What travelers are saying

"We had a really terrible 10 days aboard the Glen Etive. They are short staffed so used temporary and inexperienced staff. The customer care was poor, cabins not cleaned, boat broke down, we did not get to the outer Hebrides- instead travelling up and down the Scottish coast. We felt unsafe on the tender - receiving help from the RNLI on one occasion. We hardly slept on the hard beds. Overall. Would not recommend to anyone"

What travelers are saying

"I had a simply marvellous and memorable experience aboard St Hilda with the Mull Odyssey cruise. Christophe and Kerry were fantastic, helpful , lovely people. Everybody was great company! The land and seascapes were quite amazing, the light and shade effects wonderful. I know and love the West Coast of Scotland, and this is a wonderful way of seeing it. Highlights were the peace of Iona, the puffins within a couple of feet on Lunga, the fantastic mountains of Mull reflected in the water.... I could go on for ever! Quite the best holiday of my life!"

Inverness

Highlights

  • Located on the shores of Loch Linnhe, Fort William is a charming town that makes for the perfect base for your trip. Unpack once, settle in, and enjoy a warm welcome back at the end of each day.
  • Safety always comes first – let your experienced and qualified leader show you the way as you take in spectacular scenery on some of Scotland’s best walks.
  • Conquer Ben Nevis - the king of Scotland walks – with qualified mountain guides who will provide plenty of encouragement and help you scale the mountain at your own pace.
  • Trek the West Highland Way and experience the best of it – Devil’s Staircase and the final stage leading you to Fort William – and enjoy a leisurely ramble along the Great Glen Way.
  • This trip is as green as it gets. We only use public transport and our accommodation can be reached from major cities in the UK by train.

What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

United Kingdom Tour Selection Trips

  • Britain is an ideal place to take a walking tour or cycling tour, since much of it is relatively flat and distances between towns is often short -- though challenging terrain is available as well.
  • Coast-to-coast walking tours are one intriguing option in northern England.
  • While relatively small in size, the United Kingdom is rich in attractions, so be wary of tours that try to cover the entire country in one week.
  • Consider touring England and Wales on one trip, Scotland on another, and combining Northern Ireland with the Republic of Ireland on a third.
  • You could easily spend a week touring London and its nearby surroundings alone, so don’t overlook that option.
  • One good reason to take a guided tour of the UK (at least for Americans and others who drive on the right side of the road) is that the British drive on the left, which can lead to confusion and accidents for those who aren’t used to it.
  • George Bernard Shaw once said that America and England are “two countries separated by a common language.” Some English accents and many Scots’ accents are hard to understand, and some words and phrases have different meanings, so having a tour guide to “translate” can be helpful.
  • If you like atmospheric and charming accommodations with lots of local flavor, Britain has them in abundance, so look for tours that go beyond impersonal hotels.
