Absolute Escapes Traveller Reviews

We had a marvellous time in Scotland. We were very pleased with the accommodation that was booked for us. All were excellent, particularly the setting in Pitlochry. Our main expeditions to the Tattoo, Royal Yacht Britannia, Birnam Highland Games and Jacobite train were all something we have wanted to do for a long time and were looking forward to. All of them met and exceeded our expectations and along with general sightseeing, a spectacular walk in the Highlands and dining/wining, have given us many remarkable memories. The travelling wasn't too irksome. It might have been easier if we took less luggage, we had clothing for every possibility, but in the end the weather was very good (most of the time!) Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Scotland and are sure your planning and advice made it a lot easier for us and we would have no problem recommending you.

We walked from Inverness to Fort William in 6 days. It's a very nice walk with great views and wide landscapes. It's forth the effort.

Our tour operator was always very helpful and experienced, so that we could concentrate on the walk itself as well as the beautiful landscapes of the Highlands.

The accommodation was again excellent and the distances every day were just right, taking into account stops highlighted in the info provided. Scenery perfect.

Communication from the Company was excellent. The information provided was very useful and easy to follow

Great walking experience in Scotland, with awesome scenery and great food!

Perfect organisation of our walking tour, everything worked perfectly! The B&Bs were all great, wonderful and very friendly hosts!

Scotland was amazing, better than we could have hoped. The service and hospitality of the people were incredible, as was the quality of accommodation and the kindness/welcome of all our hosts. Stand out stays were the Manor House Hotel in Oban, Peinmore House on Skye (best breakfast ever!) and the Glenelg Inn. Highlights – 1. The Scenery. 2. CafeFish on Mull 3. White-tailed eagles trip. 4. Sea kayaking (and seeing eagles, seals and otters!) 5. Sandaig (Gavin Maxwell.)

Absolute Escapes itinerary and guide notes were superb. From my initial inquiry to the follow-up their service has been exemplary. All the accommodation was of the highest standard and the restaurant recommendations were excellent. Of particular note was the effort they went to in securing us accommodation in the Glenelg Inn, to enable us to visit Sandaig, where Gavin Maxwell wrote Ring of Bright Water and his ashes are buried - An extremely moving experience.

An achievement, time and space for inner stillness & peace while surrounded by stunning scenery, bird song, the kiss of history and the ever changing dramatics of the weather.

Staff were friendly and helpful. The service was reliable and efficient. I made enquiries, organized and booked my holiday from Australia with no issues. The information provided was excellent. The directions were correct and easy to follow and additional information in regards to various places and its history made the journey even more interesting. There was also a handy list of emergency contacts details and suggest clothing to take which proved to be just the right amount. The various B&Bs were great will obliging hosts, comfortable bed and hot showers. My bags were picked up and delivered to my next B7B each day without issues.

We used Absolute Escapes to plan a 7-day self guided walking holiday along the John Muir Way. We were very pleased with their travel services. The John Muir Way was well marked, the accommodations were very nice, the breakfasts were great, our luggage was always waiting for us when arrived at the next destinations, and our pre-arranged taxi pickup was on time and at the right place! We would definitely use Absolute Escapes services again and would recommend them to other travelers.

Very thorough and dependable

we had a great time in Scotland and enjoyed traveling the country very much The tour was extremely well prepared and easy for us to follow. We liked the various B&Bs you selected while quality of the accommodation and food was at high levels and the landlords always very kind and supportive. Thanks to your restaurant proposals and early-booking warnings we always found good places and enjoyed some great dinners. Just one learning we took - 7 days was too short as there are so many beaitiful places to see and exciting things to do. Thus need to come back -:)

Absolute Escapes did a phantastic job before, during and after the trip. Everything was well prepared, the material very helpful and reliable. The particular travel tips gave us good insights on what to do and see while driving our dily routes. At any time our service provider was reachable and we received a good service, enjoying the friendly and supportive staff and once when needing extraordinary support we got immediate help outside of office hours.

It is the 4th time we are travelling with Absolute Escape and I have to say it only gets better. We had a fantastic time, Absolute Escape is absolutely brilliant and very reliable in organising amazing holidays in Scotland and England.

We have been travelling and organising holidays with Absolute Escape for the 4th time. This agency is absolutely great in organising the most wonderful trips in England and Scotland. We are going to use them again in a couple of month time, doing the coastal path around the Isle of Wight. The quality and service is absolutely excellent.

As for the walk; this was our first long distance walking experience; and we loved it…. We have been lucky on most days regarding the weather. On 2 ½ days we had to pack out the rainproofs. we did not expect so much of the distance to be walked in the forest, which was a pleasent surprise.

We have been very pleased with the choice of hotels and guesthouses that you guys did for us. Especially the Glengary guesthouse in Tyndrum and the Allt-na-Leven guesthouse in Kinlochleven were outstanding. Luggage transport worked out extremely well too, makes the experience even more of a pleasure.
