After a great breakfast at Howe Keld, we reluctantly packed the car for the drive to Edinburgh, Scotland. Remember in my last post I talked about taking the back roads? Well, as we left bucolic Keswick and The Lakes District, that little bit of Nomadic advice rang true as we got on the motorway headed north to Edinburgh. It was... More

I did the Highlands and Railways week long hiking trip starting September 11th 2011. Our guide,Gary Hodgson, was an absolute gem of a guide in every way! He was organised, hospitable, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and in general he could not have been a better person to have as a guide. He really got on well with everyone, and to a... More

We were on the same trip as Anglo Cat and we echo her praise. Ian is a superb guide, extremely patient and encouraging. Ours was a fairly large group with persons of varying abilities and he accommodated all of us. His knowledge of Skye greatly enhanced our enjoyment. Neil More

A friend and I just completed the Skye Discovery Tour with our amazing guide, Ian Stephenson. Our group of 12 was made up of English, Canadians, Americans and Russians, with various abilities. A less experienced guide would have struggled to keep us all happy, safe and entertained but Ian pulled it off with style. Most day's walks consisted of an... More

All I have to say is THANK YOU WALKABOUT SCOTLAND! Skye is a magical place. The accommodations ranged from excellent with charm and lovely people to absolutely fine. The only problem with the food was that I ate way too much. But the best of the best was our guide, Ian Stephenson, absolutely top notch. He concocted for us some... More

I would highly recommend this tour group. A friend and I joined in on the Isle of Skye Discovery tour and we were very pleased. The hiking tour blew us away at every corner with each amazing cliff and crag! The guide, Ian, was outstanding, very professional and very accomodating to every need and whim of the group. We were...

Fabulous week's walking on Skye with great guide and great company. We were well fed, well watered and well looked after and walked in beautiful scenery in the 4 corners of Skye. Would definitely try Walkabout again. More

I would just like to say I was on the same trip as Fuego1 and found our guide very helpful and not at all condescending! He was energetic enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. He handled a group with very diverse needs as well as could possibly be expected. He always had the whole groups best interests at the forefront. I certainly... More
