West Highland Way Traveller Reviews

My wife and I spent 9 days walking from Milngavie to Ft. William, Scotland. It was challenging but very rewarding. The scenery and little villages along the way were delightful and we met people from all around the world doing the same walk. We are already planning our next walking adventure.

This was our second walking tour with Mickledore and once again they set everything up perfectly. My wife and I are in our late 60's and love having our luggage transported from B & B to B & B so we can walk with just a day pack. We know we can count on Mickledore to set up all the accommodations and provide excellent maps and guide books.

Varied Highland hike with some easy going and some more challenging legs. Gradually building up to typical Scottish Highland scenery. Friendly Scots with good food and drinks along the way.

Mickledore fully took care of all necessary arrangements and properly and swiftly communicated throughout the whole process. Mickledore arranged high quality and cosy guest houses (B&B, Inn, Hotel) with hospitable owners.

Walking the WHW was a great experience. With beautiful scenery, friendly people from around the world, excellent accommodation and food along the route, who needs to go abroad for a memorable holiday?

Mickledore are first class. The only thing they can't fix is the weather and even that was better than it might have been.

Hiking the West Highland Way was the experience of a lifetime. It is challenging, but absolutely worth it. The scenery is spectacular and the towns along the way were truly enjoyable. We're looking forward to new and exciting trails throughout Scotland.

Mickledore did a great job organizing our hike. The instructions were clear and everything was as-advertised. When we had questions, the team at Mickledore responded very promptly. We appreciated the great service.

All of the arrangements made by Mickledore for our hike along the West Highland Way were excellent. The selected lodgings and accommodations were perfect and the luggage transfer service worked flawlessly. Also, all of the lodges and inns correctly recorded our request for a packed trail lunch each day. The entire trip was hassle-free and well-organized.

Mickledore was prompt, responsive and helpful every step of the way in arranging our trip. I truly felt as if they had our best interest at heart through each portion of the planning and booking process.

What a great experience. This is my first experience of a self-guided walking holiday with luggage transfer. What a revelation. No struggling over hills with a heavy backpack. Clean dry clothes every night.Bliss! I liked that Mickledore offered a variety of itineraries for the West Highland Way, from long days down to the more leisurely 9 days walking variant. The accommodation arranged was all comfortable and welcoming. The West Highland Way is a beautiful trail, with some challenging parts, but is achievable by most people with moderate fitness if you pick the correct itinerery.

Brilliant support. Simple booking process even though I booked quite late. Really comprehensive information pack including - a map - a guidebook - a list of restaurants and services near the trail - detailed information about how to find your accommodation each night.

I walked the West Highland Way using Mickledore to arrange accommodation and baggage transfer. Everything was very smooth, and all information accurate. They were always quick to respond to questions. The holiday could not have been better!

Quick to respond with questions, easy to work with, everything went well as planned. Price seemed very fair! I have recommended them to friends and will use them again.

Together with two friends I booked a hiking holiday to walk the West Highland Way in Scotland with Mickledore Travel. They provided us with all the information required to complete the walk safely. All our accommodation was pre booked, our luggage forwarded, and transfers organised where required. All we had to do was enjoy the hiking. Bed and Breakfast accommodation was of a high standard at 90% of locations, bearing in mind the remoteness of some locations where only one hotel was available, it was obvious where more choice was available, we got the best. This was the second holiday we had booked with Mickledore travel, and would not hesitate in using them again in the future.

Very friendly, efficient, helpful.

This is the second time i've used Mickledore Travel to arrange my walking holiday and everything went to plan. They booked my overnight accommodation, provided route maps, baggage transfer and even a packed lunch everyday if you required it. They also provide info on where you can get cash, toilets, food, doctors, taxis etc along the way. I had a very enjoyable holiday and walked with different people that i met along the way.

I've spoken to the staff at Mickledore over the phone and also called into their office in Keswick. They are all very friendly and knowledgeable because they've walked the routes themselves. Would highly recommend Mickledore Travel.

Booking through Mickledore they organised all the accommodation, baggage transfer, packed lunches, maps, guidebooks and schedules of services and where to eat. The genuine warmth, friendliness and good humour we experienced at every venue was first class and a testament to the research that Mickledore had done in selecting these venues. The venues were also clean, comfortable and flexible, which after a long days walk is very welcome indeed. The maps and guides, though largely superfluous due the quality of the signage on these two trails, were informative about local history, flora and fauna and the recommendations of where to eat were also first class and evidence of their research. I will use them again and would recommend them to anyone.
