Ben Vrackie Hill Walking Day Trip from Edinburgh

Top notch experience! We had Ross as a private guide to climb Ben Vrackie. Communications were great and fast. No issues whatsoever. Would definitely recommend! Very professional team.

Gordon...what a guy. Our excursion truly wouldn't be the same without him! He was full of interesting facts about our surroundings, answered all questions, and was a great whistler too. Not only did he make us feel completely safe during the hike, but he also has a strong adoration and respect for nature that makes you appreciate the experience so much more. We couldn't recommend him enough!!

Wonderful tour, our guide Gordon was great. He was able to answer lots of questions, kept us appraised of the weather and even got us out of a sticky situation that could have ruined the whole day! Absolutely would go again. Ben Vrackies is a great hike for experienced hikers, that last bit is pretty much a mile of stair case.

To anyone looking to tour Scotland (in a non-touristy, somewhat physically active way): A. There are walking tours and there are OUTDOOR tours. If you want to rent a van and go from point to point to point buying souvenirs/coffee/whisky, this may not be for you (but read on, please). B. Scotland is a beautiful country will all kinds of nooks, crannies and complicated roads - it’s best to have a seasoned navigator. C. Most tour groups in Scotland operate under managed standards. But not ALL of them are equipped to offer, support, maintain and encourage ‘nature’ experiences. D. Those looking to get-out into the countryside and experience all that Scotland has to offer should start at Intrepedus. E. Intrepidous can handle the spectrum - half-day walks in the countryside to the wild/wooly fun stuff in caverns/coast/big-climbs. F. THIS IS WHY ‘PEOPLE LIKE US’ TRAVEL - to see what makes each place unique, beautiful and good. Intrepidus is in-it for the experience of sharing the great natural features of Scotland with the world. :) G. Pack your own food, water. Expect a guide/guides who care deeply about their work, clean and trendy transport and an experience that will utterly be worth the fee. Bottom line - party of five of us climbed Ben Vrackie, an experience that was navigated and narrated by Entrepidus; outstanding time learning much of Scotland, the nature and culture of the land. Happy to answer questions but heartily recommend and will 100% use them again.

Gordon was our guide and he was completely trustworthy. He shared pros/cons of different mountain options based on his extensive experience. We ended up having a lovely day climbing Ben-I-vrackie. Only one other couple was in our tour so it really felt private and tailored to us. Lots of flora and fauna info on the way. Stunning views with time to eat our lunch at the top. Just the right amount of strenuousness. Just a great day of hiking.
