Our walk through the Spey Valley was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and a perfect introduction to this type of holiday for us as beginners. The journey was well-suited to our level, and we particularly appreciated the thoughtful support provided by Adventures Scotland, which made the trip seamless. Most of the accommodations were delightful and added to the overall enjoyment of the walk.

A heartfelt thank you to Amy and the team at Adventures Scotland for crafting an incredible journey through Scotland! My tour was absolutely unforgettable, with a perfectly tailored itinerary that effortlessly guided me from Edinburghā€™s vibrant charm to the tranquility of Oban and the Isle of Mull, through the breathtaking Isle of Skye, the majestic Highlands, and ending in picturesque Callander. The accommodations you arranged were excellent, with warm and welcoming hosts at every stop. Your restaurant recommendations were spot on, and even when I ventured beyond them, I was always delighted with the food and service. Thank you for making this trip so seamless and memorable!

When planning a trek, we prioritize certain key elements: the flexibility to customize the itinerary with extra days for rest or sightseeing, high-quality accommodations along the route, convenient car parking at the start or end, and a reliable baggage transfer service. Adventures Scotland met all of these expectations flawlessly, making the planning process simple and stress-free. While we heard from other trekkers about issues such as poorly located accommodations or logistical challenges that made their journeys less enjoyable, our experience was the complete opposite. Every detail was perfectly managed, and the accommodations were well-placed and of excellent quality, ensuring each day was both enjoyable and manageable.

We were absolutely thrilled with the itinerary provided by Adventures Scotland. The accommodations were varied and exceptional, carefully chosen for their peaceful settings while still being conveniently close to key activities. The balance was spot-on, allowing us to enjoy both tranquility and easy access to everything we wanted to explore. The personalized day-by-day itinerary was a standout feature, outlining every detail of our holiday with clarity and precision, including all accommodation information. It was so well-crafted that there was nothing we felt needed to be changed or added. In a word: perfection!

An incredible hiking adventure for our group of 4 in the Cairngorms! Tom proved to be an outstanding guide, possessing an extensive expertise in the local plant and animal life, as well as the Cairngorms region. He exceeded our expectations in multiple aspects. The lodging provided as part of our package was excellent, and the meals offered were of high quality. We wouldn't hesitate to make another reservation with them!

The Wilds of Assynt walking vacation offers a plethora of delightful hiking opportunities and explorations in the scenic northwest highlands. Every day commences and concludes at a charming lodge with picturesque views of the water and the hills. The experienced AS guide adeptly plans each day, harmonizing the group's requirements with the prevailing weather conditions. This excursion encompasses a wide range of experiences, including the distinctive geology of the region, the remnants of ancient castles, encounters with marine life, and breathtaking hilltop panoramas.

The trip was impeccably planned, and the pre-trip information provided was outstanding. They were prompt in addressing any inquiries we had. Our guide was exceptional, offering valuable insights, maintaining a relaxed atmosphere, and skillfully ensuring the group adhered to the schedule and objectives. The itinerary featured a pleasing mix of hikes and visits to historical sites.

The trip's overall smoothness contributed to a thoroughly enjoyable experience, allowing us to fully savor the adventure of discovering a new destination. With a small group size, we had the privilege of being led by a fantastic guide who possessed an impressive depth of knowledge and adeptness in orchestrating all aspects of the journey seamlessly. Our transportation and accommodations were both cozy and inviting. One notable convenience was the limited need to switch between just two lodgings, sparing us from the constant process of packing and unpacking.

Orkney is a truly unique destination, and our guide was a treasure trove of knowledge, providing us with rich insights into the region's history, its diverse plant and animal life, as well as captivating local tales that helped us forge a deeper connection with the area during our walks.

I highly recommend Adventures Scotland. This country is fantastic in itself, but experiencing it through a guided tour by Adventures Scotland has taken it to a whole new level of incredible. This made the trip so easy as all I had to do was tell them what I was looking for on my trip and when I wanted to go and they planned the rest. The accommodations selected were very clean, comfortable and had wonderful hosts and delicious breakfasts. The hikes were all amazing. My guide had an incredible knowledge of all the places we went to as well as flora and fauna. Every day he took the time to study the weather conditions so that we could adapt our plans if necessary. A perfect trip that I will remember for a long time. If I ever go back to Scotland, it will be with Adventures Scotland, thank you for this amazing holiday!

In April this year, my husband and I decided to take my parents on a holiday trip to Outer Hebrides as we had never been before and always wanted to visit. I came across Adventure Scotland online and asked for a quote for them to organise a self drive tour. Within 24 hours we had a reply from Tom and after a brief conversation he went away and prepared a proposed itinerary for us. The team at Adventure Scotland took the pain away of organising the ferry crossings, hotel bookings and restaurant bookings. Before our departure, Tom sent a professional personalised guidebook with details of each place to stay and a selection of walks to do. The free voucher to use FATMAP meant we could follow the walks with GPS mapping so as never to get lost. The hotels and restaurants proposed were all excellently chosen and the whole experience was planned to perfection from Barra to Lewis. If you are looking for a trip of outstanding beauty with someone organising the hard work behind the scenes, then choose Adventure Scotland. Thanks to the team and Tom šŸ˜Š

Profesional team, top guides and a beautiful country to explore. 14 people took part in the corporate hiking holiday. We were guided by Tom and Donas that made sure everything ran like a swiss clock!
