We enjoyed getting to see everything in Scotland, The Isle Of Skye, The Isle of Mull, and the Isle of Iona. The accommodations were great and the food delicious!! Our guide ,Gordon, was very good, being a Scotsman himself. He certainly knew his country.
The crew (skipper, bosan, guide,cook) were all professional and fun and ensured all the guests were safe, enjoying themselves and extremely well fed. Each evening the following days barge trip was outlined as were the walking options. As the barge had to negotiate many locks there were many hop on/hop off points for those not wanting to walk the entire Great Glen. The scenery both from the barge and the well maintained walking tracks was so spectacular that the light rain each day of our trip seemed insignificant. The facilities on the barge were very comfortable and it was fun having meals all together around one large table. The cabins were comfortable and the showers functioned exceptionally well with good pressure and warmth. Our only suggestion would be the reconfiguration of the split level bed to two singles would suit the majority of travelers in our age group of retirees.
This was our first walking trip in Europe and we had a good time. The route is a mix of canal paths and roads and trails through farms and forests above the lochs. A lot of the forests you see are tree farms, less scenic than a natural forest. Would recommend taking the high routes where possible for nice views of the lochs and highlands. They did a fine job with arranging the lodging and handling the luggage transfers. They also made sure that each B&B was aware of my wife's dietary restrictions.
