      The Office Team

      Behind the Scenes

      Our office team comes from a variety of backgrounds but all share a passion for Scotland and a commitment to providing you with the best customer service.

      Helpful, courteous and friendly, they will assist with any queries you may have and can provide advice and suggestions as to which itinerary you may enjoy most.

      As part of our ongoing training programme, our office team regularly join trips to experience them first-hand. Beyond this, however, many of the office team are actually qualified guides who have personally guided our trips so are able to offer expert advice. Between us, we have experience of every trip we offer throughout the Highlands and Islands.

      So if you have any questions about our trips – from trying to decide which trip to join, to whether you are fit enough for a particular itinerary, from the best way to travel to the start point, to what personal equipment you might need – our office team will be happy to help so please do get in touch.

      Our holidays reviewed
      in your own words

      This was a fantastic holiday for us and the whole family hugely enjoyed our time in Scotland. Both the boys said it was one of their best trips and they would love to do it again and spend more time in Scotland. So we will definitely be looking into doing some more travels to Scotland some time! And I know where to come as Wilderness did a great job in sorting everything out for us including restaurant bookings - it was a brilliant, responsive and tailored service and just the perfect travel solution when we all needed a holiday and had little time to look into things ourselves.
