Wilderness Scotland has a very professional team both at the office and on the trip, excellent organisation and very attentive.

My trip was The Wilds of Assynt in May. This was one of the most well organized and enjoyable walking/hiking trips I’ve been on. We had a small group of 4 plus a fabulous guide. He was a perfect mix of fun and professionalism and he 'wrangled" us with ease and good humor. Some of the walks were more challenging than others, but the order in which we tackled each hike was perfect. Suilven was a highlight, and fortunately we had a perfect day. I’m 61 and in good shape, and I found I could do all the hikes at a steady pace. Our guest house in Ullapool was wonderful, very filling, good quality sack lunches and dinners in local restaurants were quite tasty. We had dinner on a sailing yacht that was amazing. I highly recommend Wilderness Scotland and will travel with them again. I’m already thinking about when and where.

Exceptionally professional and responded very quickly to my questions. Details were very organized while we were on the tour.

I took a hiking trip in Assynt and it was an amazing trip with an excellent guide, accommodations, food, everything was all stat.

Wilderness Scotland runs a great organization. Highly recommended!

6 day Hiking trip to the Assynt region of Scotland. Hikes were 4 - 8 hours in length and up to 900 meters of elevation gain. Due to fortunate weather, we had Incredible panoramas views of lochs and the sea. Comfortable accommodations near Ullapool overlooking Loch Bloom.

Guided trip by Wilderness Scotland. Guide was professional, engaging and very knowledgeable about outdoors.

A week walking in the Wilds of Assynt with an exceptional guide called Billy. We were lucky with the weather and the views were stunning. Billy was brilliant at keeping the group together and seeing to every one's needs. He was funny and knowledgeable and took really good care of us both on the walks and in the evenings. The walking was well paced and challenging. Throughout the food was excellent and we went to several different restaurants so there was also good variety.

Wilderness Scotland were efficient and keen to give good client experience and satisfaction. A very well organised and smoothly run holiday.

A great week of walking in the northwest of Scotland, scaling the heights of Suilven, Stac Pollaidh, Cul Mor, and experiencing the beautiful beaches, waterfalls and the Summer Isles.

Wilderness Scotland were organised, professional, and knowledgeable. They put together a highly enjoyable trip.

I went hiking in the beautiful Assynt, Scotland.

The Wilds of Assynt. WOW! Just go. If you have even the tiniest feeling it might be something for you. Let me tell you, it is! It’s beyond anything my words can describe to you. This was my first hiking trip and my first visit to Scotland and it has kindled a great love for both the hiking and the country. Most likely thanks to the lovely group I was part of and our very capable guide. Wilderness Scotland knows what they are doing, everything from booking accommodation, finding nice places to eat and most importantly choosing which trails to walk. Nothing seems coincidental. Every day is something new, both to see and to feel under the soles of your feet. And don’t worry if it rains a little. The gray sky only enhances the beautiful colours of the scottish flora around you and the flow of water makes the landscape come alive both visibly and audibly. There is so much to see, so don’t let the rain stop you! This was only my first adventure with Wilderness Scotland and I am definitely coming back.

This summer it was a week walking in the Northwest Highlands (Scotland) - being outdoors for several hours a day, coastal walks as well as hill hiking. Excellent accomodation, very good food.

Easy communication, helpful staff, uncomplicated, very good organization, very appealing philosophy.

Wilds of Assynt is six days of "moderate" challenge day hiking run by Wilderness Scotland. We experienced a variety of both mountain and moorland hiking, marveled at the fantastic Highlands scenery from all elevations and also had a chance to explore some of the towns of the Highlands, such as Ullapool and Lochinvar. It was perfect for the hiker who doesn't mind climbing a few hundred meters in the occasional wind and rain to be rewarded with fantastic panoramas when reaching the top.

Wilderness Scotland conducts well-organized tours and our guide was truly stellar. We were booked into a good quality and very functional hotel for the week. The cost was very reasonable and appropriate. I would not hesitate to recommend Wilds of Assynt or any other tours run by Wilderness Scotland.
