Very good, professional service. From pick-up to drop-off and everything in between. And real thought given to what worked best for our group given our relatively short tour - 2 days. Much welcomed flexibility. Great guide and excellent company too. One suggestion - give him a Mike as his first class insight wasn't always audible in the back of the minivan!

Excellent trip, the walks were all good, and the guide was very well-informed and flexible. Would recommend this company to others.

Martin stott,
really excellent. The sites exceeded expectations. The walking was great and everything from hen harriers to Scottish primroses were a real treat. Brilliant guide and good company. wont forget the 'Norse king' on Rousay in a hurry either!

The trip was perfect.
Frieda was a great organiser - I had to leave the trip early, and she made all the necessary arrangements for me, including logistics to Glasgow.
Our guide was Lesley, who was experienced, patient and caring.
The only suggestion that I would like to make is to increase the amount of walking per day. Average of 10km per day wasn't quite enough! =)
I look forward to my next holiday with aboutargyll.

In September 2014 my friend and I left our husbands in the States and went on the stunning walking holiday offered by About Argyll Walking Holidays. From the moment we met Frieda the owner and Lesley our tour guide we began the holiday that went well over our expectations in every way. The hikes were varied (through the forests in the Loch Tay area and along the coast near Oban and the nearby islands) with a delightful visit to Glen Coe on the day we traveled from the inland to the coast.The hikes were all very 'doable' in length and terrain with stunning views. Both if the inns were first class accommodations with remarkable food and ambiance. Lesley's knowledge of the history, natural history and geology of Scotland further enhanced our experience. This holiday gets my highest recommendation.

What a wonderful, informative trip. Our hikes were varied and so interesting. Our guide Stewart provided us with a wealth of information regarding Scottish history and customs. Couldn't have asked for a better leader. Our knowledge of Scotland has greatly increased due to this trip. One of our best hiking vacations!

This tour is one of my favorites. Our walking guide Lesley's knowledge of history, geology, archeology and nature on our walks added so much to our enjoyment of this 'wee bit' of Scotland. We wish we'd had more time. The walks chosen took us thru old forests, a nature reserve, castles and coastal trails and tracks. Each day was a new adventure. Well done and highly recommended!
