Absolute Escapes Traveller Reviews

We went on a self guided walking trip on the Great Glen Way it was flawless!! We would do it again in a heartbeat!

Our tour operators were fantastic thanks!!

We had 14 days Island hoping in The Outer Hebrides, the B&Bs, Ferries and itinerary were all booked by Absolute Escapes. Their office staff were excellent, able to help personalise my holiday to my needs.

Absolute Escapes gave me all the help I needed in putting together the package that suited my needs. the office staff were very helpful and friendly during the time we were arranging our holiday, many thanks.

Our holiday was very good we meet a lot of lovely people from across the world. The weather was reasonable all week and although some days walking seemed to go on and on we we're always glad to get to our b&b each evening and it was fantastic to see our bags as promised by the tour operator. All but one b&b we had some fantastic accommodation. The only thing we would of liked was a bath each night instead of showers it averaged about 50/50. We went through some fantastic scenery and was glad to see a pub for lunch and a rest each day. This is a walk that we we're glad we practiced long walks beforehand, but so glad we managed the 96 miles.

Absolute Escape we're fantastic, well organised as promised in their first contacts. A HUGH THANK YOU Well done. They were very helpful if we had any questions.

we need a short break and found it in scotland, we had a great time and every bb was good and all in all, it was everything we needed.

we had a tailor made holiday for us over five days, james at great escapes helped us with everything we need to get done in a short time and we had a good time.

Wonderful weather made Arran even more beautiful. Lively towns, remote coastline, stunning views from Goat Fell. I saw the big 5 (Golden Eagle, Red Deer, Red Squirrel, Grey Seal, Otter) and even Dolphins and Common Seals and many, many birds. The path is well maintained, the different kinds of overnight stays were friendly.

Absolute Escapes do a great job. The website is well presented. Soon after I send my request, I can't wait for the proposal which comes very quickly. And from then on it's just smooth cruising. I'll be back soon.

My wife and I, through Absolute Escapes, organised a self drive tour of Scotland. Taking in the highlands, isle of Skye, Glencoe and Edinburgh areas. We stayed in B&Bs and Guest Houses throughout our stay and enjoyed every last second! The hospitality we experienced in Scotland was unbelievable, all of our hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating. We cant wait to go back!

Absolute Escapes was fantastic. They helped us tailor our experience - providing great Distillery visit suggestions for me, while organising great sightseeing opportunities on the Isle of Skye for my wife - it was the perfect mix for a honeymoon ;) It was a self drive tour that had the car and all accommodation sorted before we landed in Edinburgh from Australia. We had no trouble at any stage of the trip, which was a great stress relief, especially when you know you are flying from Australia and have to travel a couple hours in the car after you land!

We let Absolute Escapes do their work for us for the 7th time in a row. That said pretty much about the quality of our every year experience with them.

We had a wonderful time walking St Cuthbert's Way. The weather was kind except for one very windy day to remind us of the power of the elements. All the arrangements with accommodation and baggage transfer were excellent, and that included spending a night with some friends near Jedburgh. Every day's experience was different; the 62 miles of the walk encompassed such a rich variety of terrain and scenery. And the wild flowers were magnificent. The final stretch of walking to Lindisfarne barefoot on the Pilgrims' Way was an unforgettable and deeply moving experience.

They arranged everything beautifully and efficiently.

A group of 8 people walked the Hadrian's Wall Path with the B&Bs and luggage shuttle organized by Absolute Escapes. We were supplied with good maps and information for our journey.

Absolute Escapes did a marvelous job organizing the tour for a rather large group of 8. we did not see any walkers in this large a group during the entire trek. Absolute also arranged extra nights where requested which really rounded out the trip nicely.

Absolute Escapes provided all information needed for the walk, arranged for accommodation and luggage transfer. The accomodation was all wonderful, the luggage transportation went off without a hitch. Coming back after a long day of walking to friendly and comfortable (and clean!) accommodation was a real treat.

I didn't have a tour operator per se, this was a self-guided walk. Absolute Escapes provided maps, a guide book, and arranged for accommodation and luggage transfer along the route. The descriptions were very helpful to find the places, and they were very responsive with any questions I had. It was very well organized and it was great to enjoy such a beautiful walk without any issues or problems. (Other than a bit of weather, but that's par for the course!) I would recommend these guys to anyone planning a trip like this. I was very pleased.
