Scotland 8-Day Tours and Trips

An excellent , fun time. The scenery was superb and the pace of the trip was perfect. Could have been longer! The accommodation was great. Our tour leader was exceptional. The driver was very good.

It is a great tour that helps US or Canada residents to either better understand North American life as lots of it came from Scotland, Ireland and England or to learn the roots of their ancestors.

The walk and barge Scotland was fantastic. One needs to be in quite good physical shape as the hills could be a challenge. You definitely need good comfortable hiking boots as some trails were rocky.

This trip gives a wonderful balance between walking, watching wild life and learning about the archaeology and history of the area. The Kirkwall hotel has a few quirks but is very convenient for shops, the cathedral, museum and with only a short stroll to the harbour front. Our guides, Marco and Ritchie, organised our large group superbly well, their passion for the islands making this trip truly memorable. Home now, I really miss the wide open spaces of the Orkneys and the company of our tour members!

The trip went very smoothly--our bags were moved along to each place where we were staying in a timely manner. All accommodations were excellent in every instance. It was a stress-free walking trip!

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.
