I want to thank the WIS crew for an amazing time. I traveled on the 10 day tour the first week(s) of July this year. This was my second time in Scotland (my first having run into a WIS tour on Lewis 3 years ago, thus deciding to go with you this time). When traveling there is a need of balance of Fun times, quiet times and mind altering times. WIS does the job of bringing this all together. I prefer not to call myself a tourist when I travel. I prefer to say that I go on pilgrimages to recharge my life and get back to what life is truly about. Between the fun times with other tour goers to in depth conversations about culture with the guides (Thank You Bruce and Jamie) to quiet cliff walks and live music and pints in the pub, I feel very blessed to have had this experience. I hope to travel back next year in the off season to join the Islay tour in February.
Again Thank You, my trip with WIS is a time not easily forgotten.

Warm Regards
Beck

(PS any suggestions that you may have on how to get a hold of folks from the second half  6 day Orkney tour 11july through 14july would be appreciated. I have photos that I would like to give folks.)

I did the 9 day Island Whopper beginning 18th May 2010. Danny was our guide for the first part of our trip and we were already cracking up before we got out of the City. Danny’s sun dance could put an Indian to shame. The tour took us to places which would generally be very difficult to access and the drive on Glengarry road was particularly hilarious!
Ewan was our guide for the last 4 days and he made it equally interesting and fun. Since I’ve come back I keep telling people Orkney’s cool! The guides are PROUD SCOTS and are loaded with serious information on their land.
The nights are never complete without a wee dram or a pint at the local pub where thankfully the locals far outnumber us tourists and are always up for some banter if you can take it!
The tour was the best part of my trip to the UK and money well spent.
Kath – time permitting I shall trouble you again mostly this December for the Christmas special.

P.S. Danny plays the acoustic guitar very well and Ewan the air guitar – make sure you get you fill!!

Hello
I’m Rebekka holder and I’ve just come back from the monster tour.  I just wanted to say thank you for the great time I had. It is just an awesome concept of travelling (the social aspect of it with the cooking and stuff, the interesting stories, jokes and historical facts told by both of the drivers,  the adventures, the landscape and so on).  I absolutely loved it!
Unfortunately I didn’t  get to say goodbye to our second driver Bruce (I don’t know his last name). Since I don’t  have his email address, could you please forward this onto him? I’d be very grateful.

Hey Bruce,
Sorry we didn’t say goodbye. We were picked up by our friends as you were still gone. I just wanted to say “hi!”  real quick and thank you for the great time we had with you. I really appreciated you knowing so much about the history of Scotland and the different places we went to. It really made me feel that I got to know Scotland, even just in these couple of days. Oh,  and you are a great story teller!  I hope we didn’t bother you to much with asking for more stories (hehe). They were just to much fun. I can say that this was probably one of my best vacations. I won’t forget it (and for sure it made me want to go back to Scotland). Thanks to wild in Scotland, yourself  and Danny.
So thanks again and take care
Rebekka Hodler (in case you don’t remember. . swiss girl, ginger hair, don’t like to wear hats but looooove stories!).

Dear WiS Folks,

I’m now back in the states and i have unfortunately settled into my daily work routine. But I wanted to take a moment to express what a wonderful and exciting time I had on both the 9 Day Island Hopper tour  with Colin and Bruce and the 2Day Loch Ness and Highlands tour with Bruce and Danny. All three gentleman were top notch and I’d travel with any and all of them in the future. Why two tours? The first was a birthday present to myself to fill out the majority of my homecoming 2009 trip.And the second was to make sure my brothers who joined me later in the trip, got a chance to see as much of the country as possible on their shortened schedule.

Every day of both tours was about as packed with history, lore, landscapes and good will as could be asked for. People have been asking me what the best part was and I’m honestly unable to come up with any point where one moment superseded any other. I’m partial to hiking through The Quiraing during a storm but that may just be because those are the photos that I’m currently editing. I’ve already recommended WiS to two groups of friends who will be in Scotland over the next few months. In particular, I’d like to commend Colin and his leadership during the first half of  the 9 Day tour. Keeping a van load of outgoing and opinionated individuals going in roughly the same direction 24 hours a day is an amazing feat. I lead much smaller groups on day and overnight  hikes into Adirondack and Catskill Mountains and really appreciated Colin’s handling of both the mundane and the extraordinary aspects of the trip, especially when one of our members became seriously ill. He’s  a great  asset to WiS and hope he’ll be available when my friends book their tours.

Thank you again for providing such a wonderful experience.

To whom it may concern,

I recently had the pleasure of going on the 9 day Island Hopper Tour.

I just wanted to let you know of our wonderful experience  from accommodation, food, guides (Jamie & Simon) and general tour route taken, it was amazing, we saw a lot more than we thought we would and both guides know their stuff,we also had a couple of Guides in training Martin and Colin, both were pleasant and knowledgeable. We would recommend Wild in Scotland to friends and family

Thank you for an awesome experience
