  I have spent the past 20 years longing to walk Ben mor Coigach and thanks to McKenzie mountaineering my dream was realised. I cannot thank Ben enough for this experience.... read more My severe lack of fitness didn’t seem to matter too much and the group were very friendly and understanding. But it really was a totally WOW!! experience and the views were even better in real life than in photos. You really do have to see it to believe it. Loved every minute of it even if I did have to Wade through a burn! Cannot recommend these guys enough. They are so friendly and laid back putting you totally at ease. Hopefully I will manage something else with them next year when I return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  Since first coming to the area of Assynt in 2004, I have wanted to go up Suilven and this year I finally did, with the much appreciated leadership and guidance... read more of Ben. What a day! In the build up, Ben and Rosie were excellent with plenty of useful information and support. I felt prepared and ready. Ben picked me up and we started the day with an amazing cycle ride close to the start of the ascent. Ben was very knowledgeable regarding all things bikes and was appreciated going over tricky terrain. On the walking section, again Ben was very supportive and of course on the ride back. A thoroughly enjoyable day was made even better by Ben’s excellent and friendly company, fantastic support and knowledge and of course in completing the long sought after challenge. I would easily recommend this company and Ben and Rosie to anyone thinking of going up Suilven or any of their other activities and can’t wait for next year to have another adventure with them. Many thanks for a brill day! …

  A brilliant guided walk in a small group up one of Scotland's most iconic mountains, Stac Pollaidh. Always wanted to climb it since a camping holiday in the Geopark when... read more I was a kid. Perfectly judged to accommodate varying fitness levels within the group, and full of fascinating information about the Assynt landscape, geology, flora and fauna - could not have been better. Despite the significant physical effort involved in getting up and down, and the need for care in some of the more precipitous parts of the path, a thoroughly relaxing, stress-free and enjoyable experience. Scotland at its best. …

  I joined their 2021 west highland way tour and walked 96 miles in 7 days which was the best experience for me. Our tour guides, Rosie and Ben, were extremely... read more helpful, kind, considerate, and professional. It was my first time to walk multiple days continuously and I would not be able to complete 96 miles without their advices and encouragements. I highly recommend joining tours orgainsed by Mckenzie Mountaineering. 我参加了西高地2021徒步团， 从刚开始咨询信息到徒步结束整个过程，两位向导都一直非常专业并乐于助人。我没有登山杖，向导就把他的借我用了几天。路上介绍了苏格兰的风土人情，受益匪浅。如果您打算去苏格兰徒步，强烈推荐加入Mckenzie Mountaineering 组织的团。 …

  We did a hike to Scoraig peninsula, which was fantastic. Our guide organised a RIB boat crossing from Ullapool to take us to the start of the walk, and we... read more were also incredibly lucky to see a pod of dolphins with their young while doing the crossing. This was a very special start to the day. We then crossed over the hill into the off-grid village before walking along a dramatic coastal path. Our Guide Rosie is a very knowledgeable and told us lots of interesting facts about the village community and we learnt so much from her about the flora. The pace of the walk accommodated people with varying levels of fitness and we all finished the walk feeling like we had achieved a substantial walk without feeling exhausted. This was because the group all chatted with each other and whenever Rosie stopped to allow people to chat up, she had a story to tell about the plant or animal life, which meant we weren’t thinking about the distance we walked or the fact we were allowing some people to catch up: it was so well judged. As a result of doing this walk I signed up to do another walk which I will write a separate review for. I would highly recommend McKenzie Mountaineering. …

  We did two walks with Ben one up to the mountain Fiddlah and one out on the Scoraig peninsula . Both days were excellent. He’s a great guide full of... read more enthusiasm and interest and we always felt he had our safety at heart. We also rented bikes and these were the best hybrid rental bikes we’ve had anywhere. Really good quality and light. We hope to come back and do some more trips with Ben and would thoroughly recommend him. Thanks Ben! …
