Rhys Howell-Walmsley

Our guides, while green, were amazing. They took excellent care of us, a rather unruly bunch. They had lots of interesting things to share.

I could not ask for a better guide than Rhys. He was not only knowledgeable about the natural and cultural history of the areas we hiked through but also gave great advice and assistance on hiking in some terrain that was challenging for some of our members. His demeanor was always pleasant and encouraging. I would seriously consider signing up for additional Wilderness Scotland trips with Rhys as our guide.

Rhys was knowledgable, friendly, caring for all members on the trip, and fun!

Very helpful, nothing was too much trouble, well organised

Both guides (Reese and Alison) were great. They should both be hired again to accompany WHW groups.

Rhys was friendly, inclusive and knowledgeable.

Rhys is an excellent guide: he is pleased to share his knowledge about the mountains and their flora, he is very attentive and helpful and he is a very open-minded and nice person.

Rhys did an AMAZING job and was very knowledgeable about all the plants, geology and history of the route

As already mentioned, Rhys was lovely, knowledgeable and always there to help. He talked us through the different stages of each hike which I found super helpful. I would love to hike again with him!

Rhys was terrific! He is an expert guide, of course, but he also went out of his way to ensure that everything went smoothly and that we all felt comfortable. Apart from having a great sense of humour and thus making the hiking fun, Rhys would also know when to push us, how to create motivation, and when to schedule a break. He would look out for each and everyone of us, sense if someone needed extra care and was really involved and supportive. Everything ran very smoothly because of him. Thank you so much, Rhys!
