Scotland's Shetland Islands

Guide is excellent, tour Company not so much. Poorly organized & fitness rating is too low… 4/5 rating is more like it

Intrepid holidays are eco friendly and allow you to experience a community as the locals would. It us a great blend of activities and your own time to explore.

Highlights of Scotland

Mariel · Traveled August 2024
My second Intrepid trip. I mostly signed on for this one for nature and scenery vs. history, but enjoyed that both were included. I also appreciated a bit of time in the cities, but I booked extra days separately at either end to actually see Glasgow and Edinburgh for myself (I'd consider this a must-do for anyone traveling to Scotland for the first time). Our tour leader, Lara, was excellent, and extremely adept at dealing with some of the impromptu scheduling difficulties due to our itinerary operating at a different schedule than the typical one (read: different starting day of the week = some train/taxi issues). She also gave us our space, and we did indeed have many free afternoons and evenings as the itinerary suggests. I like not being hand-held through every single element of every day-- the balance of scheduled activities and free time was very nice. Also- please pack rain gear. Why would you not pack rain gear for Scotland? It's going to rain.
