In June we walked Hadrian’s Wall with Hillwalk Tours. It was very well organized and we stayed in some lovely B&B. This was our second hike with this company- we will likely do a third next year.

We had a wonderful time on the nine-day Western Way hike. The two days on Innismor in the Aran Islands are a must and a good break-in to the rest of the hikes. All day's walks were easily do-able le... See more

A fantastic hiking holiday in Ireland.

I hiked the Dingle Way and Kerry Way with Hillwalk Tours last year and it was a fantastic trip in every way! All of the B and B's were lovely with personable and knowledgeable hosts. Breakfasts were varied and excellent. Suggested restaurants for dinners were helpful and very good. Our luggage arrived without fail at each of the B and B's. Trail maps and hiking directions were excellent. It was a wonderful experience to do self-guided hiking with the assistance of Hillwalk Tours. I am now considering hiking Scotland using Hillwalk Tours again. They are great and all was perfect!

Hi Sharon - I know you have been in touch with us already about a trip to Scotland this year. We don't do the Outer Hebrides or the Isle of Skye currently but perhaps the West Highland Way might be of interest to you? See www.hillwalktours.com/hiking-scotland or contact us at info@hillwalktours.com if you have any other questions.

Wonderful trip!

I was eager to go to Scotland one day. Last summer I started searching for the group tour, but during the googling for the route I found Hillwalk Tours and I realized that it's not necessary to walk in the group - I can do it myself accompanied by the friend of mine (I had't thought about it before). It suited me very much as one doesn't need to wait for somebody or to hurry following the guide. But I worried about organisation (if it's possible to buy the tour from Russia) and if I can find the route using map and description in English.
Actually there was no reason to worry! From the very first letters to HT till the end of the trip I felt that everything was well organized and people there really thought about my comfort!
Together with my friend we chose West Highland Way for 7 days - the most popular route and there wasn't any problem of the way! The bookings were made in good places and the transport was on time. We enjoyed the journey very much and I recommended HT to everybody who asked me about this active type of vacation.

Hey Polina, we would love to have more Russian walkers so we're delighted to hear you are spreading the word about Hillwalk Tours in your home country! Thanks!

Wonderful scenery, food, people!

I have been fortunate to travel in Europe many times. All were superb with many fond memories but our Hillwalks Tour surpasses them all. Yhe quiet, contemplative journey was perfect. We cannot wait to plan our next walk!

Looking forward to putting that together for you Randy. As well as our Ireland and Scotland walking trips, we're running tours along Hadrian's Wall Path in England now and the epic Coast to Coast trail is coming very soon so hopefully you'll find something you like!

Hiking into Retirement

My husband wanted to celebrate his retirement from 23 years of military service with a hike along the Speyside Way. The hike was the perfect way for him to transition into retirement. Each guesthouse made our adventure special - from sharing their opinions on Scottish politics to recommending the meat pies at the Craig Pub - and we enjoyed every step! The directions, maps and guides were excellent; very easy to follow. We are both looking for an excuse to do another Hillwalk Tour!

Those pies in the Craig pub are pretty good alright - glad you liked them! Perhaps we can tempt you and your husband over to Ireland with the promise of Connemara lamb or wild Atlantic salmon direct from the Ocean!?

Hillwalk Tours is wonderful!

I had a beautiful 8 day walk on the Dingle Way in March 2014, organised by Hillwalk. Not only was the walk itself spectacular, but the B and B's Hillwalk had organised for me were all terrific, with amazing rooms, great breakfasts, and hosts who can't do enough for you. The offer to skype about the conditions on the trail for March walkers prior to my trip put my mind greatly at ease about the conditions on the trail, which James had just walked. Maps and route notes were perfect. This is a great company.

Best vacation ever

We loved our 10-day Dingle Way self-guided walking tour! It was really great to have Hillwalk Tours arrange everything for us ahead of time. We never had to worry about finding accommodations or lugging our luggage around. Every day we got to walk with just our day packs and know we would have a hot shower and a comfortable bed waiting for us at the end of the day (those first couple days were rough, so that was quite the blessing!). All of our B&Bs were fantastic. We've already recommended Hillwalk Tours to several co-workers, and we would absolutely sign on with them again for another tour!
