Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our tour with Alex was wonderful. She explained the geology of the area with reference to what we could see around us and drew the kids (13 and 10) in with intriguing stories about the more recent human past. She loves her subject and this area and it was such a delight to have her share her knowledge and enthusiasm with us.

Highly recommended. Alex was a great guide and brought real knowledge and passion to the walking tour. Lots of historical and contemporary stories including the Viking influence, the Clearances, the founding of Ullapool, its development and even the story behind the town clock!

We did the Historic Village Tour and loved it! We learned a lot about the history of Ullapool. I especially liked the stories of the emigration ship and the Klondykers. We were a bit short of time and the one hour tour fitted perfectly. They also brought old photgraphs with them and our tour guide was super friendly and so knowledgeable, she could answer any question we had. We would definitively book again and try one of their other tours next time.

I did a 3 1/2 hr walking tour with Alex around the village, along the river and up Ullapool hill. It was a wonderful trek, not too difficult going up the hill and the most amazing views of Ullapool and Loch Broom. Alex was so engaging and knowledgeable with stories and pictures/maps to illustrate them. I enjoyed it very much...so much that I'm going to book another walk to a different area, if I can during my stay!

Thank you very much for your lovely review! It is such a shame that the weather was not all that great for your visit. Glad you enjoyed the indoor talk/chat and the old photos and illustrations I brought along. Thanks for the lively discussion, it was a great afternoon!

What a wonderful introduction to the history of Ullapool and the chance to explore some fantastic walking trails in this beautiful area. Alex had so many interesting stories to tell; it was clear that she had done extensive research to prepare for her tours. We enjoyed her sense of humor. We highly recommend this experience!

We took the Ullapool walking tour with Alex that lasted just about an hour. It was well paced, and we never felt hurried. Alex had a "terabyte" of historical information on why and how the village came into existence, and its challenges on continuing to move forward. The tour was quite good, filled with anecdotes, and I'd recommend Alex.

Thank you very much for the nice review! Was lovely to meet you and walk along the coast with you. You are absolutely right, the area at Rhue can be boggy after rain :-)

In late May 2023, five 60-something friends bimbled into Ullapool for an overnight stay between Skye and Scourie, as part of an 8-day trip around Northern Scotland. We knew little about our destination, so a few weeks before, we had contacted Ullapool Tours to arrange a 2-hour guided walking tour in the early evening. Alex replied really swiftly and we arranged a time. We later asked if she could recommend places we might visit on the journey between Portree and Ullapool, and her suggestions were spot-on. The evening of the tour was quite wet, but Alex was very flexible and could fit us in the next morning instead - this worked really well. Her guided tour delivered just what we wanted: sufficient exercise combined with a description of the geology and wildlife, plus an interesting and thoughtful insight into the history and culture of the town. Well done and thank you, Alex!
