Excellent Orkney walking tour

A week’s walking holiday in the Orkneys - expertly organised and delivered by Wilderness Scotland. I am very impressed with their customer service and the way every detail of the trip has been thought of by them.

From the very beginning their communication to me before the trip was very clear and they were quick and helpful in answering any questions I had.

We've travelled with Wilderness Scotland for a number of activity holidays including walking, canoeing, kayaking and cycling. They continue to impress, especially in their management of a group holiday in this particular reopening phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Best way to discover Orkney

A walking holiday in a small group which was well planned to get the best of walking, birding and cultural history of Orkney. Well planned busy days which also us on ferry trips to smaller islands got us back in time for a relaxed evening. Lovely hotel with great food at an all inclusive price meant that once we met in Inverness our only decisions were about which drinks and souvenirs to buy :)

Breath taking hikes on ancient Isles of Scotland

This thoughtfully curated hiking excursion was an inspired blend of ancient landscapes, nordic ruins and Pictish culture found in remote vistas. I am grateful to have been introduced to Scotland's outstanding visual landscape with Wildness Scotland's intimate group tour. Rarely seeing other tourism groups provided a unique experience to learn about Scottish history and landscape at a organic and personalized pace.

Gordon Anderson is an exceptional tour guide. His thoughtful insights and wisdom about Scotland provided an inclusive group experience where each persons needs were met, if not exceeded. From Latin names for flora/ fauna and sea birds to his customized impromptu whiskey tasting, Gordon is a delight. No matter the weather Gordon is optimistic. His genuine pleasure being outdoors and sharing his country with visitors is inspiring.

Stunning Orkney walking trip

As a group of friends travelling from Australia we took a week long walking trip with Wilderness Scotland to the Orkney Islands. The entire trip was fabulous. A relaxing mix of walking, sightseeing and eating. We enjoyed every minute.
