Absolute Escapes Traveller Reviews

Walked the Great Glen Way over 6 days. Superb weather and wonderful experience. Superb country side and good accommodation.

Pro active with communication. No slip ups. Good follow up.

just had a excellent walking/cycling holiday in Scotish highlands booked through absoulute escapes The itinerary and accommodation was first class and could not fault,that along with the fantastic views made a very enjoyable and different holiday

no problems everything ok

I chose to do the 5 day Walk and as a first time walker found to be a little testing, however managed to do every stage quite comfortably even in choosing the the 2 higher route options, which might I add even though more difficult was much more rewarding the scenery and all the views were quite spectacular even with rain about for part of the time. overall the walk was a great experience and thoroughly enjoyable. Just one thing I would like to add about the trail, and it really a minor point and that is that at times i found myself wandering how far I'd travelled and or how far to the next destination, in talking to other walkers on the way they all expressed a similar opinion. perhaps just a milage indicator painted on some of the existing trail markers would be more than adequate. this however does not detract from the walk in any way, it would be just a nice to have.

I'm not sure that I can come up with any suggestions/recommendations as to how Absolute Escapes could improve the service and product that you offer as I found everything to be more than satisfactory, in fact excellent. even prior to my booking I found Absolute Escapes friendly and helpful with countless phone calls and emails even assisting me with information and links for me to get from London to Fort William and then Inverness back to London, invaluable help and saved me considerable time. on the trail I found everything to be extremely well organised and all went like clockwork, the accommodation was excellent all the hosts were very friendly and helpful and the luggage transfer people didn't miss a beat. a credit to you all at Absolute Escapes for doing such a wonderful job of organising such holidays I'd have no hesitation in recommending Absolute Escapes to anyone, thank You for a Great holiday.

We were a party of 7 and our 13 day trip included 2 days in Edinburgh, 1 day in Glasgow, 7 days walking the West Highland Way, 2 nights in Fort William and one final day in Edinburgh.We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Edinburgh climbing to the top of Arthur's Seat, attending the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, touring Edinburgh Castle, watching the many street performances associated with the Fringe Festival and strolling the Royal Mile. The walking the West Highland Way was an incredible adventure!! The scenery was simply spectacular and we met many other walkers from all over the world.

Absolute Escapes were delightful to work with. All of our accommodations were exactly as described and the detailed itinerary provided was extremely helpful. We only encountered one very small issue and it was handled very promptly despite occurring outside of normal business hours. I highly recommend Absolute Escapes!

After arrival in Tarbert on august 23d, we had beautiful weather all days of our walk. Overall we enjoyed every day of the walk, the diversity of the walk is sometimes a bit tough but especially beautiful and the views are absolute rewarding! We were welcomed with great hospitality in all the booked accommodations. As always we loved to be back in bonny Scotland (my fifth walk and seventh holiday overall). Met just a few people along the way but, as during all of our previous walks, everyone in Scotland is always very friendly, hospital and helpful!

The information provided in advance, the booked accommodations, everything met our needs. We are very content with the handling of our requests and the contact/info was more than sufficient.

Six-day walking holiday on the Ridgeway.

Absolute Escapes were very responsive in dealing with my special requests. The information they provided were reliable and useful. I'm a very satisfied customer.

Roadtripping in Scotland! - 3 nights Edinburgh during festivals - 1 night Fort William - Ferry to Skye for 2 nights in Portree - 2 nights in Inverness - 1 night airport hotel

Our trip was amazing. It went off without a hitch from the first check-in to last check-out. The team at Absolute Escapes did a great job arranging everything it was seamless. All the accommodation was very good and we made sure to visit as many of the recommendations in the itinerary as possible. We quickly discovered they knew what they were talking about.

The people at Absolute Escapes were very efficient right from the start. I had tried to contact another company offering a similar holiday but they did bother to respond to my query. Absolute Escapes replied very quickly with lots of information and prepared a holiday for him in record time. This involved arranging accommodation at seven different guesthouses, arranging for the transport of my luggage from guesthouse to guesthouse, and providing me with a detailed schedule of where to walk and what there was to see. They were friendly and courteous at all times and I had total confidence in their offering.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the team of Absolute Escapes for organising this wonderful introduction to Scotland. The selected accommodations were absolutely outstanding and the quality of the food was beyond expectation. Your itinerary description and various suggestions were spot on and left little to be desired. We will definitely return to Scotland.

Communications went smoothly and all our wishes were taken into account. All arrangements were perfectly in order.

In August 2016, two old friends and I walked the West Highland Way, the famous 152 km walk from Milganvy to Fort William, in the northwestern part of Scotland.

Absolute Escapes organized this beautiful walk, from A to Z, including B&B's, transportation of our luggage and full documentation e.g. maps and things to see. Amanda and her crew took care of all details, communicated everything well with us and were open to some of our suggestions for improvement.
