Walking: Uists, Barra & Mingulay Traveller Reviews

A great introduction to the Outer Hebrides; guide knowledgeable, unflappable, sense of humour. good variation of activity so learned a lot about the area in a short time.

All questions answered efficiently - good to talk to a real person!

Great trip , activities every day , it was good to have everything taken care of and one could enjoy experiencing the moment

Great prompt replies sorted problems

This was an excellently run trip and even more impressive you Wilderness Scotland arranged for us to have quite wonderful weather - living in Texas the daily 60 degrees was a treat in itself. I can't say enough about our tour guide. She was so well organized always ensuring we had everything we needed. And her knowledge of the flora and fauna were stunning – when asked I don't think there was ever a species she didn't know about. She was a very impressive driver, never flagging while driving on those narrow roads that required your 100% attention. The three hotels were all excellent, I enjoyed the Polchar and Castlebay hotels the best because they were bigger so had more people (and very nice bars) than the Hamersay House but all three hotels had very comfortable rooms and excellent food. Our walks were all spectacular with great scenery, a perfect pace, and never overtaxing. I definitely want to take another Wilderness Scotland tour!

Superbly organized tour with a top notch tour guide.

Southern Outer Hebrides, everything about our trip was just about perfect: guide, operator, food, accommodations. All wonderful.

Wilderness Scotland did an all around great job!

Travel through Uist, and Barry. Daily walks and visits to places of interest along the way.

Wilderness Scotland look after you form start to finish - booking is easy and supported. The trip was incredible and our Guide was knowledgable, supportive and developed a spurt trip.

Walking in North, South Uist, Eriskey and Barra

Organised holiday totally from Inverness and returning to Inverness and covering accommodation, transport, walks on the Uists, Eriskay, Barra.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience in fabulous weather conditions, apart from the midges, perambulating down from North to South through the southern half of the Outer Hebrides / Western Isles / Long Island and finishing in Cal Mac's home port of Oban. Not inexpensive but worthwhile; just be aware of the possible extras in cost ( I am a Scot) and time.

Wilderness were very well organised and coped very readily with all the postponements (x3) that were forced on me by COVID. They did seem a trifle expensive, albeit I have not done any equivalent holiday elsewhere before, and the non optional extra jacket purchase were not really welcome as was the non inclusion of some meals on the trip. I hope they pay their guides a good salary as they are worth it.

We visited North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist and Barra, walked on perfect silver beaches and rocky headlands, took a boat trip and saw wild life including seals and eagles.

We went with Wilderness Scotland. Booking was easy, our questions were answered promptly and our tour guide/driver was cheerful, knowledgeable, helpful and efficient.

Just an amazing experience!

Wilderness Scotland deserves excellent ratings!!!

Great combination of hiking time and relaxing time. Amazing variety of scenery and difficulty.

Patient. Fun. Passionate about her country and the outdoors.
