Hiking the West Highland Way

The West Highland Way was one of the most beautiful places I have traveled to. Between the scenery, the people, the food, and the scotch, this trip was one for the books.

Mikeldore was amazing! The BnBs they booked for us were tidy and cozy. Our luggage arrived every night ahead of us at the next location, and the transfers were timely and friendly. I would highly recommend this company to my friends and family.

Good walking in the Highlands

We walked the West Highland Way in 8 days. We would have loved more walking in the highlands, and less in the lowlands.....

Stunning walking and excellently organised!

Walked the West Highland Way which is one of the most spectacular things we have ever done. Made even better by the good choice of accommodation by Mickledore and the efficient way they arrange for your luggage to be transported, resulting in a stress free holiday.

Mickledore were so helpful from initial enquiry to the walk itself. Lots of useful information and the app was good too. I have nothing but praise for them.

Amazing slick with great customer service.

We walked the Highland Way. A great walk with scenery that takes your breath away. We had no worries about tired feet at the end of the day as we knew that Mickledore had great accommodation with luggage delivered to the room awaiting!

Incredible West Highland Way honeymoon!

My husband and I were so excited to escape to the highlands for our honeymoon. I had heard wonderful things about the West Highland Way, and it certainly did not disappoint! My husband and I ended each day trying to decide if it was better than the last, and the truth was the scenery was always so epic it was impossible to choose which day's walking was the best!

I have used Mickledore twice before to book vacations and knew I could count on them to help us make the most of our trip. Everything was taken care of for us so we just had to show up and enjoy ourselves in the beautiful highland's of Scotland. Mickledore took the time to tell all our accommodations it was our honeymoon, so often when we arrived exhausted from walking we were treated like royals and pampered with champagne and chocolate! It made us feel so special! I recommend Mickledore to all of my American friends, and so far all have returned from their vacations loving the experience as much as I do!

Thank you for your kind comments. It is great that you had such a special and memorable time on your honeymoon and enjoyed your walk. Congratulations to you both.

We walked the West Highland Way with our luggage following. It was a great way to see the Highlands close up.

Great organisation and hitch-free

Great holiday. The West Highland Way is very scenic and at 96 miles is short enough to complete in a week.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore take your requirements and turn them into a hitch-free holiday. We just tell them the route we want to walk from their list of supported routes and tell them how many days we want to take doing it and they do the rest. Never had a problem with baggage transfers and the accommodation is usually first class. The information that they send out about the holiday is spot on, with enough detail to enable you to make informed choices. They always make point of requesting feedback on all aspects of their holidays, which they always specifically acknowledge, so if anything is not right they do learn the lessons. I highly recommend this company.

We did the northern half of the West Highland Way, from Crianlarich to Fort William. We had 4 nights accommodate and 3 days walking. We took advantage of the luggage transfer and packed lunches provided package. Every aspect of our holiday was excellent.

We did the northern half of the West Highland Way, from Crianlarich to Fort William. We had 4 nights accommodate and 3 days walking. We took advantage of the luggage transfer and packed lunches provided package. Every aspect of our holiday was excellent. Even before I booked up Mickledore were great at giving me advice on when would be a good time of year to do the walk. Having everything taken care of for us meant we could just enjoy the landscape. Each time we arrived at our next stop we got a warm welcome from our hosts, and they gave us recommendations for dinner if they couldn't provid it and in the morning we had delicious breakfasts and were provided with a tasty packed lunch. The map and info pack provided were very useful as well. Overall it was an amazing experience

Rating for tour operator:

They were great. My queries were all responded to very promptly. The team at Mickledore could not have been more helpful.
