Tour Reviews

★★★★★ 5/5
"We had the pleasure of 2 tours of Ullapool with Heike and Alex as part of my 60th birthday celebrations; summed up in a single word ‘excellent’. The first was the Adventure tour ..., a fantastic mix of nature, history and fabulous views. The 2nd tour on my birthday was the food walking tour; I’m a real foodie so perfect! ... There was an amazing selection of food a drink ... at a number of sit in and takeaway establishments in the town. Both tours come highly recommended. Thank you both for making my celebrations special."

"We arrived by cruise ship but instead of reserving through the cruise line, I wanted to check out a local historical walking tour for just my wife and me. Alex is a very friendly and knowledgable guide for this little town ... I highly recommend this very personal walking tour. ..."

"... As we walked around town she pointed out places of interest and regaled us with interesting facts and told stories about Ullapool and its people, then and now. We came away from the tour feeling we'd learned a lot not just about Ullapool but about life in general on the north west coast."

“Totally agree with previous reviews. Fantastic walking tour of Ullapool. Heike had a real enthusiasm for the area and had a natural and relaxed way of sharing her passion. Well worth spending the 2hrs in her company. Thank you.”

“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, ... 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!."

“... I booked a tour with the lovely Alex, who came armed with her incredible knowledge and a series of laminated images and posters for reference. I left the tour full of new facts ... Understanding the history of the places I visit is really important to me and I learned SO much from Alex.”

“Wonderful short walking tour from Ullapool lighthouse - geology, ecology and Vikings! 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 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.”
