Pre-Trip Service
Chris was incredibly helpful during the planning process and especially when we had some problems with a flight cancellation and needed to make adjustments with our arrival. He adapted and kept everything streamlined.
Trip Comments
It’s hard to pick just one, as the entire trip was full of highlights! One of my favorite moments was reaching the top of the big climb on the last day and enjoying a picnic lunch in the sunshine with a hot coffee and the most stunning views before an epic descent!
Accommodation & Food
Accommodations were comfortable and well located. We especially enjoyed Tirindeish House. Lucy was a lovely hostess!
Your Guide
This was our first experience with a self guided plus trip. Sam was the perfect soigneur! He had great suggestions about our routes each day, particularly when we had some bad weather in the forecast. He had some great suggestions to maximize the beautiful riding days and make the rainy days more comfortable. He kept the bikes in perfect working order and always seemed to be waiting for us with tea and snacks just at the right time when we needed a boost. He was professional, knowledgeable, warm and had a great sense of humor. My daughter and I felt like we had this great adventure that was just the two of us, but with a wonderful supporter that meant we could just focus on the ride knowing Sam had all the details taken care of. This is my 5th trip with WS and the guides have always been top notch. Sam has absolutely lived up to our high expectation. He is a top guide to be sure.
The Bottom Line
I think the fact that this is my 5th trip with WS speaks for itself. This trip was one of my favorites for sure. It was an incredible experience to share this beautiful place with my daughter for the first time. The Caledonian Way was beautiful and just challenging enough! I can’t wait to return and cycle or hike in Scotland again!
