wilderness Scotland thought of every possible detail and made this one of the best experiences of my life. They were professional, warm, fun, knowledgeable and well-prepared. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Wilderness Scotland - excellent in all respects.

Contrasting scenery between the various islands in beautiful weather with the challenge of the cycle. Accommodation and food were all very acceptable.

Wilderness know what they are doing. Their sub contracted guide Neil was excellent.

The Outer Hebrides is a special place and a great place to cycle. Even though the weather was harsh at times, logistics and excellent and knowledgeable guides , and a small group, made this an excellent place to have a break from everyday life

Helpful, informative and excellent information pre trip
