Self Guided: West Highland Way by Al and Noreen, 6 Oct 2023

Excellent West Highland Way self guided walking tour

We had an absolutely enjoyable experience despite the finest Scottish weather that was thrown at us. We managed to book our trip during the middle of a severe weather front that provided cold, blustery conditions throughout the week. There was a day or two of sunshine but aside from that every day was full on rain gear and warm clothes. The scenery was beyond any imaginable expectation.

We had an absolutely enjoyable experience despite the finest Scottish weather that was thrown at us. We managed to book our trip during the middle of a severe weather front that provided cold, blustery conditions throughout the week. There was a day or two of sunshine but aside from that every day was full on rain gear and warm clothes. The scenery was beyond any imaginable expectation. I reluctantly put my camera away as each new turn brought forth stunning images. We planned for every weather condition and were very glad we did. The Highlands are an area that should be seen by all. Even late in the season, there were a fair number of walkers but, we never felt the trail was too crowded, most days we were all alone on the trail.

We booked through Wilderness Scotland. They provided excellent communication, direction and follow up, before, during and after our trip. The accommodations were first rate and exceeded our expectations. Daily summaries were provided for each town and included turn by turn directions to our B&B/Hotel. Restaurant options and whether or not reservations were suggested or required. Local hospital/healthcare information with contact information. A brief historical account of the areas we would be walking in. During trip contact information. We most highly recommend Wilderness Scotland for your trip/planning needs.

Rain, Rainbows, and Hiking Fun in Glencoe and the Highlands

Seven day/six night hiking adventure in Glencoe and the Highlands. The weather was horrendous and still we had a great time due to the knowledge, flexibility, and determination to create wonderful experiences for everyone by our outstanding guide. Lovely hikes around Perthshire, a boat trip up the Inner Hebredes, followed by some hiking in Glencoe. Great food every day. A wonderful trip.

Wilderness Scotland. We chose them because we wanted a local company and they offered great value for the cost compared to some other companies. We were not disappointed! The trip was well designed, planned, and executed despite some miserable weather. Our guide was outstanding and made adjustments to ensure we all had a great time despite the weather.

Walking - Argyll & the Isles by You didn't tell me that earlier! Carodavo, 25 Sep 2023
Holiday Rating:

More stunning and interesting than I had anticipated with a great mix of history, current cultural and economic aspects of areas, and space and isolation. It's rare, as an Australian, to get that sense of space in a small place like the UK. Excellent

As above (sorry, it's 12.40am, and I'm running out of steam. It was brilliant. Best holiday I have had in years, and best tour ever!
