Reviews of our Scotland Self-Guided Tours
Self-guided travelers rate their independent journeys through Scotland.
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!
Great walk. Made even better by the choice of hotels and B&B's. Luggage transfer was seamless. Their app is excellent. Useful information and the map to avoid straying off track also excellent.

The Scenery was fantastic and we enjoyed the trip. I would highly recommend this to anyone the logistics were seamless. Be prepared for a lot of litter of toilet paper due to the lack of toilets and people not following the rules of burying it.
Enjoyed the trip 100%. People services were well organized and thoughtful. The scenery was gorgeous. Only one criticism was lack of a outdoor toilets which may have lessened the disturbing litter of toilet paper occasionally spotted.
The John Muir Trail is a delightful walk across Scotland. Walkers enjoy very contrasting landscapes, towns and weather. From the views, the engineering in the lock systems on the canals, to the art, and the architecture the walk is a very pleasant experience. There is a fair amount of hard surface walking so come prepared with well cushioned shoes for those days.
