The Cleveland Way - An Unforgettable Walking holiday
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.
Thank you so much for your comments. We're pleased to hear you had an unforgettable experience and that everything went smoothly for you. We do hope you will consider us again if you decide to take on another long distance walking challenge in the future. Amanda MacDonald





A walk in the park..
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.
Thank you for very much for your great comments. We were delighted that you enjoyed your 14 day walk along the West Highland Way and Great Glen Way - a fantastic achievement! Scott Smyth

fantastic experience everything i had expected and more.
wanted to go on a walking holiday and be able to take my dog. wanted a decent walk to challenge myself without too much map reading as i have a useless sense of direction and the great glen way was the perfect walk. very lucky with the weather, met some great people of the way, and so much varied scenery to walk through.

very helpful and worked very hard to find me accommodation which would take a dog as i didnt know how difficult this would be. very pleased with the accommodation they organised and also the lifts which were required in some cases. maps and information regarding the walk a great help too.
Thank you for taking the time to write us a review after your Great Glen Way walk. We were delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience and that all the arrangements were to your satisfaction. Hopefully we can assist you again in the future if you and your dog feel like embarking on another walking adventure. Sine Nielsen





West Highland Way expedition.
My brother, sister and I had a fabulous five day break with Absolute Escapes taking all the strain of arranging the holiday and luggage transportation from us. The guides and maps were high quality and the support information, which we didn't need, was excellent. We had wonderful weather and I did the entire West Highland Way in shorts, two days in a tee shirt and three days with a light jumper only. It was the walking experience of a lifetime...

The icing on the cake was that our final B&B was on the road about two miles from the official end of the walk. We were able to check in, en route, and drop off our very heavy rucksacks.

Great support, prompt replies to questions and made our break memorable. No hesitation in recommending them to others.
Many thanks for your kind words, John. The West Highland Way is certainly a special walk, so we were delighted that you enjoyed your experience so much. Scott Smyth





Trouble free walking the wall!
6 day walk along Hadrian's Wall Path. Bed and Breakfast arranged for 7 nights along the path from Bowness-on-Solway to Wallsend in Newcastle. Luggage was transferred from Bed and Breakfast to Bed and Breakfast..

Unexpected Beauty
So much to see and experience. Every detail of our trip was planned out precisely. We followed all the recommendations provided by Sine with Absolute Excapes. Nothing failed to meed our expectations. A request to include a day guided trout trip was the perfect end to the trip of a life time.

Sine planned everything we requested. From the Bow Fest to trout fishing nothing failed to please. I would recommend Absolute Escapes to anyone visiting Scotland.
Thank you very much for your kind comments, Jim, and for the wonderful pictures you also sent us. It certainly looked like you had a memorable trip, trout fishing and exploring the Scottish Highlands, and we were delighted to help plan it. Thank you for recommending us and all the best in the future. Sine Nielsen





A Wonderful Walk
We walked along the Scottish coast from Edinburgh to Dunbar. Our route followed the last portion of the John Muir Way. The scenery was beautiful as we passed through charming farms and villages. We spent three days walking and took a layover day in North Berwick, a lovely place with much to see.

Absolute Escapes designed a custom trip which met or exceeded our expectations in every respect. They were prompt in communicating, completely attuned to our requests, and provided accurate and thorough materials for our self-guided trip.
Thank you very much for your feedback, Bruce. The coastal scenery between Edinburgh and Dunbar is beautiful and we were happy to hear that the walking holiday exceeded your expectations. It would be a pleasure to assist you again in the future. Sine Nielsen
