Self-Guided Scotland Tours

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 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.

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.
