Our first guided trip with [the tour operator] after completing 2 previous self guided trips. We were a little anxious it might not be for us, but actually we enjoyed every minute of our holiday, and the whole week completely exceeded our expectations. For our guides, nothing was too much trouble – they fed and watered us, remained cheerful and helpful throughout the whole trip, looked after everybody’s needs within the group, and helped make the week an awful lot of fun. This was our first grade 4 holiday, but am pleased to say, there was plenty of enough challenge without any of it being overwhelming. The cycling we did felt a real achievement, but we also enjoyed the stunning scenery and quiet roads the Scottish Highlands has to offer in abundance. We can’t wait to return. Thank you [tour operator] for one of our best ever holidays.
I enjoyed every day. The landscape unfolded day by day and I saw a lot of new places on the trip. Nice variety of road, trails, towpaths and single track. The guides were great. Nothing was too much trouble and they conducted themselves with professionalism and good humor. I’d say…

Nothing was too much trouble and they conducted themselves with professionalism and good humor. I’d say they went the extra mile all week. Having ridden the route a few weeks earlier, they knew all of the twists, turns, hazards, etc., which gave us all confidence.

The Caledonia trip is an excellent route though wild Scotland with wildlife (Deer, Golden Eagle, Red Squirrel, Seals…) and added gravel! It’s amazing to have great access to 4000 year old burial chambers, standing stones on the route with public access and very quiet so you can get a great view. There is more to Scotland than huge bare mountains glens, this lets you get a good mix!
I would normally ignore leisure rides but in this case I had a recommendation and chose to do it as it is rated as a grade 4 and is a really challenging ride.
The guides were excellent. Both very friendly and supportive. This may be the best supporting guide team I have had on a [tour operator] trip.
