Road Cycling - Outer Hebrides by Belle, 29 May 2023
Holiday Rating:

Beautiful cycling routes in interesting places

Excellent bike, nice hotels and good food, riding across 3 Scottish Islands. In May, we were mostly lucky with the weather and wholly midge free. V helpful and informative guides added interest about geology, history, plants and animals. My bike had no technical issues and was always ready to go each morning, but it was good to have a backup van each ride in case of emergencies.

I went with Wilderness tours. Communications around booking were good, I had a full itinerary and info was clear. There was a slight delay being met on day 1 due to an admin error, but otherwise the arrangements, support, and practical arrangements were all as described. I found the tour environmentally aware, but in most cases we ate local food, supported local jobs and learnt about local environmental issues

Quite enjoyable

Accomodation and food excellent. Some aspects of the walking could have been better, eg leader's route-finding

Information pre departure was very good. On the walk, info provided to the leader could have been better

Sweat, laugh, inhale, near retina-burned by beauty

I loved the physical challenge, the fortunate mix of camaraderie with fellow trekkers and experienced trip guide, Ian Johnston, and the achingly beautiful views. We trekked on Arran Isle, highlighted by a searingly bright day up Goatfell. At the top, viewing faraway Ireland, misty oceans, and other landforms miles and miles away was incomparable.

Ian Johnston's experience, razor wit, skill, and strength (carried a huge pack with walking sticks, extra gloves, first aid, etc) helped make this trip incredible. He was a good judge of human nature, calm, skilled at accessing our physical abilities, and very sensitive to the needs of the trekkers (bought us fresh fruit!). He offered help, and useful tips on how to best scale some of the more challenging scrambles. He took time to talk to everyone in the group individually and told wonderful stories and related local history.

Amazing sea kayaking trip in Torridon

I really rate Wilderness Scotland. Incredibly competent guide who helped us feel we were in safe hands and also encouraged us to engage in the wild and beautiful Scottish landscapes. Came away with a lot. Ore confidence in kayaking and more than anything a love of Scotland. What a breathtaking part of the world!

Walking - The West Highland Way by Carol B, 17 May 2023
Holiday Rating:

Perfect trek on the WHW

It was probably the hardest thing I've ver done, only because it was hours of hiking every day, but I really had no doubt that I'd be able to do it. Great guides, like-minded group of fellow trekkers, logistically easy. Food and accomodations way above average

Wilderness Scotland made the trip planning painless. Everything was taken care of, and they gave great advice on getting to the start and then returning back to Glasgow
