Hadrian's Wall by Kent, 9 May 2024
Holiday Rating:

Four day walk along Hadrian’s Wall

Excellent in every respect.

Rating for tour operator:

Professional, responsive and a very well-organised self-guided tour. This was particularly important as I was traveling from abroad and traveling alone. Realistically, I could never have made the arrangements as seamless as Mickledore did.

Stress Free Walking Holiday

This is the 4th walking holiday we have taken with Mickledore and they have all been fabulous. This holiday - St Cuthbert's Way from Melrose in the Scottish Borders to Holy Island in Northumberland - was beautiful from start to finish. All our accommodation was excellent and included breakfast and a packed lunch. Our luggage was transported for us so that all we had to do was book an evening meal in each place and walk, and enjoy our holiday...

The backup information provided by Mickledore is also first class so booking meals ahead was easy and stress-free. We will definitely be booking with Mickledore again.

Rating for tour operator:

MIckeldore staff were friendly and efficient. We had some dietary requirements and all our accommodation hosts were aware of these and provided accordingly. They booked accommodation where needed, and if this wasn't available they arranged transport.

A PERFECT WALKING HOLIDAY

Mickledore organised our holiday. We would not go with any other walking agent. They are simply the best. We have used them countless times. Their team are friendly and knowledgeable. They have a wide range of holidays and the arrangements made for travel, accommodation and routes are always excellent.

West Highland/Great Glen Walking holiday

We have used Mickledore fora number of years to manage logistics in booking accommodation and dealing with all aspect of our walking holiday in Scotland . We were keen to see the unspoilt Scottish country side and were not disappointed with some epic views on walking the two famous Scottish national trails.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore provide comprehensive information on the trip from details concerning the location and arrival details for each hotel/B&B , with useful information on amenities on route, from restaurants to places to grab a coffee on route. As a remote walk details on how to fuel on route is super important.

Rating for tour operator:

Great experience and well worth the money. Mickledore is a great company to go with. They do all the leg work, accommodation, mapping, miles to walk each day, details of where to eat in the evening. Good communication from the moment of booking to the end of the holiday.

Wonderful Adventure Walking St Cuthbert's Way

This is the second holiday we have booked through Mickledore. The planning and preparation was spot on. The walk went smoothly. We met some amazing people en-route. The walking was great. The accommodation was overall really good. Luggage pick-up went smoothly. Overall a very stress free experience. The climax was walking the Pilgrim's Route from the mainland to Lindisfarne in bare feet!

All communications are professional and timely. If you have to phone you are greeted by people living in this country. Very happy with the service we have received.

West Highland Way by Shenanigan, 28 Oct 2023

Excellent organisation allowed us to think only of walking and soaking up the scenery.

We walked the west Highland Way in September 2023. The organisation and quality of accommodation was top class. We had a wonderful time. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Mickledore arranged the accommodation and transportation of our luggage. All the information provided was detailed and invaluable. Maps and guide books were easy to follow. I believe they thought of everything.

No fuss Adventure

We live in the US and love hiking in the UK. Mickeldore provide us with enough options to keep the two of us (one longtime hiker and one new to the game) challenged, deliriously happy and not arguing. What more could one want from a vacation?

Rating for tour operator:

We didn't't have a "tour operator" per se. It was just the two of us hiking from lodging to lodging, (booked by Mickeldore) using their maps and other support materials.
