Well organised walking holiday

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore were well organised from the moment I made the booking, advising on the best walking dates and booking accommodation accordingly. They took note of dietary requirements and stayed in touch by email. A few weeks before the holiday they provided a detailed information pack on the walk - maps, what to see and where to eat - and the accommodation. Accommodation was largely very good value. Great holiday.

Rating for tour operator:

I like the challenge of walking and discovering beautiful new places, but not so much the challenge of organizing it all -> Mickledore takes care of that in a clear, pleasant and high-quality approach.

Fantastic Walking Holiday...with more to come !

Part 1 of the Coast to Coast path, from the west coast to the east coast of England. Whereas Part 2 will follow next year, Part 1 is worth walking in its own right, and I am very pleased I have selected the same tour operator for Part 2. great walking, good accommodation, plentiful recommendations for evening meals and contact numbers for emergency support if so required.

Rating for tour operator:

Very courteous over the telephone when making stage payments towards paying off the holiday. Excellent details of holiday sent to me shortly after the holiday was paid off, enabling me to prepare for the holiday and add to its enjoyment. Part 2 of the walk is already booked with the same operator and I will certainly recommend and book further holidays with this operator in the coming years.

A well organised and very enjoyable holiday

A great coast to coast walk well organised. Good accommodation, breakfasts either good or excellent, overall food and drink were an unexpected highlight of the trip.

Mickledore were well organised and responsive. I have only put good because I have not experienced other operators, they may well have been excellent.

Coast to Coast July - August 2018

My father in law, a walking veteran of some 60 years, said this was the most beautiful walk of his lifetime. He was not lying.

My second walk arranged by Mickledore and I couldn't be happier. Co-walkers experienced botched bookings and problems with hotels. I didn't have a single issue. The B&Bs were always acceptable-good standard, some were spectacular. I could concentrate on my walking and had no worries in the world.

Coast to Coast in the sun

As with many people this summer, the Coast to Coast in 16 days was a wonderful trip. Our accommodation was great, the walking and scenery was first class, enhanced by the fact we had no rain and the people we met provided great company, several of whom we have kept in touch with.

Rating for tour operator:

We have used Mickledore several times before and never been disappointed. I enquired about the C2C quite late and Mickledore went the extra mile (a walking pun there) to arrange things and arrange alternative accommodation and transfers where the usual places weren't available.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore Travel were recommended to me so I had few expectations. I also knew next to nothing about the coast2coast route or a walking holiday. The folk at MT have been excellent, helping me choose and get setup for a walking event that incorporates 13 different overnight stays and transport. Everything went off like clockwork. MT also provided excellent documents, a handy book with all the details for my travels, maps and a C2C book. They also.have a great app for the phone which I used everyday. Lastly, any question I asked via the phone or email were very promptly answered. Can't fault MT in any way, would definitely use them again and recommend them to my friends.

Very good, we loved the places we stayed and the walk was very nice. We will go back to England for an other walk.

Everything was goed arranged. If we go back it is with Mickeldore again, it was fine we could book the holiday in our language wat makes its easier to understand.

Our wonderful Coast to Coast walk

We walked Wainwright's coast to coast 192 miles in June. The weather was exceedingly kind to us with sunshine and dry days throughout. The scenery was stunning and exceeded our expectations. We particularly loved Swaledale. I must have taken over 1000 photos along the way.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore delivered a superbly organised walking holiday. Everything ran to perfection, from the Sherpa van transport of our bags, and our drop off in St Bees to start the walk and pick up in Robin hood's Bay.Parking our car in the Sherpa van compound worked really well for us too. All the B&Bs were of a very high standard and many had baths! Mickledore listened to what we wanted in terms of mileage each day and devised an excellent itinerary. This was our second experience of the company and we will definitely book with them again.
