Great Glen Way by Conwy Chris, 9 Jun 2017
Holiday Rating:

An efficiently organised and delightful walking holiday..

For our first ever walking holiday we decided upon The Great Glen Way. We chose early May as we thought that the weather would be fair and the wild flowers in bloom. We were not wrong. I never put my coat on for the whole 5 day walk! We beat the midges and were heralded every day by cuckoos and sun shine. The Great Glen Way is well sign posted, has great footpaths and views and provides a variety of interesting things to see along the route...

Fort William to Inverness walking trail

I booked with Mickledore who made all the arrangements for accommodation and luggage transport. They included a very comprehensive information pack for the walking holiday which was very helpful for things like booking evening meals and where to find the nearest chemist as well as good quality maps. We were mainly fortunate with the weather in Scotland, which always helps of course, but we were very impressed with the quality of the B and Bs ...

I booked with Mickledore who made all the arrangements for accommodation and luggage transport. They included a very comprehensive information pack for the walking holiday which was very helpful for things like booking evening meals and where to find the nearest chemist as well as good quality maps. We were mainly fortunate with the weather in Scotland, which always helps of course, but we were very impressed with the quality of the B and Bs and luggage service. All the restaurants recommended were good which was a relief to me as I was booking not just for us but for 8 German friends who had booked with a different company. It was a very good holiday. The only downside was blisters mainly caused by long stretches of hard flat canal paths and it might be that trainers are better for those sections of the walk rather than walking boots.

Rating for tour operator:

See above. Very efficient and comprehensive service. Very professional and helpful at the end of the phone. Can't imagine a better service. An American solo traveller who had also booked with Mickledore for the same holiday said they were endlessly patient with her as she had perhaps more queries than a British person would have.

Thank you for your lovely feedback, its great to hear that the information in the holiday pack was so useful for you and your companions and helped with your arrangements. Its also great to hear that you received excellent service by telephone when you needed to contact us. We always try to answer calls quickly and give as much help as we can.
I hope that you will be back to do another walk soon.
