Wilderness Scotland Traveller Reviews

I spent a week sailing the Eda Fransden around Skye and had the best week of my holiday. I participated in crewing the boat, hoisting the jib, reefing the mainsail, learnt heaps of history of the Scottish Isles, hiked over uninhabited islands, ate the best food provided the the ships cook and met great people from all over the world. Absolutely amazing time.

The crew of the Eda Fransden were fantastic. I thank Wilderness Scotland for providing this excellent tour.

I did a hiking tour with Wilderness Scotland for a week. It was incredible and I had an amazing time

They were great in making all the arrangements and answering any of my questions or concerns

The islands were a beautiful place to ride and the experience was wonderful. Everything was well-prepared as to let us enjoy the cycling. I especially loved the ferry trip to Iona Abbey and the gorgeous coastal ride later that afternoon on Mull. The lodgings were lovely and I was extremely well fed even being a total vegan. The guides were wonderful people and the bikes were good quality and safe. This was one of the best trips I've ever been on in 30+ countries!

Wilderness Scotland obviously put great thought and care into the itinerary, routes, lodgings, and food. We had the greatest guides, Neil and Al, who made the experience so rich with their humor and knowledge on the passing flora, fauna, landmarks, and history. It felt like riding with family and they pulled out all the stops making sure we were safe, fed, and comfortable. I 100% would recommend this operator to anyone looking for a Scottish holiday and am considering going back again myself to another trip.

We saw different parts of the highlands in different ways - sea kayaking, canoeing, boating, biking, hiking. Such a great variety of adventures and perfect for our whole family - we all loved it from grade schoolers through adult.

They were a pleasure to work with - everyone we interacted with was great.

An organised tour of the Islands with guides and accommodation provided

Highly experienced , clearly knowing their target market with great service and local knowledge.

It was a one-week trip. We stayed in one place the whole time (excellent hotel in Kirkwall) and went out by van and ferry to various locations for day hikes of 5 to 10 miles duration. We saw breathtaking scenery, important archaeological sites, and a wide variety of flora and fauna. Our guide was excellent and the trip planning was flawless.

Wilderness Scotland was excellent (see above).

From the moment i was collected from the start point of the holiday till the final drop off point, the guide did everything to make sure my experience was exactly what I wanted. I was lucky I was in a small group, where our personal preferences were taken into account in the itinerary. If possible, the guides included extra excursions or substituted more suitable destinations that suited us more. The guides certainly made our trip the wonderful experience it was. They were knowledgeable, friendly, intelligent, experienced and quickly became wonderful friends. The trip itself included a different type of terrain every hike. It was great to hear about the geology, botany and history of the many places as we hiked, with lots of time to stop, touch and ask questions about what we were seeing. The accommodation was always to a good standard and staying a minimum of 2 nights made it more relaxing once we returned from a day out hiking. The food, from the packed lunches to the breakfasts and dinners at night, were more than enough and often to a gourmet standard. I absolutely loved everything about my holiday. The people, beautiful landscapes, luxury accommodation, generous and tasty meals, fun experiences and wonderful memories.

Wilderness Scotland are a very professional organisation. Right from the initial contact, enquiring online, they kept in touch answering any questions and keeping me informed of booking developments. The guides couldn't speak highly enough of Wilderness Scotland as an organisation to work for.

Wilderness of scotland

A wonderful opportunity to experience the dream-like beauty and natural wonders of Scotland by transversing the country from coast to coast, light-house to light-house, enjoying stream crossings, heather covered hills and thick forests by day and quaint local lodgings and cuisine by night.

Wilderness Scotland has proved to be a top-notch organisation with not only professional, but kind and caring employees, from its office workers to its field guides and support staff. The warm embrace of Wilderness Scotland spoiled us with its pampering care, allowing us to concentrate on the ride, the views and the adventure, with never a worry about the mundane.
