Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. Good value for what's included.

The trek itself is good but the group was too large for the trail on the summit day. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Would send friends their way.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Recommended.

Highlands & Skye in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Would book with them again.

Did this over 6 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Tents were warmer than expected and the camp was set up before we arrived. Solid operator.
