Our guide was a wealth of knowledge, and our accommodations and food in Orkney were wonderful.

I've just returned from my 2nd trip with Wilderness Scotland, The Orkney Islands. It was a fabulous trip with a perfect mix of walking, history and archeology. Our guide was a wealth of knowledge, and our accommodations and food in Orkney were wonderful. The trip was well organized, and our guide and the company went above and beyond when there was a problem with the ferry back to theScottish mainland. We were all impressed. Group sizes are capped at 8 participants, and that's a perfect group size for walking. You can find this exact trip at https://www.wildernessscotland.com/adventure-holidays/wilderness-walking/orkney-isles/ I highly recommend it or any other Wilderness Scotland trip that looks good.

Incredibly responsive and accommodating, particularly since our trip was canceled twice due to COVID. Wilderness Scotland worked hand in hand with our travel group to make the trip happen and give us an amazing experience.

Alan Wright of Wilderness Scotland was our guide and he was exceptional. His knowledge of Scotland and passion about sharing his knowledge made the trip so much better than if we had tried to do it ourselves.
