Absolute Escapes Traveller Reviews

Absolute Escapes organized a self-guided walking tour of the West Highland Way for myself and my dog Beezus. The accommodations were wonderful and very convenient to the trail. They arranged taxi service when lodging was not available directly on the route. And the baggage service did a great job. The scenery was beyond my expectations. I will never forget the adventure I had on my holiday in the Scottish Highlands.

Absolute Escapes was wonderful to work with. I called them to tell them what I was looking for and within 1 day they had created the perfect itinerary! They were super responsive to all my pre-trip questions. During the trip, there was a payment glitch at my 1st hotel. I called the out of hours phone number and Absolute Escapes resolved the issue within 15 minutes.

We had a wonderful vacation In Scotland and particular the area of Perthshire and the Cateran Trail. We spent ten days in Scotland and had only one day with rain. That's amazing. All the accommodations was fine, especially the B&B's and we had good food and the hosts were great. The walk on the Cateran Trail went well and we had only some rain on the first day. There were rain some nights to, but that's no bother. All the arrangements from Absolute Escape was perfect and we hope to be able to take another vacation arranged by them again.

All the arrangements they made was fine. The only complain we have is that the first request we made on there website not was responded, so we had to phone them to get contact.

We walked for 5 days on the northern section of the Pembrokeshire coast walk. Our bags were transported and bookings and guides arranged by Absolute Escapes.

Responded quickly to emails and delivered what they promised.

Attention to detail first class, lovely places to stay info spot on

Everything went as we expected, it was well organised and the distances we walked were manageable. We would recommend it to our friends as an excellent holiday and way to see and experience the area.

Our tour operator was easy to deal with and interested in providing us a walking tour we were comfortable with undertaking.

Great job finding accomodating suitable for disabled person. Great suggestions, very helpful.

We booked our two week self drive tour in Scotland through Absolute Escapes because we wanted their expertise in the best route to travel and great places to stay. We knew the general outline of where we wanted to go, and Absolute Escapes did a wonderful job of honoring our requested general outline while also adding some amazing must-see places. James, Andy and Scott all worked with us and they were very thorough and attentive. Every last detail was planned for us in terms of accommodations, the car rental, a ferry booking, etc. It would have taken us months of research to come up with the same travel plan. Everything was went very smoothly. All we had to do was show up! Our accommodations were all wonderful, and the added suggestions by James of places to go and stay were some of the best highlights of our trip! We could not be more happy with our trip!

We did not go on a tour with a group, but rather a self-drive trip across Scotland for two weeks. However, the planning by James, Andy and Scott was excellent, and they did a wonderful job of putting together our route, accommodations and destinations along the way. We had the luxury of pre-booked accommodations selected by Absolute Escapes, a travel plan with maps, suggested routes, etc. yet we also had the independence to go where we wanted and when we wanted spontaneously. It was perfect!

After a three-day visit of Edinburgh, we took a car tour of Scotland with stops at Fort William, Portree, Inverness and Callander. We stayed in B&B's. We saw a lot a beautiful landscapes (especially in the Glencoe dale and on the Isle of Skye), a lot of beautiful places (Eilean Dunan castle, Blair Castle, Edinburgh) and met lots of nice and proud Scots. They are proud of their country and they show it although that nationalism might sometimes irritate some people. To sum it up: a successful holiday in a completely different country and full of nice memories and loads of lovely pics.

He adapted the tour to our wishes and was always quick to answer our mails.

We had a lovely time walking the West Highland Way with our dog, even the weather was mostly kind. Well organised with very good quality accomdation booked for us, all trasnfers were very smooth and all in all a very stress free week.

Good communication, very tailored itinary for us and lots of helpful information provided.

We had a wonderful time on our walking trip of the Speyside Way, unforgettable in so many ways. The springtime countryside was at a peak with intensely green hills broken up by bright yellow fields, beautiful pastures, the dark and fast Spey river, spring flowers and the wonderfully warm people of Scotland.

Quick to respond and very helpful documents for our trip.
