Wilderness Scotland Traveller Reviews

We hiked some rugged and beautiful mountains in the Nortwestern part of the Highlands. The name of the tour, The Wilds of Assynt, fits the description of what we did. We hiked, went on a natural history boat ride, learned about flora and fauna, geology, history in the surroundings we were in. The group was small enough for all of us to get to know each other and enjoy each other's company. The tour was an amazing and memorable experience.

This was a great hiking trip with a wonderful and experienced organization, Wilderness Scotland. They definitely deserve a five star rating, at least! They provided us with all the information we needed to prepare for the trip, the tour was well organized and we had an experienced, knowledgable and personable guide. I hope to return to Scotland and, definitely, I would go on another tour with Wilderness Scotland.

This was a very well-organized, thoroughly enjoyable vacation of hiking and seeing the sights of the western highlands and the islands. The guide was excellent, informative and knowledgeable; the "basecamp" outstanding - great hospitality and excellent food; and the overall experience satisfying. We would recommend it highly for anyone wanting to experience the western part of Scotland. However, be forewarned. Hiking conditions are difficult - trails few and not well-maintained, very boggy and muddy, and weather highly variable. In spite of that, we loved the experience. It is a beautiful area of the world!

Very well-organized trip.

I cycle a bit around Berkshire rarely doing more than 30 miles so the Hebrides was a little challenging with most days averaging 40 miles and with a few hills. But the countryside was beautiful, the roads very quiet and our guides couldn't have been more helpful. Most of the accommodation was very good with excellent cooked breakfasts and some memorable evening meals. I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to cycle somewhere different.

Wilderness Scotland made a big effort to ensure the holiday was a success. Their guides were first class and the coffee and lunch breaks were perfect.

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.

Great experience

Experienced

We had a great time on the WHW. Beautiful landscapes and the experience of walking on every day made for a wonderful holiday trip. Thanks Wilderness Scotland for the good job.

We were self-guided

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.

Luckily sea kayaking can be fun even in bad weather, its good to know you will end up in a comfortable hotel at the end of the day. Lovely clear water and great views when the clouds lift.

Wilderness Scotland always use very good guides and good quality equipment to make sure you get the most out of visiting the area. Good range of activities to suit all levels.

It is my third trip with Wilderness Scotland. And each time the trip was better. Sea Kayaking in a beautiful enviroment, with excellent guides and a professional organisation. Scotland at its best.

Great week, with fabulous food and accomodation. The guide made the week as she was really helpful, and knowledgeable. I had the best holiday I've ever had in the UK.

Wilderness Scotland were fantastic, I would definitely book with them again.
