Well organised, professional guides - flexible - allowing the group to go at their own pace and plenty of breaks.

Got there in the end!

Unfortunately, exceptionally hot weather meant I dropped out of this walk before halfway due to my age and carrying excess baggage but the guide was very understanding. Fortunately my partner was able to carry on and gleaned many tips which helped us when she and I climbed the mountain together in milder weather the very next day! A great experience in the end!

Well done! The heat drains your energy so much. It's great that you climbed Ben Nevis the next day, especially for you partner doing it twice!

Although hundreds of people doing the walk without a guide I felt safer knowing someone was about knowing the mountain route

Amazing experience with spectacular views.

Spectacular views all the way even at the summit. Craig my guide was brilliant, very knowledgeable and kept me going even though I felt at times as though the legs had given up. Highly recommended and if you are as fortunate as I was to such a great guide you've won before you've even started. Thanks for a great and and brilliant experience.

Ben Nevis Experience

The communications from the start of booking to completion of the walk was very good. The walk was unable to go ahead on the original date due to a yellow weather warning. We were delighted that through communication and negotiation the event organiser was able to rearrange the walk to accommodate our availability. The guide we were assigned to support us on the walk was first class. Would definitely recommend.

Achieving the walk with such a friendly guide was great! We met on time and she was very knowledgable about the area and mountain so I learnt a lot too. Thank you!

Group walk is fine, but not necessarily need a guide.

Overall speaking, it's a great day to do the summit on a whole-day hike. The ever changing weather itself is the major challenge. It is a bit disappointing that the summit peak is entirely covered by thick fog. I would say, the guide is not entirely necessary, anyone who has experience in hiking should be able to do the summit on their own, following the well-established trail.

Amazing experience! Totally worth the money! Beautiful views during the hike! Makes you feel alive;) And cheers to our guide Rachel who beside being a very nice guide really saved us with her extra gear (gloves, vest , hat and hot juice at the top) - we could not have done it without her!:)
