Absolute Escapes Traveller Reviews

The trip was absolutely planned out perfectly and was WONDERFUL! This trip allowed us to see a sizable portion of Scotland and to experience the different cultures. From the Highlanders to Glaswegians and over to Edinburgh, we truly had a pleasant holiday. The people we very warm to us and we always felt safe walking the streets any time day or night. Absolute Escapes planned everything perfectly. What was impressive is when we took the ferry across from Malaig to Armadale. As soon as we were ashore, a taxi pulled up, called my wife by name, loaded our bags name and took us to our guest house in Portree. It was like a planned movie scene! All of the spots were beautiful. The weather was a bit drizzly but a rainy day in Scotland is much better than a work day in the states! The trip was planned where you had accommodations made already so the rest of the day we were on our own to see whatever we wanted to see with no tight schedule. Loch Lomond was incredible. Being on Loch Ness and visiting an old castle was a dream. but I have a special place in my heart for the small tucked-away town of Dunoon, the Firth of Clyde and Holy Loch where my memories remain vivid! Inverness and Pitlochry were fantastic as well. I My wife and I wish to thank all of the staff at Absolute Escapes for going the extra mile in planning this very personalized trip custom made for us. Thank you again! Regards Steven & Tina - Alabama

The staff at Absolute Escapes personalized our trip based upon what we wanted and custom made it for us.

Seven days of great walking in the Highlands. Family group of 3 for most of it. 4 for a bit of it.

Absolute Escapes have been very friendly and efficient and understanding when we had to change dates.

We (me, my daughter her roommate and her mother and a friend) walked the WHW at the end of August. I loved it so much I came back in October and did the Speyside Way solo. They were both just amazing trips.

Absolute Escapes worked closely with me to make sure I had exactly the trips I wanted. The accommodations were just perfect and everything went very smoothly. It was the trip of a lifetime! Except that I will do it again!

We enjoyed everything, even the rough ferry crossing! The accommodation was excellent and the landladies very helpful. Lovely restaurants , and wonderful sea views from all over the island. Quiet roads and friendly people.

Very helpful

The holiday was an 8 Day trekking holiday with 9 nights accommodation and baggage transfer with taxi pick ups.

The booking was quick and efficient, the guidance was clear, concise and accurate. So, overall I am very happy with the holiday I've had.

I went on a 1 week walking holiday from Newquay to Penzance along the South West Coastal footpath. Stayed at B and Bs each night with luggage transfer between each overnight stop The weather was good, the organisation and accommodation excellent. As for the walking and scenery the word that comes to mind is fantastic

Absolute Escapes organised all the accommodation and luggage transfers for all 8 nights of the holiday. All went smoothly to plan They also provided a detailed walking guide and maps as well as clear guidance as to location of each evenings B and B, as well as advice re the best options each evening for meals in the successive destinations

We did the North Coast 500, plus Skye and Orkney. Everything went smoothly, there were no hiccups or problems along the way, and the accommodation (and hosts) were excellent all the way round. Even the weather was good (most of the time).

Excellent.

We walked the West Highland Way and it was so relaxing having all the arrangements made for us. All the accommodation was great and the luggage transfers very efficient.

Absolute Escapes were very efficient and very flexible with changing things to suit our requirements. Also very easy to contact and I felt I was dealing with an individual which is really quite unusual these days.

Loved every step we took - beautiful and varied scenery, with good weather. The Way was busy, as were the overnight locations, but that was to be expected due to Covid and didn’t detract from the great experience.

This is the second time Absolute Escapes has organised our holiday. Everything went smoothly - I can’t fault them. Staff were efficient, helpful and friendly.

An excellent walk on the Pembroke Coast Path - only spoilt by the army closing the Castlemartin Artillery Range. Accommodation of a very good standard, planning and information from Absolute Escapes excellent, weather mainly good = a fine holiday experience!

This is the sixth National Trail I have completed with Absolute Escapes - I think that says enough about how pleased I am with them!!
