Orkney inspiration

This was my first ever group holiday. We spent 6 days on Orkney. Everything about the tour was wonderful, the organisation was great, but not so rigid that it couldn’t be adapted to the groups needs and preferences, there was plenty of time to spend at each place we visited so you never felt like you were being hurried on and off a minivan. The walking was great fun, the group leader spent time with each of us to help improve our technique ...

The walking was great fun, the group leader spent time with each of us to help improve our technique and fitness. Her love of the country was evident and infectious. I will definitely be back for more.

The Wilderness Scotland team are professional, friendly and efficient. There’s a lot of planning that goes in to making these holidays work and their commitment to continuous improvement is apparent. They exceeded my expectations in every domain. I am also impressed with their commitment to environmental and social issues.

Wilderness Scotland has really done a wonderful job of ensuring their clients have the best possible holiday. There was not once that I thought “they could have done better”. Our guide, accommodation, and food were all top notch.

Walking in Knoydart

We stayed at Doune, which is very remote, on the Knoydart Peninsular and only accessible by boat. A big attraction of this holiday was the fact we had to use a boat to get to several of the islands where we were walking. The accommodation was rustic but perfectly adequate and the food was excellent as was the guide and the countryside.

Wilderness Scotland were extremely well organised, providing an excellent and accurate brief on the trip and the kit required. The guide was outstanding in his professionalism, knowledge of the area and wildlife which he passed on and he was also very safety conscious.

Fantastic Wilderness with Traditional Scottland

My husband and I had a fantastic time exploring Lewis and Harris with Wilderness Scotland. The vistas (when we saw them through the traditional Scottish weather) were amazing and very different from other places. I am so happy that we booked with Wilderness Scotland and I do not think our guide or the accommodations could have been any better. I would highly recommend Wilderness Scotland for anyone thinking of booking of a trip here.

Mark was a wonderful guide. He was very helpful and knowledgeable about wilderness skills and equipment use as well as about the the local area's geology, history, and current state. His wealth of knowledge seemed unending and he was what I would consider a top-notch guide.
