Adventurer's Stories about Susie
Susie was fun to be around. She was informative, easy to talk to, and comfortable. She was also able to be clear and assertive as issues related to Covid arose.

Susie was a fantastic guide. She provided just the right amount of information and instruction, while also making sure to line up the desired archeological sites in the most suitable and available order. Our walks were perfectly arranged in order to maximize viewing and our own sense of confidence. Susie was also a delightful companion and provided the perfect amount of Scottish color to our meals and walks. Finally, Susie handled quite well the difficult matter of one of our trip companions testing positive for covid during the trip.

Susie Hill was amazing! I think she's a superb person, who was so kind and flexible and understanding. She really wanted to make sure that everyone was having a fun, relaxing vacation. She was also a really interesting person to talk to, and enjoyed getting to know her.

Susie is delightful and knowledgeable and fun!. We had a great time learning about the areas we hiked in from her. We always felt we were in capable, experienced hands. She is a great guide and we had a wonderful time.

Susie is a star. She made every rainy hike fun and every sunny afternoon magical. She was a good sport as we teased her a lot and she went along with the fun. She always had a good spirit, a smiling face and an alternative plan if we were not game for more wind and rain walking. We toughed it out and the views were spectacular. Great job Susie.

I think Susie was an exemplary guide and always made me feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire trip. she was always keeping an eye on the group and was flexible about our needs and wants while still ensuring that we got to do as much as possible. As with my guide on last year's trip (Craig), I would happily go on any trip Susie was guiding - she definitely ensured my experience was as good as it could be.

Susie was excellent in evry respect. She tailored the walks for what we wanted and what we could do, and we felt very safe with her. Very good company also.

Susie is a very good guide. She is professional and knowledgeable; she effectively communicates her own love of Scotland, thereby enhancing the guest's experience. She is naturally friendly and relates well to people.

Susie was great at giving us the options to say what we would like to do and adjusting the trip as needed. Her knowledge of the local wildlife was excellent and meant we got to see things we would have missed without her.

Susie and Kirsty did an amazing job. Due to Covid-19 we had 2 vans. Mine was driven by Kirsty stepping in from her office job. She was a great driver and very friendly.
Susie Our main guide went above and beyond in they way she dealt with the challenging weather for the first part of the trip juggling the program to get the best out of it. She was very knowledgeable too on the history and flora and fauna.

Suzie was our guide and despite not having coordinated a trip for some while due to Covid measures and last minute changes to the staffing of our trip, did an exceptional job. Never seemingly tired after driving many miles and always enthusiastic and keen to share knowledge. Both Suzie and Don worked extremely hard to give our group the best experience despite Covid measures in place which understandably were followed religiously. I really appreciated speaking to guides from Scotland and realising their obvious love and devotion to the natural world and being so generous in sharing that with us. Don was so knowledgeable about the fauna, really a potential trip in itself!

As mentioned Susie had a very caring, organised and hands on approach throughout.
I would also like to say “ thanks” to Wilderness Scotland for organising a birthday cake. The group also bought me a card snd Bird book and they all sang “ Happy Birthday” at Dinner!!

As mentioned earlier, we had a helpful guide who went out of her way to make sure things ran smoothly. However, we were disappointed at the flora and wildlife info.

It is great to hear that you had a good time in the Outer Hebrides, it is such a special place. Our guides will always try and answer questions you may have about flora and fauna of the local area. If they do not know the answer straight away they will always find out for you.

Our guide was very good in terms of looking after us, but we did waste a lot of time waiting for lunch stops. I assume this is not the guides fault but it might be worthwhile looking at how you provide the mid-day meal.

We had 2 days of guided hikes with Susie in Glencoe and these were my favorite days of the trip! We explored areas we wouldn't have known to go and did some fantastic hiking. Susie was wonderful to talk with and she knew a lot about the area.

I think Susie did an excellent job of accommodating everyone’s wishes. She worked very hard, in Inverness she took time to drop everyone off at their individual hotels.

Thank you Susie for your gentle patience and your wisdom in estimating what we could achieve. I think you were very busy at times organising things in the background but it never seemed to show, everything just happened!
