Wilderness Group Ltd Traveller Reviews

The holiday consisted of walking, island hopping and visiting archaeological sites in a group of seven unknown companions and a guide. The fellowship promoted by the guide and by the spirit of the islands and the islanders lifted this holiday into the realms of perfection. Together we learned to know and love an unknown land and tasted the magic and mystery of this Ultima Thule. Inspirational.

The tour operator/guide listened to all individual view points and accommodated these to appeal to the needs of all. Consultations were open and frank and ensured that the holiday worked for all of us. He also added a most affecting dimension to the walks in that he occasionally read an appropriate poem during breaks.

First rate, with everything well planned and organised. The guide, Zoe, was excellent too.

Efficient, knowledgeable and on the ball with everything.

The trip itself was well thought out and used local experienced guides to bring to life the local environment. I was new to sailing but the crew took their time to explain to the novices what was needed and showed us how to do it. We soon became accustomed to sweating and tailing the ropes! The walks on the different islands were all varied terrain and it gave us a chance to absorb the local fauna and flora up close. Overall it was an excellent holiday in fabulous Scottish sunshine!

From start to finish, travelling with Wilderness Scotland was a dream. Pre-trip details were handled with excellent customer centric service and during the trip everything ran perfectly. All slight changes to the itinerary (no wind to sail) were communicated clearly in advance with the team, and alternatives were provided. This is my 2nd trip with Wilderness Scotland and I can't praise their customer centric focus and the quality of the trips they provide. They know exactly what to do and are true professionals! I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to get off the beaten track and explore the Highlands from different points of view i.e. sailing, walking, kayaking, cycling.

Great trip with a great company. We mountain biked across Scotland and had just a fantastic time passing through the countryside and small towns.

Wilderness Scotland is one of the best guided and outfitted tour companies I've ever used.

We had a weeks cycling in the Outer Hebrides. It was superbly organised with 2 excellent guides. the bikes were very good and help was always on hand if any queries arose. The transport, food and accomodation were all excellent. No negatives at all. Our trip was enhanced further by beautiful weather and not a single drop of rain.

I have had many self guided and also guided activity holidays and would rate this trip with Wilderness Scotland as one of the best. There was excellent organisation throughout the trip, the equipment was very good, the guides listened to any wishes we might have to take a detour/stay a bit longer at any one place- they were really superb. My dealings with the tour operator were easy and they were responsive to any queries that I had before the trip.

7 days walking and island hopping in the Highlands of Scotland. Really well organised trip with plenty of great walking and history plus fabulous accommodation and great food

They are always cheerful and helpful and really enthusiastic about their trips. Never had any trouble with them, I have now been on two of their trips

I had a unique and wonderful hiking trip into the Knoydart Peninsula with Wilderness Scotland. The hikes were well guided - our guide was thoughtful and very thorough and had a real love of nature. The lodge was welcoming and accommodating - an off the grid experience with amazing food and wonderful care for their customers. A great experience overall.

The guide was fantastic - so considerate, with extensive outdoor experience and attention to detail. He also had a fantastic sense of humour!

A brilliantly conceived and executed holiday - real wilderness, accessed by private boat, from a comfortable base location. It's hard to describe the dining experience: better than homely, nicer than rustic, definitely wholesome, local, fresh, very generous. Would love to go back sometime - and that's rare for me.

just excellent

It was amazing!

Helpful and nice

It was a lovely trek through Scotland. We stayed at some very nice B&Bs and country Inns. They had very good accommodations and their breakfasts were wonderful. It was 6 nights of lovely hosts!

They were very available to help us out at all moments, even the weekend! It was nice to know they were out there for us, we didn't need them except for a couple misunderstandings by the accommodation, they never have hosted trekkers and presented us with our bill. No big deal, taken care of with a quick phone call. And our luggage was not picked up and brought to our next destination, but again, a quick phone call and our luggage showed up within a half hour.
