Reviews of Absolute Escapes










Outstanding Outer Hebrides Experience
We had a fantastic time island hopping in the Outer Hebrides. All of the transfers went smoothly and all the guest houses we stayed in were perfect and we were made to feel very welcome. The detailed information provided by Absolute Escapes also helped us plan our days and pick out places we wanted to visit and where to eat on each of the islands. Amazing holiday with none of the stress of organising a self-drive tour.

Hiking in the Scottish Highlands
In April we spent 5 days hiking and exploring the Scottish Highlands. We were based in Aviemore and it was a great location, easily accessible to major roads. The village was quaint and our B&B was fantastic. We would definitely use Absolute Escapes again.

Megan Bruce was very professional, patient and helpful and answered all of our questions promptly. The hiking suggestions/itinerary she put together for us was wonderful! We traveled to South Africa first and she helped us arrange with our B&B to ship our hiking gear over early and it was waiting for us when we got there. Highly recommend her and the company!
Thank you for your kind words Darian. We're so glad you enjoyed your time in Scotland and it was our pleasure to assist with the planning of your trip. If we can help with a future adventure please don't hesitate to get in touch. With best wishes, Megan Bruce

Walking the Speyside Way.
Had a wonderful week of walking. Absolute Escapes had arranged for luggage transfer and booked us really great B&B’s. They supplied good documentation, tips and maps to guide us through the route. We enjoyed beautiful weather the whole week, all in all a great experience.

Had contact with them over the phone beforehand and had all my questions answered, received all necessary documentation in the post well in advance. Arrangements were faultless.
Thank you very much for taking the time to give us this fantastic feedback Eiko. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time on the Speyside Way and we hope we can assist you with future walking holidays! Best wishes, Pippa Robson





Walking with Hadrian!
A six day walk along the Hadrians Wall Path from Newcastle to Bowness - no rain at all, lots of Roman remains, excellent food and good walking. What more can you ask for!!

Cannot find fault - all paperwork was sorted efficiently and arrived well in advance of the walk. The information given was very comprehensive. On the walk itself all accommodation was very good and the bag transfer went without a hitch
Thank you for your lovely feedback Steve. We're delighted to hear that you had a great holiday on the Hadrian's Wall Path without a single drop of rain! Thank you once again for your booking and we hope to hear from you with regards to your next walking adventure! Best wishes, Pippa Robson





Cairngroms Walking Holiday
Wonderful experience from the planning though the actual visit! Absolute Escapes provided an exceptional travel experience from the first e-mail/phone call to their recommendations and guidance! We could not be any happier and can't wait for another visit to Scotland which we will do with Absolute Escapes.

wonderful walking tour on the SWCP
Hiking along the SWCP was a great experience to us. Last year we went from St Ives to Coverack. It was mavelous. And we thought, this year it couldn’t be as great as last year. But it was. We enjoyed the trip very much, the breathtaking view all day long and the wonderful path, the well chosen nice accomodations and the length of the day‘s stage was exactly suitable for us. Your additional tips to the walk and for the evening also were ...

The team of Absolute Escape planned our tour very exactly and offered optimal adaptation to our needs in length of the day‘s stage and accomodations.
Thank you for your lovely review Berta. The South West Coast Path is such a wonderful walk and we're delighted we were able to make the arrangements for your trip and help you explore another section this year. You're well on your way to completing all 630 miles, so if we can be of any assistance for future walks please do get in touch. With best wishes, Megan Bruce.





West Highland Way
I walked over five days, and was blessed with some very good weather. The early days along Loch Lomond were great, but my favourite days were further on in the mountains and valleys. I walked by myself, but you start to see some familiar faces along the way, and in the hotels at night which is nice. It's a wonderful experience, that i highly recommend.

The pre-trip communications were timely and comprehensive, and the information pack provided was very useful. I was really pleased with the quality of the accommodation, at all venues the staff were friendly and the rooms and meals were excellent. I am contemplating a similar holiday next year, and will definitely use Absolute Escapes again.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We're delighted that you enjoyed your walking holiday on the West Highland Way, and that the arrangements we made showcased some of the best of what Scotland has to offer!
It was our pleasure to organise your trip and we look forward to welcoming you back for another walking holiday soon. All the very best, Charlotte Wood.





Smoothly organised and enjoyable!
Walking a national trail is an amazing journey and having all my accommodation and transfers when needed all organised, makes the whole process easy. I only had to focus on putting one foot in front of the other and enjoy the walking.

Great self-drive Scotland Tour with B&B's
2.5 days in Edinburgh, them FT. William, Skye, Aviemore, back to Edinburgh. Hiking, sightseeing, Scottish music. All b&B's provided were excellent. No issues with rental car. We had asked for economy automatic, wound up with Mercedes at no extra cost (that's all they had). Actually enjoyed driving on single track roads. All info provided by Absolute escapes was excellent.

Lots of information provided. Took into account our desires for type of trip. Good and very timely pre-trip communications. B&B's provided and car rental all very good. I would highly recommend.
