A Beautiful Walk

The guides made it! I learned so much about the land and the people while hiking some of the most beautiful Scottish countryside. The terrain was challenging at times, but the rewards were epic.

Wilderness Scotland worked hard to make sure that I was fully prepared for this trip. The materials they sent, including the packing list and day by day itineraries, were invaluable.

Fabulous hike on the West Highland Way

8 days walking and hiking was liberating for me. Walk with my friend and I can truly say we laughed the whole way. Had some tough days but we still managed to find the fun in it despite some pain.

W. Highland Way with wilderness Scotland was fantastic

This was the seven day guided hike of the W. Highland Way. It was a fantastic adventure, and wilderness. Scotland did a nice job in supporting the group throughout. We had two professional guides that were very good about setting pace and making sure that everyone was comfortable. The food and accommodations were good, and wilderness exceeded expectations..

Craig was a fantastic guide. He combined excellent technical skill with a funny interactive storytelling style that made for an educational and amusing trip. Craig has a lot of personality and was a professional guide in every sense of the word. We greatly enjoyed his company.

an achievement with pleasure

15 relative strangers were guided through 96 miles of mixed terrain over seven days. We learned about hiking, aspects of Scottish culture and history and were pleased with ourselves for having completed the hike and for having had good fun in doing it.

The tour operator was organized and covered all aspects from accommodation, transportation, food and lodging and especially in providing two excellent guides: Andy Heald and Joe Mann. They are expert hikers, group managers, representatives of Scotland and the U.K. and a pleasure to hike with.

A fabulous hike on the West Highland Way

I had an amazing time hiking the West Highland Way through Wilderness Scotland! It was challenging but invigorating and rewarding, and I met so many great people. The highlands are beautiful, and it was an incredible week.

Fabulous ! (even if very, very rainiy !!!)

Good hiking. Faboulous landscape. Two extremeky nice hotels; one absolutely disastrous, the rest average Very authentic pubs. Scotland is obviously not the place to look for perfect lodging and excellent food, so don't hesitate to book the finest accomodation if you can. It's worth it. Overall, the people are quite nice and the landscape is absolutely breathtaking. It's worth it.

The operator still has to fix a very bad experience at one of the Inns. We still expect a reaction from him. If he reacts positively, we will be able to say that everything was (nearly) perfect. If not... well... he would be just average. This is why it's "only" a 6 out of 10 for the time being. It could climb to 9 - 10 !!!
