ON FOOT · UK HIKING TOURS
Every trip has one free day too few. These 4 uk hiking tours earn the slot, priced and timed so you can decide over breakfast and still make the trailhead.
Join a small group of up to eight for a guided ascent of Yr Wyddfa, also called Snowdon. Guides such as Simon, Tom, Keith, and Hywyn help you manage the climb, share local stories, and reach the summit safely. Expect changing weather, steep sections, and a rewarding six-hour walk from Llanberis.
“10/10 to Tom our guild absolutely wealth of knowledge and was always motivating the group to keep going 👌”
Spend 13 hours exploring Skye from Inverness in a comfortable 16-seat mini-coach. Walk at the Old Man of Storr, Quiraing, Fairy Glen, and Cuillin Mountains, stop for lunch in Portree, and photograph Eilean Donan Castle. Guides such as Tim and Murdoch add Scottish history, local tales, humor, and practical help on the trails.
“Rainy and yet, Tim made it fun. Great experience that we would recommend for others who want to see the Isle of Skye and like a walk. Recommend ensuring you have good shoes and good rain jackets (because it’s Scotland). The lunch provided was also really fantastic.”
Meet Rishi at King’s Theatre for a half-day walk in the Pentland Hills. Expect 5 to 6 miles of hiking, a steep climb to a 493-meter summit, views over Edinburgh and nearby lochs, and possible sightings of Highland cows, sheep, deer, and birds. Snacks, water, and an all-day bus ticket are included.
“So worth it! Definitely perfect for those wanting to get out of the city and be in nature. The first bit is definitely a bit steep, but as long as you have somewhat good fitness, you’ll be fine. Rishi is a wonderful guide! He is very knowledgeable of both local and natural history; making sure to stop a ton of times and share very interesting location based information.”
Meet your guide at Snowdon Mountain Railway station in Llanberis for an eight-hour summer hike to Snowdon’s summit and back. Tom, Simon, and other guides lead small groups of up to eight, check your gear before setting off, share mountain facts and Welsh language, and help you manage the route safely in changing weather.
“Fantastic experience! Would 100% recommend! The whole experience was wonderful and our guide very interesting and knowledgeable! Fossils on the top of snowdon who would have thought!”
