Absolute Escapes Traveller Reviews

The hike was made extremely relaxing knowing the AE team was always there to support. Professionally organized and attention to detail made us very comfortable.

Professional team from start to finish. Everything was arranged according to our needs.

I walked the St. Cuthbert's Way, solo, with baggage and accommodation support from Absolute Escapes. They helped me feel confident that I could do this on my own and I did!

They really have a conversation with the client to make sure they understand what will work best and then make it happen. The materials they provide are accurate and their service is reliable.

We spent time in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Callander, Oban and Inverness. We drove to each destination, taking detours and walks along the way. I was so surprised at the variety of landscape! I expected everything to be beautiful, I did not expect so many different landscapes. Forests, meadows, farmland, mountains, rivers and lochs. Every turn was something new and different, but always beautiful. There was sunshine our entire trip, that certainly helped show off the scenery!

Absolute Escapes had the perfect level of communication. They asked questions before providing an itinerary so that what we hoped to do and see would be achieved. They were friendly and timely in all communication.

The Heritage Coastal section of The Cleveland Way was excellent holiday in a beautiful part of Yorkshire. The scenery is stunning. The route hugs the coastline very closely and the panoramic views are out of this world. Each section has a slightly different feel and every coastal village hwe passed through as its own unique charms. The larger towns were enchanting in their own ways and all had points of interest to experience. This was my first distance walking holiday and I wasn't disappointed.

From start to finish everything about our Absolute Escapes holiday was first class. Right from the initial enquiry to the the final email checking our holiday had gone well,all communication was caring,informative and confidence inspiring. The accommodation provided was first class,clean,comfortable,friendly and perfectly placed for our route. Luggage transfer was slick and problem free. The trail information was spot on. Excellent all rou

I did the Cumbria Way walk and also the Scotland driving experience this year. Both were excellent and well organised by the team. I loved all the places I visited and the accommodation in all destinations was exceptional! I have done two other walking adventures with Absolute Escapes two years ago and that is why I booked these trips with the team again!

Very professional, knowledgeable and responsive. Great team!

We walked portions of the Cotswold Way and the SW Coast Path. The itinerary was arranged by Absolute Escapes, and included lodging and luggage service. We loved walking the countryside, and spending time in the small towns. The scenery was fantastic (especially along the coast) and we met so many wonderful people. A wonderful vacation!

I was so happy with the service from Absolute Escapes. I worked with two specialists, and they were very responsive to my specific needs while we planned a custom itinerary. And they answered all my questions as the trip approached. We were very well prepared for our walk. If we return to the UK for a walking holiday, we will definitely use them again.

I hiked the Skye Trail and Abs Esc organized accommodation and luggage transfer for me. Everything was organized perfectly, and all went smoothly.

They handled my needs with great flexibility.

We travelled from London to York by train. There we rented a Nissan car and drove from York to the Brontës house, Whitby and other nearby towns and places. We enjoyed specially the beautiful landscape, the many many sheeps and lambs, and also the wonderful people. In York we attended the Sunday mass at the impressive cathedral and visited the Fairfax House. Fantastic stay. Two weeks with sunny days; incredible. From York we travelled to Grasmere, a beatiful small town by the lake. This is the town where Wordsworth lived for several years and wrote the very important books. Also the house were Beatrix Potter wrote the loverly Peter Rabbit books. Wish we could have stayed more days in this area. Finally, we travelled back to Durham, another incredible place. The cathedral, what a monumental place. After three weeks of travel, we returned to London by train and then back to Chile, our home country.

Always helpful in designing our self-driving tour. Excellent service! Everything worked fine!

My father and I walked the Dales Way in April 2025, and we booked accommodation through Absolute Escapes. The walk was very enjoyable, and this was in no small part due to the quality of the accommodation and the detailed itinerary provided by Absolute Escapes

We booked in October 2024, and in the months leading up to the trip, the agents at AE were attentive to our requirements, knowledgeable about the detail of the specific itinerary, and the level of contact and communication was absolutely ideal (not too much, not too little).

Every where we stayed was friendly excellent food comfortable and warm.

Everyone we dealt with was absolutely brilliant, friendly helpful and accommodating.
