Absolute Escapes Traveller Reviews

The WHW is altogether a great and beautiful walk, as long as the weather conditions are not too bad. But this is true for every treck. Also accomondation is great with the exception of Kinghouse and here the very old bathrooms. But for one night that's ok. The only thing which I felt was a bit annoying was the street which sometimes accompanied the WHW. I asked for nature and silenec but sometimes you hear loud traffic noises :-(

Absolut Escapes did a great job.Always engaged, fast, communicative and caring. No need to check another operator if you book with those girls and guys.

Walking the West Highland Way was fantastic. Having booked through Absolute Escapes was amazing. The B & B's we stayed in were delightful, and the old hotels were enchanting. Having our luggage transported for us every day eased the burden of carrying too big a load ourselves. We met some great people along the way. Walking in Spring was delightful. The baby lambs with their little black faces and legs were so gorgeous I wanted to take one home with me. The bluebells were everywhere. The rain brought the scenery to life with gushing waterfalls and brilliant colours all around us.

The tour operator took all the burden of trying to find places to stay when we were not sure where we would end up each day. They paced the walk really well and every day was manageable. Having our bags carried every day was excellent as we knew we had the comfort of plenty of clothes and toiletries waiting for us at every stop.

We had a fantastic holiday walking the West Highland. Totally stress free, luggage was at our accommodation on arrival each day, and could not complain about accommodation all good, great hosts and good breakfasts/pack lunches provided. The walk itself was amazing with some really breath taking scenery and we met so many lovely people along the way.

Fantastic, they arranged all our accommodation along the way and the itinerary and directions etc., were spot on. They even gave you recommendations/ suggestions for eating out in the evening. Luggage arranged to be picked up and dropped of at accommodation. Completely stress free. Will definitely use Absolute Escapes again to arrange any future walking holidays.

We had excellent arrangements despite much evidence of good accommodation being in short supply. Weather was not ideal but was mostly dry and we saw good wildlife particularly birds. We intended more walking but the walking we had was good, certainly on Skye

Absolute Escapes organised all aspects of our holiday really well. The accommodation was good despite there being a serious shortage of rooms available. The hosts were knowledgeable and helpful. Skye was particularly busy but our hostess booked us in an excellent restaurant each night though many people were being turned away. I would therefore consider that Absolute Escapes selection of hosts was excellent

Excellent holiday in the Hebrides with well organized ferry bookings and hotels. Very surprising lack of local produce in restaurants - in particular fish. Made up for by stunning scenery and walks.

Agents descriptions broadly accurate although description of hotels tended to be very generous. I would suggest it is better to under promise and over deliver rather than the other way round.

Before booking we had a broad idea of places we wanted to visit our tour operator expanded this and by so doing improved our enjoyment of the holiday.A particular highlight was the drive over the Pass of the Cattle. All in all a great holiday and a great driving experience which was the purpose.

From the very beginning Absolute Escapes were excellent whether with online information or by telephone.Our holiday lived upto their title.

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our trek along the Great Glen Way. The level of difficulty was just about right, and the mileage each day was manageable, with the possible exception of the final leg from Drumnodrochit to Inverness (18 miles). The weather cooperated for the most part. it was a great introduction to the Highlands.

Absolute Escapes did a fantastic job in all of our logistics and travel arrangements. We have some recommendations to offer about the baggage transfer service, which I think set an unreasonably low weight limit especially for travelers coming from the United States who might be spending considerably more time in Scotland beyond just the walk, itself. We will provide this feedback directly to Absolute Escapes.

Great standard of accomodation, all hotels were conveniently situated to the route, and baggage was transferred without any hitches.

Absolute Escapes arranged everything promptly without any problems

Excellent accommodation apart from Kings Head but the bed was very clean. The food was excellent also. I understand it is being upgraded next year though. Loved out B and B accommodation in Tynedrum and esp at Kinlochleven.

Very good apart from taxi number was incorrect at Tynedrum.

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!!
