Walking - The Orkney Isles Traveller Reviews

A fantastic week. This small group tour worked well for us. The professionalism & enjoyment shown by our guide ensured a truly wonderful & educational experience. I have learnt so much about the bird life, ancient history, geography plus other cultural aspects of the Orkneys. A truly amazing experience & would actually like to return to the Orkneys for a longer look one day

Everything about Wilderness Scotland was perfect. The pre-trip info, & the actual experience. The small group size meant the group quickly became close and remained that way. Our guide was fantastic & we learnt so much from him about so many aspects of Scottish culture, geography, history & ancient history. We felt very well looked after

Walking on Orkney and on islands - terrific history - no glitches - wonderful scenery culture, history and FUN - great group

Excellent attention to detail and pre-planning

Wilderness Scotland organized a hiking tour and it was fantastic. From my very first inquiry to the trip itself, everyone was helpful and friendly. The guide, Tim, was wonderful. He found out what we were all interested in and tried to tailor the trip to our preferences. He was so knowledgeable on Scottish history, archaeology and wildlife and native plant life. The hotel in Kirkwall was gorgeous and this was an amazing trip. I would recommend Wilderness Scotland to anybody.

Wilderness Scotland was easy to work with. They answered every email in one day and never made me feel like I was bothering them with my questions. I always had helpful friendly responses to my questions. Everything was so organized and I felt I could relax.

Great holiday in Orkney, combining walking, history, culture, wildlife and fabulous scenery. Well structured to pack as much in as possible, without feeling rushed.

Brilliant!

This holiday was more than anyone could want. Walking along sea cliffs and fields was an experience in fully embracing the outdoors. Add to that great food and fascinating historical sites made this the complete package.

Wilderness Scotland is excellent. All the details of travel and special requests were handled with efficiency. In addition we were treated to local information and experiences that only they could provide...Dinner at a restaurant with 5 tables requiring advanced reservations, live music at a local cafe...The knowledge of the guide was amazing.

This trip was everything promised by Wilderness Scotland and more. Planning and logistics were excellent - all we had to do was show up in the morning and take in all the beauty and interest around us. Beautiful part of the world, full of historically interesting things to see, wonderful walking along sea cliffs, excellent food and accommodation, competent, interesting and entertaining guide. It could not have been better.

Wilderness Scotland was the tour operator. There were no surprises other than things being actually better than advertised. Everything went smoothly thanks to their excellent planning and logistical skills. They are friendly, helpful, and very competent.
