Fantastic Day on Tower Ridge
I had a fantastic day climbing Tower Ridge with Scott from Elite Guides. He knows all the rocks and moves on the mountain, from countless times reaching the summit, allowing me to experience the climb and challenge myself while keeping the climb safe and moving along the right route. We ascended Tower Ridge and then descended Ledge Route. This combination made the day a full and amazing experience. I highly recommend Scott and Elite Guides.

Very informative, efficient and friendly staff.
Very easy to book tickets on line.
Can be chilly on the water even in sunshine. Suggest taking a coat just in case.

Jamie and Tartan Tours are the best!
We can't say enough wonderful things about Jamie and this tour. When we return to Scotland, Jamie will do our tours! His experience and knowledge of the area is top notch. His personality is awesome and the ride is so comfortable. The tour length was spot on for all that we got to see! Jamie and Tartan Tours Fort William are gems! We loved it!

Excellently organized and professionally guided walk up Ben Nevis
Very well organized walk, with good and detailed information from Abacus on beforehand. I was happy to be able to borrow walking poles instead of having to rent them. My guide, Floortje, was excellent! By chance, it was a groups of 1 and I was alone with the guide, which made for the perfect way to climb Ben Nevis. Thank you Floortje and thank you Abacus!

Great experience
Really excellent experience. The D's (skippers and tour guides) were knowledgeable and entertaining. The views were beautiful and the experience was not reduced by the rainy weather. Would highly recommend.

Perfectly pitched guidance
Scott took myself and a friend up Tower Ridge and was precise, calm, and easygoing with his guidance in a way that was remarkable and clearly the result of much preparation and skill. Even the more alarming looking parts felt perfectly doable in the moment, and it was such a delight to just relax into the puzzle-solving aspect and the stunning scenery. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience, absolutely book them!

Fort William Speed Boat Adventure 60 minutes50PeteS, Aug 2026
Superb Rib adventure on Loch Linnhe.
We had a brilliant 60 minutes of adventure on the inflatable boat from start to finish. A very knowledgeable and eloquent young skipper who explained all the necessary safety procedures and made sure everyone was fully equipped with life jacket etc. The trip was enhanced by lovely weather, plus berthing alongside the local trawler who was kind enough to give us a demonstration on pulling up their baskets for lobster and langoustines. Visited the seal island and there must have been 30 plus seals sunning themselves. Did some fast boat manoeuvres. All in all a great time had by all on loch linnhe. Would certainly recommend, we will certainly return. By the way, we are in our 80s.
