Absolute Escapes Traveller Reviews

Our trip to Scotland was truly amazing. We fell in love with your beautiful country. Going by train, we believe, was the best way to be able to see it. Everything Absolute Escapes planned for us, went according to plan. The hosts at all the Bed and Breakfasts were friendly and helpful. They helped us get taxis, showed us how to catch the bus, did our laundry, and more. All the arranged transportation worked out beautifully. We felt you gave us an excellent list of things to do and places to eat in each place we visited. Everyone we dealt with at Absolute Escapes, especially Jack and Katia, were amazing to work with. They were quick to answer any questions or deal with any issues we had before our trip. This made us feel as ready for our trip as we could be. This was a great comfort.

Absolute Escapes, Katia Fernandez Mayo and Jack McKenna were great to work. Very helpful and knowledgeable.

Wonderful trip, breath taking scenery, well organised trip. Knowledgable tour operator with valuable tips and guidance.

6days doing the Great Glen way. Absolutely beautiful. I little bit of rain but didn’t dampen our spirits with the stunning views.

They were brilliant. The maps and books they sent before were so useful and great for a little research before you went. They has also written up some really useful daily sheets of places to eat, advising to pre book as there isn’t many places around. There was also some info about each days walk and things to see a little off the track if you wanted.

We had a great time and saw some fantastic wildlife, including the incredibly elusive Corncrake on Iona. Also had an amazing day out with Andrew Tomison Mullwildlifetours and a fab boat trip to Staffa with Staffa tours. Weather could have been better but we did not let it spoil our holiday. Linda our B & B host at the Carnaburg B and B in Tobermory Mull was great and Margaret our host in The Gables Portreeon Skye was amazing, looking after us We had a great time and saw some fantastic wildlife, including the incredibly elusive Corncrake on Iona.

Fabulous service and holiday planned for us, the itinerary was really helpful with some great recommendations- would definitely recommend

We really enjoyed the walking and loved the variety throughout the week - from the pretty stretches along Loch Lomond to the open vistas across Rannoch Moor and into Glen Coe.The displays of bluebells in the early part of the walk were fantastic, and the views both after climbing out of Glen Coe and on leaving Kinlochleven were stunning.

We had a great time and everything worked very well. Our luggage was always at our destination before us, sometimes even in the room!

Excellent 65 mile hiking experience. Would highly recommend Absolute Escapes to anyone.

Walking across the highlands was the best holiday I have ever been on. Experiencing the landscape of such a beautiful country on foot is intimate and deeply rewarding. Walking brings body, mind and heart together as you face whatever nature offers to you. It is a spiritual and physical endeavor and I can't wait to travel at this pace again. I am hooked.

From start to finish, Andy Gabe, and the whole crew at Absolute Escapes, were fantastic. We had planned our walk along the West Highland Way in Scotland for May, 2020 but were unable to travel due to the pandemic. Our deposit was held for two years until we were able to travel safely. Absolute Escapes offers superb communication and care. They were easy to reach and we loved how personal they were in their attention to each detail of our trip. We are very pleased we chose Absolute Escapes for our walking holiday. We will certainly use them again in the near future.

We made the WHW in 8 days. Every night we stayed in hotels or cottages on the way. Our baggage was transferred every day to the next place we stayed.

Absolute Escape (our tour operator) was excellent. The places we stayed were very good as we hope them to be. Our luggage arrived every day on time to the places we stayed and they were very keen to help us in every question we had.

We spent 30 days driving ourselves on a pre-arranged itinerary that included Loch Lomond, Oban, Mull, the Outer Hebrides, the northwest Highlands, the Orkneys, and the Shetlands. We enjoyed the scenery, the people, the accommodations, and the food!

Absolute Escapes organized a wonderful self-driving tour including the rental car, itinerary, hotels, and ferries for a 30-day vacation in Scotland. Absolute Escapes was very easy to work with, responsive to our requests, and everything worked perfectly.

Did a 7 day walking holiday on the West Highland Way. All the accommodation was spotlessly clean and the hosts friendly and really helpful. Baggage Transfers were excellent.

Great service from original enquiry to booking then follow up information was perfect. Great advice in the pack.
