Absolute Escapes Traveller Reviews

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

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.

Very knowledgeable, professional and most importantly friendly! They always made you feel like we where the only clients they had to support!

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 helpful. Everything was perfect and we enjoyed it very much. Thank you.

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.

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.

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.

The company was superbly organised and communicated well.

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.

We chose the Herriot Way as it offered a slightly shorter route for our first adventure. We relied heavily on the route provided and were grateful for the extra details and comments which kept us on track. The luggage transfer worked like clockwork. Each hotelier was knowledgable and went the extra mile - one even washed our wet, muddy trousers and placed them in the boot drying room for morning. We were particularly impressed with the standard of accommodation as we assumed we might be compromised given we had a small dog in tow. The Herriot Way was a good way to ‘dip our toes’ but now we’ve got the bug and are researching our next trip.

They provided everything we needed for our first walking holiday. It worth paying for their expertise.

Absolute Escapes clearly know their stuff. Our accommodation was first class, evening recommendations spot on, and communication with their specialist was friendly and efficient. Not least, our walk on the South West Coast Path from Poole to Weymouth was incredibly beautiful. Thanks for organising the great weather too!

As above - couldn't be faulted. We'd highly recommended Absolute Escapes.

My partner and I went to Scotland at the end of September to walk for about a week. I had not taken part in a journey like this before, but my partner had. I was hesitant about the experience, but have come home raving about it and cannot wait to take part in one again. We walked for a few hours every day through glorious countryside and landed in quaint villages and towns with plenty to explore. Even when tired from the walking, we refreshed ourselves in order to get out to the pub. All of our accommodations were lovely and each host made us feel very welcome and comfortable. I would recommend every single place that we stayed! The walks themselves varied greatly from day to day and we were constantly in awe of the scenery. Even if we encountered rain, there was always a rainbow. We can't wait to go back!

Absolute Escapes was wonderful to work! I come from a travel industry background, so I can be picky. But everyone that I had contact with was helpful and friendly, providing all of the information we would need to prepare properly and get from point A to B each day. They booked the most wonderful accommodations for us along the way, and our luggage was carried ahead for us so that we only had to carry what we need for the day. I would book with Absolute Escapes again without question.

We began in Edinburgh for five days, then began our driving adventure northward through the Kingdom of Fife, where we did a spectacular walk on the Coastal path. Our adventure through the wild countryside of Scotland took us all the way to Orkney, then down to the islands of the Hebrides and finally to the West Highlands. We walked nearly every day, rain or shine, and have indelible memories of the people, mountains, lochs, castles, cathedrals, ancient sites, and dramatic scenery of Sotland.

This was a complex trip and Absolute Escapes did a perfect job of organizing it in great detail for us. The driving directions, accommodations, sightseeing recommendations, and restaurant recommendations were all spot on. Plus, they were friendly and wonderful to deal with. We would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Scotland.
