Our weeklong barge-supported walking trip across Scotland exceeded our expectations. It proved to be the ideal family reunion/ heritage trip for older adults intent on combining physical activity with discovery. The friendly, expert 4-man crew of the barge "Fingal of Caledonia" led us, fed us, and educated us from Fort William to Inverness. Our week of walking an average of 15 miles per day over undulating terrain (generally on the Great Glen Way) gave us ample time to reconnect with each other, learn about the social and ecological history of Scotland, and experience a variety of stunning landscapes along the Caledonian Canal. The barge was more comfortable than we had imagined, with a commodious living and dining space for socializing. The cabins were small but efficiently designed, with private baths and plenty of hot water. The chef's meals exceeded our expectations, featuring a variety of foods artfully presented. We appreciated the skipper's nightly reviews of the map of the next day's hike, and enjoyed hiking alongside our trail guide who knew the landscape so well. We would definitely recommend this trip!

Excellent tour!!!

Excellent tour!!! Our guide, Owen was excellent. It was great to have a guide who was so knowledgeable about the area - from the history to best restaurant picks to where the live music was playing that night. We had a very comfortable shuttle bus with charger plugs (very important because Scotland is so beautiful I took a ton of photos and went through alot of battery!). The accommodations and itinerary were great - we did just the perfect amount of sightseeing for the 5 day tour.

The guiding was comprehensive, informative and flexible. We learnt a lot about the ecology, history and people of Scotland. The bus was comfortable and clean. We really enjoyed all the different styles of hotels we stayed in and the food service was amazing. Thank you for the extra evening meal which we enjoyed at Duisdale House Hotel. My interests lie with flora and fauna along with history and old architecture. I was suitably impressed with everything we stopped to see. The only slightly down point of the journey, which relates to personal preferences, was the lunch stop at the Waterside Seafood Restaurant. Yes it was supposed to be a taste experience and it was, but the meal needed to include more food without a smoked flavour. I think this would have enabled a better appreciation of the smoked flavours. The one thing that I felt was missing was a balance to the history, ecology and amazing food and accommodation - a arts/musical experience. Could you please consider including a music and dance experience (as in try it out) in the future? We were very,very satisfied with out trip.
