An excellent experience

We hiked the West Highland Way, 8 days of hiking with one day of rest. We did a self-guided tour with Wilderness Scotland that allowed us to travel at our own pace each day to reach our pre-arranged destination. It was an excellent experience from the pre-trip interactions with them to the accommodation and luggage transportation aspects of the trip. Each destination provided excellent accommodation, generous and friendly hosts and great food...

We hiked the West Highland Way, 8 days of hiking with one day of rest. We did a self-guided tour with Wilderness Scotland that allowed us to travel at our own pace each day to reach our pre-arranged destination. It was an excellent experience from the pre-trip interactions with them to the accommodation and luggage transportation aspects of the trip. Each destination provided excellent accommodation, generous and friendly hosts and great food. We booked two years before our trip which had to be rearranged twice due to Covid restrictions. The company was very accommodating around rebooking as needed. The service was excellent and the trail information provided really helped us along the way.

Rating for tour operator:

Same info as above in the 'about your holiday' section. All in all it was an excellent trip made better by excellent service. I have already started recommending the company to friends who are interested in the same trip.

Lochs, moors and munros

Trekked West Highland Way in group tour of 16 with 2 guides and Great Glen Way in self-guided tour. Unbelievably sunny skies and cool breeze in mid-to-late-April. Trees just budding out and too early for midges. Hikes that followed the lochs were stunning.

Rating for tour operator:

Professional, patient, informative & LOCAL! If you're going to book with a tour operator, whether group tour or self-guided, go with a local company that knows the terrain, weather, and local "customs." Wilderness Scotland is the real deal. Highly recommend them.

Group hike of the West Highland Way

A group of 16 plus guides hiked the West Highland Way in 7 days. It was an amazing experience, especially so because I never had to worry about anything the whole trip.

West Highland Way Adventure

Two mature widows (75 and 78) walked the entire 96 miles self guided. The accommodations and bag transfer went off without a hitch, allowing us to fully enjoy our entire holiday! We are already planning another one.

Very responsive at all times. We booked in 2019, could not go in 2020, could not go in 2021 and finally got to go in April/May of 2022. This was our first adventure with Wilderness Scotland and we were very impressed with them. The trip flowed faultlessly. I am looking forward to the next adventure with them.
