Scotland Trekking and Hiking Tour Reviews

Honest insights from past guests on our Trekking and Hiking Scotland tours

Anonymous | Traveled in October

5.0 - Excellent

The West Highland Way fulfilled every one of my dreams about seeing the Scottish Highlands. It was wonderful that all the accommodations and luggage transfer were reserved for me ahead of time and all I had to do was just walk up! Everywhere I stayed was run/owned by such nice people and I never had a bad meal!

West Highland Way - 10 Days

Anonymous | Traveled in July

5.0 - Excellent

A wee walk in the woods! Blessed with wonderful weather, the wet gear stayed packed and the sunscreen came out. Wonderful scenery and we met some nice fellow walkers along the way. Lots of variety with canal boat "lock action", activities at Ft Augustus, tall mast yachts passing through the forest, dark forest trails on pine needles, and "goat tracks" above the tree line looking down on the lochs. The app worked perfectly, as did the luggage transfer. The accommodation hosts were friendly, informative and often went "above and beyond". It is more "moderate" than "introductory". 130km, 190,000 steps, 1540m ascent, highest 426m a.s.l. so a bit of training might be needed.

The Great Glen Way

Anonymous | Traveled in July

5.0 - Excellent

The Great Glen Way was a beautiful trail to do as a first time solo hiker. The first couple of days fairly easy going before getting into steeper longer sections in the second half. Spectacular views of Loch Ness. Take the high route options whenever you can. The guesthouses were a highlight - cosy rooms and welcoming hosts always up for a chat. Luggage transfer worked seamlessly. Maps easy to follow and the trail was well signposted.

Excellent trip. We were fully prepared for what was in store and accommodations were decent. Note for travelers from North America. Hotels and Guest Houses are not like what we are used to in terms of A/C and size but that is typical in Europe.

Travel tips for Scotland Hiking Tour

Pack for all seasons because the Scottish weather is unpredictable. Even mid-summer excursions can get ravaged by bone-chilling winds and sideways rain (or both).
Bring plenty of wet weather gear because you will likely encounter rain in Scotland.
Wear sturdy hiking boots to tackle uneven terrain and unrelenting muddy bogs. Trekkers with questionable knees should bring a pair of hiking poles.
Choose your itinerary carefully and undertake adequate pre-trek training. Some of our Scotland hiking tours are not suitable for beginners.
Think twice about hiking alone through rugged mountainous terrain, as inclement weather can strike anytime. Joining one of our Scottish trekking tours is the safer option.
