Road Cycling - Outer Hebrides Traveller Reviews

Simon and Findlay, our amazing guides, took us through the rural island of the Outer Hebrides with lots of knowledge and accommodation. The bike routes were well structured and took us through beautiful scenery of the islands. The hotels were nice and, with the help of our guides, the meals were on time even if we were not. This will be a vacation I will remember for a long time. I'd love to book another holiday with Wilderness Scotland.

Wilderness Scotland seemed to have a great system down. It is hard to distinguish between our guides and the tour operator. Our guides were excellent and could call on the office to take care of things very easily. They had plenty of good equipment, relationships with the hotels and restaurants, and knowledge of the area.

A unique and memorable experience

Excellent organisation before and during the holiday

6 days of cycling through the magical outer Hebrides, a region I would never have otherwise discovered.

Wilderness Scotland are a very professional and competent organisation who know their territory. Their guides treated us like royalty. It would have been impossible for us to have organised, booked the ferries and first class accommodation ourselves. We are enthusiastic repeat clients of Wilderness Scotland and look forward to future adventures with them.

Great trip from planning and throughout with excellent, bikes, good accommodation and excellent support

Excellent, pricey but worth it - great ethics and service

Great scenery, wonderful leaders, organized, prompt, fun, good company, great accommodation and food, lots of laughs, great cycling, lots of hills, quiet roads with no traffic, personal attention

When ever we made an inquiry over the phone, we received a live person to talk to, our we quickly received a call back. Maps and GPS computers provided were good, and helped with tour navigation. I hadn't used a GPS computer before, and would consider buying one for myself. Everything was as expected from the company.

We cycled from the Island of Barra to the Butt of Lewis - the entire island + some cool spots along the way. We were a group of 8 cyclists, with two tour guides.

Wilderness Scotland did a fantastic job from start to finish. We felt comfortable and supported the entire way, and we really enjoyed the cycling experience and group dynamics!

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

Outer Hebrides road cycling trip. Breath-taking scenery, fabulous food, wonderful tourmates and fantastic guides.

Fantastic company who worked with us during Covid and we finally got to take the trip on the third try- Very responsive and helpful and beyond ethical.

Guided trip on road bikes along the entire length of the Outer Hebrides, from Vatersay to the Butt of Lewis. Fantastic scenery, wildlife, and an overall sense of adventure on the journey. What a trip!

WS make this type of adventure trip their own. Very well organised, no sense of glitch or panic, even when there are ferries to catch and other minor logistics problems to deal with. Just unflappable.

The trip was a wonderful introduction to the islands of Scotland. It was challenging, interesting, and packed full of beautiful views and kind people. I enjoyed how the terrain changed and how each island differed from the other.

Wilderness Scotland thought of every possible detail and made this one of the best experiences of my life. They were professional, warm, fun, knowledgeable and well-prepared. I would recommend them without hesitation.
