wonderful experience - Our guide, Jim was very kind and friendly! He was very knowledgeable about the nature and history of the West Highlands. It wasn't tough climbing, yet it offered breathtaking views that truly showcased the beauty of the landscape. I highly recommend this tour for a relaxed hiking experience.

Steps on vacation - Our guide, Ilsa was great. We had a pretty fast group so she added on extras to make sure we weren't too early for our lunch. It all worked out though. The small group setting was perfect (7 and a guide). We hadn't realized it was all one long hike. The description made it sound like we'd go to different places to hike, but it was different sections of the same hike. That made it better than getting in and out of a van at various stops.

Steps on vacation - Absolutely awesome experience. My wife and I enjoyed it. The small group of people on the hike was perfect. Our guide, Ilsa, was very friendly and helpful. I suppose it was rather fortunate it didn't rain, but even if it had, I'm sure we would have still enjoyed the outdoors.

Forever memorable - This was a fantastic hiking tour through magical forests, open hills, and majestic views of Loch Lomond. James was an outstanding tour guide, knowledgeable, fun and inclusive of everyone in the tour. He paced the hike just right, knew when to stop to share a cool story and when to let you basque in the peace of the surroundings. You breathe the fresh air, and notice the purple thistle flowers and wild fox gloves on a background of vast blue sky, cheerful birdsongs, and the soothing rhythmic sound of your footsteps mingled with the legends of Loch Lomond.

"It's all in the hat!" - My 3 friends and I had an amazing all day tour with "James". He was so knowledgeable and engaging with each one of us and an additional 3 others. All 7 of us got along beautifully and had a wonderful day. I managed to keep the 'rain at bay' by wearing my goodluck rain hat all day until the very end!! see photo!!!

A fabulous day on the West Highland Way. - We had a great time with James! He took care of us (4 ladies in our 70s) throughout the walk and especially on the climb up Conic Hill. He told funny stories, cheered us on and even carried our backpacks when we were tired. He knew how to keep us going. James took photos of us when we asked and took out the Scottish flag at the top to take a group photo. It was a very memorable moment! Thank you James for making our 8 mi. hike a fabulous experience!!
