“Just returned from an amazing solo hike of the West Highland Way, beautifully organised by the tour company. The whole trip was flawless from start to finish; great accommodation, excellent instructions and pacing of the entire trip which could not have been improved. Highly recommended and I will certainly use this tour operator again for similar expeditions.”

“Enjoyed seeing the locks in action in Fort Augustus; the High Route from Fort Augustus was beautiful; meeting people along the way, no midgies!, and sampling whiskies at the end of the day.”

“This was our second great trip with Sherpa. In the future, we will always explore the Sherpa option, if available, first before booking any other hiking trips. We loved the inns that we stayed at. Good rooms with good dining options. Great friendly people at the inns. Very helpful”
