Guided cycling through spectacular and varied Scottish Countryside.

A guided cycle trip from Inverness to Edinburgh on minor roads with two guides and a support vehicle, included cycling over the Cairngorms, and was interspersed with cultural visits. Small friendly group of 8 clients. Overnight accommodation in good b&bs and small hotels. The guides have good local knowledge and are friendly and supportive.

Wilderness Scotland is a small, friendly and locally responsible operator. It arranges supported activity holidays in Scotland for small groups and it looks after its clients very well.

Wilderness Scotland offer the opportunity to explore out of the way areas of Scotland beyond the range of the usual tourist destinations and provided me with the chance to visit this remote and beautiful area.

A challenging walk with highly rewarding views

We were provided very good information from the tour provider for the West Highland Way. Having a light day prior to the 18 mile day was a very good idea, and we were blessed with weather we could not even have dreamt of. Accommodations and food were much better than anticipated, with some very lovely hosts and rooms.

Excellent and safe introduction to winter mountaineering skills.

I found this Wilderness Scotland 'Winter Skills' holiday to be friendly and well-organised. With an excellent and experienced guide I was able to see some fantastic scenery and get a first taste of walking with crampons and ice-axe. The accommodation and food were very good too. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone wanting a similar experience.

Winter Walking in Cairngorms with Wilderness Scotland from 11-Mar-2015

The holiday was great fun, I learnt a lot, the guide, accommodation, food & walking were all superb. The walking was strenuous - so may not be for everybody - but was a superb experience.

The Winter Highlands: North West by Feral, 12 Mar 2015

Winter Walking - The Winter Highlands North West

This trip piggybacked the Winter Walking Cairngorms the previous week. The North West Highlands walking was a fascinating insight into the variety of weather the west coast of Scotland can deliver. It opened my eyes in terms of what the locals and guides consider acceptable weather for outdoor activities, I loved the irrelevance of the howling gale and driving rain, one just gets on with it!!.

I selected two walk tours offered by Wilderness Scotland, coming from half way around the world to do the trips they confirmed my bookings despite not many other people booking. As it turned out there was only 3 on one walk and two of us on the other. The fact that Wilderness Scotland honoured the bookings really impressed me, other operators may have cancelled the trip(s).

Wilderness Scotland's winter walking in the Cairngorms.

Rating for tour operator:

Wilderness Scotland advertised a number of winter walking options that tantalised. Easy short walks at the end of the winter season that would showcase the best of the Cairngorms to the uninitiated. The number of places offered was perfect for small group travel and ensured their guide was engaging with all participants.
