Absolute Escapes Traveller Reviews

Myself, my husband, his uncle and his elderly father (81 yrs old) all recently took part in the Speyside Way Walk. My husband and I could only complete three days as we had a prior commitment in Paris but the other two of our party completed the six day hike. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were so pleased with the accommodations as well as the delicious meals we got to enjoy after a day of walking. We will certainly be back next year to do another walk with Absolute Escapes. They were very well organized and had wonderful people taking care of us at each nights resting point. Thank you so much.

Absolute Escapes was able to work with us to design a walk where two people did three days and two people did six days. Everything worked our perfectly and we would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone looking to do this kind of holiday.

Scott Smyth at Absolute Escapes planned my husband and I an incredible 9 day Scotland adventure. He included all the information we could have possibly needed to not only navigate an area completely new to us, but to also understand the history and culture around us. It was an excellent experience and we would high recommend Absolute Escapes!

Excellent

Most enjoyable and interesting, the Outer Hebrides clearly lived up to our expectations.

Our holiday would have been difficult for us to arrange in advance as we knew very little about the Outer Hebrides but using Absolute Escape it was made easy.They were very prompt coming back to us when we had questions. Their choice of accomodation was perfect, our first couple of days after a long journey was in a very comfortable hotel, then we moved onto an extreemly comfortable B&B run by a lovely lady and final, our last night in an expencive hotel, which was a perfect way to finish a most enjoyable holiday. I would have no hesitation in recomending Absolute Escapes to anybody.

We spent eight days walking the Rob Roy Way. We added an extra day to extend the route. We were very glad we did this as we did find it the most impressive part of the walk. Absolute Escapes were very helpful in organising everything.

Absolute Escapes were brilliant. They organised excellent B&Bs, bag carrying and transport where and when needed. They were most helpful and the whole operation was seamless. WE were given excellent maps and directions and a book about the walk which gave us all the information we needed to make the most of the trip. They suggested an extension to the trip which we were very glad about because it turned out to be the highlight of our time there. We were very impressed and will seek them out again for further such trips we decide to make.

10 Day tour by train starting in Edinburgh - Ft William - Isle of Skye - Inverness - Pitlochry - Edinburgh.

Absolute Escapes put together a wonderful itinerary and selected very fine places for us to stay. They appeared to be the best accomodations in all of the places we stayed. Very well organized and thought out - and we plan on returning in the not too distant future.

The holiday was both fun and educational. We arrived in Edinburgh and went directly to Inverness for two days. From there to Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis. From there back to Pitlochry and then finished with two days in Edinburgh. We enjoyed the whole trip which included fishing for trout on Loch Ness, visiting historical sites, enjoying the country-side views, whiskey tasting, a ghost tour, visiting castles and shopping on the Royal Mile.

My tour operator, Sine Nielson, along with Andy Gabe, was the best. I asked her to come up with a personalized itinerary based on what my wife and I wanted to see. Sine produced a tailor-made holiday in no time at all with all the details needed for a stress-free trip. Then, at the last minute she was asked to change the itinerary based on recommendations from my wife. Sine was very accommodating and made the changes with no hesitation and no fuss. The trip turned out perfect. I recommend Sine and Andy for any tour of Scotland.

We had no tour operator

Walking the whole Cleveland Way from Helmsley to Filey was an amazing experience. There were plenty of bustling towns, high cliffs and desolate moors. I think that it is this combination of different landscapes which make the Cleveland Way so unique.

They organised my holiday very quickly and sent me immediately all the information I needed. The documents I got were all very helpful during the tour. Regarding the places of overnight stay, they had made an excellent choice of accommodation which I appreciated a lot. I always felt very welcome and enjoyed my stay - even if it was for just one night.

A fairly long walk, The West Highland Way and The Great Glen Way, at a comfortable speed in a wonderful landscape, blessed with the most surprising weatherluck in an area - Scotland - not normally known for its stable weather.

Everything planned turned out, exactly according to plan, a plan, that I had ample time and opportunity to influence and familiarize myself with. Not a singel glitz anywhere.

Extremely attentive with a personal touch, accommodating to special requests and generally an enthusiastic team!
