"Jack, what can I say other than thank you for being such an amazing guide. The whole experience was made all the better for having your company, both in terms of ensuring our well being and sharing your knowledge about Nevis. You are incredibly well suited to the job and an asset to Scottish tourism. I wish you well and hope that you are kept busy providing the fantastic service you offer." (via website feedback form)

"Jack you are simply brilliant. Calm collected kind and understanding. You got me to complete a climb, which I never thought I would, by encouragement and saying the right things at the right time. I will be eternally grateful to you for one of the best days of my life. Thank you :))" (via website feedback form)

"We had a most enjoyable day with Jack and two other climbers. We took the more challenging and beautiful Cearn Mór Dearg arête route up the mountain. Jack guided four of us up, and was excellent in ensuring all levels were advancing at a suitable pace and comfortably.
From the initial contact via email we found Jack to be just the right mix of informative, friendly and definitely very pleasant to deal with. His prices were transparent and actually among the best we had been quoted.
Above all Jack proved to be a lovely man to spend a gruelling mountain trek with and we enjoyed the experience immensely. Have no hesitation in using Best Nevis for your trek, especially if you want to veer from the "tourist" route.
Hope to be back for another challenge soon!" (Tripadvisor review)

"Just had two great days out with Jack in the hills of Knoydart.
What a great guy, who was not only a great guide but also over two long days became a friend.
Knowledgeable, reliable, friendly and a great guy to have a pint with after a long day, thanks!" (Tripadvisor review)

"For 8 years, myself, my friend and our two children, now aged 17 and 18 have set our sights on climbing Ben Nevis. We have achieved Scafell Pike and Snowden. It had always been an insurmountable challenge. This year we felt physically ready, but insecure about our map reading skills, and to be honest a bit scared. We contacted Jack, and were so pleased we had. He was a true gentleman. He met up with us the night before the climb to check our expectations and which route we wanted to climb. Our goal was to get to the top! On the day of the climb the weather conditions were not too good. At no one time during the climb did we see the summit. There was constant low lying cloud and mist. We had drizzle and rain. Throughout Jack was brilliant. He had taken extra water, chocolate bars, spare gloves and a rain mac. All ended up being used. He was so patient with my friend who struggled a little both going up and coming down. Jack provided so much support to help us achieve our goal and we are so grateful to him. We 100% recommend his services." (via website feedback form)

"Today's amazing climbing adventure on Ben Nevis wouldn't have been possible without the awesome Jack from Best Nevis Mountain Guiding! If you're ever in Fort William, it's worth finding out if he's available for guided walks up Ben Nevis and the surrounding area!" (Facebook)

"A few days in Scotland with the intention of climbing at the top of
Scotland.... We enjoyed meeting Jack and discover Ben Nevis on its North side:
with our 3 teenagers, we left the crowd and continue alone and look at fantastic
view of a mountain as beautiful as our 2000 meters high Alp's mountains. This
was an impressive and long climb but Jack knew every good path and we are very
proud to manage this climb! The sun didn’t rise on the Ben Nevis but in our
heart!!! Thank you very much, Jack!"
