      Every client receives a feedback survey when they return from their guided, self guided or tailor made vacations with us. Once completed the review is published on our website just as soon as our database updates. The little touches and details are important to us and where issues are raised we make positive changes to our trips to improve your experience.

      That’s why we read each of our client’s reviews and although we don’t respond to all of them, if it’s glowing feedback then we get the satisfaction of helping to make your vacations truly memorable.

      The Bottom Line

      The winter trip to Orkney is the best choice for those wanting to experience the islands without crowds. Wilderness Scotland was extremely professional and accommodating. Everything from the hotel and food to the hiking and learning was extraordinary. I left Scotland with a much deeper understanding of the life and history of such a magical place.

      The Bottom Line

      Walking in November has the additional challenge of very changeable weather and short day light. As i am rather experienced in walking in Scotland I found the experience very valuable and boosted my confidence to try walking in winter. I would not suggest someone who has not done hill walking in Scotland before to do this in November.

      The Bottom Line

      It's hard to express how meaningful hiking the Scottish Highlands is to me. I highly recommend the Wilderness Scotland Wilds of Assynt Walking tour to anyone who hikes frequently. The scenery was breathtaking and different on each hike. It had the highest challenge rating in the average range of hikes with Wilderness Scotland and in our group of women in our '40's- '60s we accomplished & enjoyed every single one of the hikes. A small day pack is all that was needed to carry our lunch, water and rain gear if needed each day. Wilderness Scotland provided a thorough list of hiking gear suitable for this tour. I hope I can do another WS tour in the near future. Forever grateful
