Absolute Escapes Traveller Reviews

We had a perfectly worked out holiday. We couldn't go wrong, we just had to follow instructions from day to day. The weather was great and there were no hiccups whatsoever with any of the bookings. We had a great holiday!

Everything was arranged to perfection. We gave them a short time to arrange everything, but they pulled through and delivered. I'd recommend absolute escapes to anyone.

This is our forth walking holiday with Absolute Escapes - and it wont be the last!

We were very pleased with the B&B's AE chose for us. The map was very helpful with all its information about different sites along the way. We stopped at a few we hadn't planned on and really enjoyed it AE is great to work with. Its so helpful to have someone to answer questions ahead of time and be able to call if necessary when there

Absolute Escapes set up our car rental, B&B's and provided a map and our day by day travel an suggestions for things to see and do at the locations we had chosen. They are fabulous to work with and we are very pleased with all they did

A beautiful route through some of England's most stunning upland countryside. Blessed by excellent weather and an interesting mix of accommodation, mostly excellent, some a bit quirky, just one which needs serious improvement.

Everything organized correctly. No problems to test their efficiency when things go wrong. Appear to operate on a personal level.

Castles and flowers and dogs, oh my! We walked the John Muir way from Falkirk to Cockburnspath. Along the way, We met many friendly people and dogs and learned about Scottish history in the most delightful way. Everyday we saw beautiful vistas, colorful flowers and historic places. We feel like we saw the real Scotland not the tourist version and we loved it! If you like long, easy walks in a beautifully surroundings, you will enjoy this trail. We also liked knowing that we were never far from a town or a bus if we had needed help or transportation. This walk was an amazing experience and a good choice for my first walking holiday.

We are so happy with absolute escapes. They handled all the heavy lifting in planning our trip. We saved a lot of time and surely had a better experience than if we had planned it ourselves. They have the lay of the land and that knowledge is priceless.e Absolute escapes is very knowledgable, professional and accommodating. Our trip was perfectly and throughly planned. AE arranged for our baggage to be handled by the john muir way baggage service which literally took a load off!

A walking tour along the John Muir Way, mostly flat with a few gentle hills. My first-ever walking tour -- this was a perfect way to start! We walked 90 miles in a week, getting to know the locals (and their dogs!) as we passed through the various towns, and learned a lot of local history as we walked. We walked near water a lot of the time, first the Scottish canals and later the Firth of Forth, with beautiful views almost the whole way. We saw so much more than we would have had we been in a car or on a bus. Everyone was lovely -- and helpful when we needed it. Our accomodations along the way were a mix of hotels and B&Bs, which were all fine, with a few being absolutely outstanding! It's a perfect walk for someone new to walking holidays.

Everything we hoped for and more! Absolute Excapes was very easy to work with. Everyone was knowlegeable, professional, and flexible enough to work with our changing schedule. Our baggage transfer was handled expertly, as well. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a walking tour in Scotland!

Absolute Escapes did an outstanding job of coordinating three distinct tours for us. While I was walking the Great Glen Way, my wife was touring out of London visiting Cotswold, Bath and Wales among others. Upon completing my walk, my wife and I reunited in Edinburgh for the third leg of our holiday...a driving touring of Scotland. Our only regret was that we wished we had had more time in each of the locations on our driving tour. Every component of our holiday was expertly handled. Accommodations were exactly as we had requested and the detailed itinerary was spot on in terms of suggested activities and points of interest.

AE was very thorough from our initial contact. All questions were responded to in a very timely manner. Our accommodations were exactly as we had anticipated and the itinerary was very comprehensive. The suggested activities and points of interest were exactly what we had hope for. We would unquestionably use AE again and would recommend them without reservation.

We walked the 150 km of the West Higland Way in 7 days and enjoyed every minute of it! The wonderful views as well as the very hospitable B&B's and Hotels made our walking holiday very inspiring!

Our tour operator did organise this trip on an excellent way! Their personalized itinerary was very good and by telephone they were very kind with a good service!

The trip was very well organised and provided me with lots of options to walk and drive to maximise my experience. the ferry crossings really added to the overall holiday providing wonderful arriving and departing events to each island. The bed and breakfast venues were exceptional both in friendliness, location, amenity and not to be left out ...food. The tour gave me a taste for the islands and left me wanting to come back and spend more time in the future.

Absolute Escapes were well organised and responsive to emails. Things happened as stated.

Three senior citizens walked the Dales Way at a sensible pace over 8 days. We were blessed with good weather; only 90 minutes of rain. We enjoyed wonderful scenery, friendly hosts plus good food & beer. Good walking boots, layers of clothing and emergency provisions are a must. We always find that walking poles are a wise addition. A bonus for us was the book town of Sedbergh were we spent a happy afternoon browsing & buying.

We booked again with Absolute Escapes as last year they organised our brilliant West Highland Way walk. Again they facilitated an excellent holiday. They transported our luggage, booked all our accommodation and provided our route maps and guidance. Highly recommended.
