Walking - The Wilds of Assynt Traveller Reviews

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.

It was a great experience perfectly managed

Very professional and always present

Each hike was a unique challenge, and the sights were incredible. Our group was a great size (six people), and the food exceeded all expectations. We also loved our accommodation, which offered a comfortable room with a view.

Our guide was great, and a good fit for our group. He was knowledgeable and quick on his feet, adjusting plans to suit the group’s needs. He really knew the area and shared a great deal of local knowledge and history with us as well.

Challenging hikes each day to spectacular views. Our guide kept us safe while sharing his obvious love for the countryside through his expert know.edge of geology, flora and fauna, and local history. He is well known and liked in the area based on the congenial greeting received by those hosting our hotel and the restaurants we went to.

I spent 6 days in the Assynt area of Scotland with Wilderness Scotland. All the walks offered views of the coast and were a challenge but the highlight of the week was ascending Suilven on a sunny day. It was a tough climb and I'm so proud that I did it and was rewarded with wonderful views from the top and a real sense of achievement. We stayed a mile out of Ullapool and being away from urbanisation for a week was so relaxing. The guesthouse was lovely and the group of walkers on this holiday were good company. An excellent week with wonderful weather and walks.

Wilderness Scotland were excellent. The lady tour guide was friendly and professional and paced the walks well and listened to the group. She worked hard and was always cheerful.

One of my best holiday experiences! The hikes, the accommodation, the food - all were fantastic. The guide was so knowledgeable and helpful.

The tour operator was helpful and knowledgeable. They provided all the information that I needed and were available to answer any questions that I had. I would recommend this tour operator!
