Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Hiked up on our anniversary. About half of the East Schiehallion hike is on a clearly defined path but the boulder field to the summit can be challenging as some of the rocks are unstable. If you have any doubts when you get to the boulder field, you can still get see some beautiful views and turn back. I stuck with it though (due to my stubborn streak!) and made it to the top :)

    Recently stayed at Crieff Hydro for a corporate event - and what an event it was! Action Glen was incredible, we did a full afternoon of sports with everything from school sports day to sumo wrestling and an inflatable assault course. Shout out to Andrew Ross and the rest of the team who kept everyone motivated, entertained and above all having fun. Highly recommend to anyone interested, corporate or family, and be assured you will be well looked after. 5/5

    Very much enjoyed our visit to County Clays. Excellent communication from the start, great location and facilities and really enjoyed the event and our guide Davie who had a lifetime of experience and passion but was a great laugh and down to earth.

    Highly recommend going!

    What can I say - these guys are great. Had the pleasure of dealing with Dave and Adam, both of who are a credit to the store and made the process of renting and ultimately buying a bike a painless and pleasant process. Dave for the chats, sale and bike build and Andy for the easy transaction and pickup. Thanks to you both. Very knowledgeable, very helpful, great service and a lovely store to visit. If you're into bikes and in Dunkeld, get yourself in.

    My son did the beginners camp, and has not stopped talking about it. I watched him several times in action over the three days and always had a smile on his face. The two coaches were great with the kids and I think that the kids learned quite a bit.
    The facility itself is excellent, laid back, friendly and professionally run. I rented an e-bike for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed myself, even though I was only able to go down the blue runs, they felt like they were really enjoyable after three days. There are also loads of other forest trails and mountains to tackle near by.
    We'll definitely be back and I'd recommend anyone, of any experience level to get in touch with Comrie Croft to discuss giving it a go.

    EPIC Highland Swing!

    This place is incredible! The team here are super friendly, the activities are super insane (absolutely the right level of fun!)

    From start to finish the whole experience is super exciting! The team help to you get settled and sorted and hyped up for your experience. You can see they really enjoy thier job!

    You are given safety information and fitted into the harness and then off you go in the minibus to the location. Safety is key and the team here are super attentive, reassuring and fun! Double checking everything before you’re taken up to your starting point and off you go!

    The swing is super thrilling, super fun and I’d highly recommend it to anyone thinking about doing this! You are already half way there by reading this and let me tell you, you won’t regret it!

    I’ll be back soon for my next bungee & swing for sure!

    Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    I am a year late writing this review but wanted to make sure I finally got it done because Skinny Tyres is just fantastic. You could not ask for more from cycling tour organizer. My wife and I had just a wonderful experience.

    After a couple rounds of discussion to understand what we were looking for, Scot did a great job putting our routes together. We did the snow roads in the Cairngorms National Park area (killer climbs btw). Scot provided excellent bikes and completed a thorough fitting before we started our three days of riding. During the rides he was there for support (eg snacks, gear change, route info) but otherwise invisible giving us the feeling of riding on our own without any of the hassle organizing things.

    The one thing that I hadn't expected was the incredible riding photos that Scot took of us. He is a talented photographer and provided a thumb drive of some really beautiful pictures of us riding through the amazing scenery. The pictures alone are worth the total cost of the Skinny Tyre fees (which are quite reasonable).

    This is the second tour I have done with Skinny Tyres and I look forward to riding with them again someday. Really nice people too...

    The booking process was easy.

    When we turned up on the day for quad biking we were given helmets, gloves and mud suits (others don’t provide anything more than a helmet) and received a warm welcome.

    The biking itself was great fun and our guide took us over an assault course style track and let us go faster towards the end. The whole group had a great time.

    For those who had quad biked before, we agreed this was the most professional setup we had encountered.

    I organised Stag Do activities with Splash, paintballing in the morning and canyoning in the afternoon. Really impressed with the team, they picked us up from the accommodation in the morning, took us to both activities and dropped us back in the evening.
    Paintball was great, a good arena and variety of games and lots of paintballs included in the price.
    Canyoning was the highlight - we had to go to a different canyon due to the weather but the equipment provided was excellent and the activity itself was a lot of fun and a great way to blast out the end of a hangover.
    Would really recommend the Splash team to others - thanks again.

    Had a custom built activity day arranged here, all the things we wanted to do, had an amazing day and all the staff were an absolute credit. Even if you’re not specifically an ‘activity’ person, it’s wonderful day out in the beautiful surroundings.

    We wanted fun, and we got it. Absolutely would visit again.

    I’ve recently returned from a fantastic four day canyoning course with The Canyoning Company.

    Ben and George are truly exceptional at what they do, and their knowledge and skills, and ability to pass on to us as course participants is what makes them the best in the business.

    The fantastic resources and incredible local venues also add to what was a fantastic course.

    I can’t wait to head back for my assessment, then progress to the next level. I know that I will be well supported throughout my journey by the team at the Canyoning Company, and I encourage anyone with even an inkling of wanting to become involved with the sport (or even just jump in one of the companies amazing group days out) hit up these guys.

    You will thank me later!
