Self Guided: West Highland Way Traveller Reviews

Bucket list to do a multi day walk in Scotland

Wilderness Scotland were very helpful in meeting our needs and providing useful advice on planning the trip. When the time came to embark we had all the information we needed and every check in went smoothly.

We had an absolutely enjoyable experience despite the finest Scottish weather that was thrown at us. We managed to book our trip during the middle of a severe weather front that provided cold, blustery conditions throughout the week. There was a day or two of sunshine but aside from that every day was full on rain gear and warm clothes. The scenery was beyond any imaginable expectation. I reluctantly put my camera away as each new turn brought forth stunning images. We planned for every weather condition and were very glad we did. The Highlands are an area that should be seen by all. Even late in the season, there were a fair number of walkers but, we never felt the trail was too crowded, most days we were all alone on the trail.

We booked through Wilderness Scotland. They provided excellent communication, direction and follow up, before, during and after our trip. The accommodations were first rate and exceeded our expectations. Daily summaries were provided for each town and included turn by turn directions to our B&B/Hotel. Restaurant options and whether or not reservations were suggested or required. Local hospital/healthcare information with contact information. A brief historical account of the areas we would be walking in. During trip contact information. We most highly recommend Wilderness Scotland for your trip/planning needs.

We used Wilderness Scotland to arrange an eight-day self-guided tour of the West Highland Way.

Very well organized; prompt responses to emails; excellent materials and trip notes.

We loved it. The hiking was challenging but never dangerous or scary. The weather and scenery were amazing. Perfect adventure.

Well organized, felt well cared-for but also independent. They did a great job -

Wilderness Scotland took great care making sure we had all the info we needed

An 8 day walking holiday - walking the West Highland Way in Sept 2021 with B&B/Guest House/Lodge/Hotel accommodation and bag transfers

Very responsive, efficient providing all the information and accommodation required to provide a wonderful experience. Simple, hassle free provision of all services

We walked the West Highland Way. Postponed due to Covid. When we finally were able to travel (from the US) our trip was spectacular. It would not have been nearly as good without the assistance from Wilderness Scotland.

Wilderness Scotland is top-of-the-line. They are professional, highly experienced, and excellent at what they do.

It was so great to have all the details taken care of for us so we did not have to worry about those things and instead just concentrate on the adventure itself. Having our accommodations set up for us by people that know the places was wonderful. We had a most excellent trip/adventure and would like to say thanks to Wilderness Scotland for their much appreciated assistance.

Wilderness Scotland took great care of us and they were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend them.
