Walking - The Orkney Isles Traveller Reviews

We were impressed by all the attention to detail. Every aspect was well thought out and each of our walks were breathtaking.

Wilderness Scotland has really done a wonderful job of ensuring their clients have the best possible holiday. There was not once that I thought “they could have done better”. Our guide, accommodation, and food were all top notch.

Used Wildnerness Scotland, the package and their guide were excellent. Best tour I have ever been on .

Great detail prior to and during the tour. Professional guide with excellent local knowledge of the locations visited.

Top class on all of the above.

Annoyingly perfect! That's being flippant about a super holiday organised be a TOP CLASS company.

A very well organised walking holiday in the Orkneys, combining fresh air, archaelogy, excellent food and an extremely comfortable hotel with the servies of a truly excellent guide.

Sent lots of useful information beforehand. No complaints whatsoever

The trip involved exploring the Isles of Orkney from a single base in Kirkwall. Cory, our guide, was superb, and took us on walks and to archaeological sites on a number of the islands. Every logistical consideration was taken care of, from booking ferries to retrieving a guest's jacket left behind in a restaurant, to collecting another guest's suitcase at Kirkwall Airport after it had been lost at Heathrow. I would have no hesitation in recommending Wilderness Scotland to others.

Wilderness Scotland were at all times professional and helpful. The advice before the trip was clear; my queries were answered immediately.

A fantastic week. This small group tour worked well for us. The professionalism & enjoyment shown by our guide ensured a truly wonderful & educational experience. I have learnt so much about the bird life, ancient history, geography plus other cultural aspects of the Orkneys. A truly amazing experience & would actually like to return to the Orkneys for a longer look one day

Everything about Wilderness Scotland was perfect. The pre-trip info, & the actual experience. The small group size meant the group quickly became close and remained that way. Our guide was fantastic & we learnt so much from him about so many aspects of Scottish culture, geography, history & ancient history. We felt very well looked after

Walking on Orkney and on islands - terrific history - no glitches - wonderful scenery culture, history and FUN - great group

Excellent attention to detail and pre-planning

Wilderness Scotland organized a hiking tour and it was fantastic. From my very first inquiry to the trip itself, everyone was helpful and friendly. The guide, Tim, was wonderful. He found out what we were all interested in and tried to tailor the trip to our preferences. He was so knowledgeable on Scottish history, archaeology and wildlife and native plant life. The hotel in Kirkwall was gorgeous and this was an amazing trip. I would recommend Wilderness Scotland to anybody.

Wilderness Scotland was easy to work with. They answered every email in one day and never made me feel like I was bothering them with my questions. I always had helpful friendly responses to my questions. Everything was so organized and I felt I could relax.

Great holiday in Orkney, combining walking, history, culture, wildlife and fabulous scenery. Well structured to pack as much in as possible, without feeling rushed.

Brilliant!

This holiday was more than anyone could want. Walking along sea cliffs and fields was an experience in fully embracing the outdoors. Add to that great food and fascinating historical sites made this the complete package.

Wilderness Scotland is excellent. All the details of travel and special requests were handled with efficiency. In addition we were treated to local information and experiences that only they could provide...Dinner at a restaurant with 5 tables requiring advanced reservations, live music at a local cafe...The knowledge of the guide was amazing.
