Absolute Escapes Traveller Reviews

Visiting the Western Islands was a fantastic experience- it was so well organised by Absolute escapes and accommodation was well chosen

Absolute Escapes are such an easy company to deal with - they are professional and very helpful when deciding accommodation etc

My husband and I had a great time on honeymoon up in Scotland. We started off on the Isle of Arran, then made up way to Mull, followed by Skye, and finished off in Loch Lomand. A fantastic experience.

Charlotte was fabulous, listening to what we wanted from the holiday, and tailoring the number of days in each place to suit us. The information provided in advance was very helpful, and the accommodation booked for each place was excellent.

Walking from Melrose in Scotland to lindisfarne. All arrangements (accommodation, luggage transfer) were organised by absolute escapes. The route had excellent waymarking. All accommodation was of a high standard making my walk trouble free allowing me to enjoy the walking experience.

This was the 5th time I have used this operator. I have never been disappointed. Great attention to detail leaving me to enjoy my experiences.

Great walk on West Highland Way, with super weather and spectacular views. Great accommodation and met many interesting people.

Absolute Escapes we’re exceptionally helpful especially when we had to cancel twice due to COVID. The accommodation they organised was very good and the luggage pick up went very smoothly. Overall an exceptionally good tour operator.

This walking holiday organised by Absolute Escapes was a pleasure to be on. The accommodation chosen by them was excellent and just what was required after a hard day’s walking.. I would recommend them most highly for anyone considering this walk.

Absolute Escapes organised the accommodation and baggage transfer for my West Highland Way self guided walking holiday and they were a pleasure to work with from the point of booking. The standard of accommodation was ideal for a long distance walker and the recommendations Absolute Escapes made in the comprehensive itinerary they provided were first class. An unforgettable walking holiday.

fantastic holiday, the tranfers and accommodatiob were 1st class and the local information provuded was invaluable

great, any question was answered promptly and very helpful every step of booking it

I did the central 180kms of the Pembrokeshire Coastline. It was an unforgettable experience. I started in Pembroke and walked to Fishguard over 9 days. It was so sunny the entire time, which I was not expecting after hearing about the weather in Wales. I saw so many increible things, from Seals to Dolphines and some of the most beautiful beaches (this is coming from an Australian).

Abosolute Escapes were very helpful! I was unsure which walking holiday I wanted to do when I reached out. Katia talked me through a range of different options and was even supportive of keeping my budget low. Due to COVID, I was wanting to book it more last minute than usual and they were accommodating with this. Additionally, all the B&Bs booked along the way were so friendly and the food was all so delicious. It was good to know that if I needed anything that I could reach out to Absolute Escapes.

We decided to do the coast to coast walk over 17 walking days and 1 rest day. A good choice, as we did not get too exhausted, and did not have any blisters. We were lucky with the weather, although 30 degrees was a bit warm for the climbs in the Lake District! We did not suffer any mist, and only 1 hour of rain until the final day, when we got absolutely soaked. The views were tremendous, and the accommodation was very good. All our luggage turned up daily at the correct accommodation.

Everything from initial enquiry, through to booking, and after care was dealt with professionally and efficiently. Daisy responded to any emails or telephone calls promply.

An all round fantastic trip filled with landscapes that would rival any other in the world, brilliant food and heaps of culture. A remote white sand beach that where we spent the sunset with no one else around was the perfect back drop for an engagement & life long memory.

Fern at absolute escapes set up our trip with minimal effort - altering small bits here & there at our request without complaint . High standards, very friendly and super easy.

A lovely long distance walk on the ancient Ridgeway footpath, stretching through chalk uplands and glorious well-established woodland. Red Kites flew above us every day, sometimes so close you could see every detail of their plumage. We walked through clouds of butterflies, most usual of which was the Marbled White. We visited many ancient monuments along the way, including burial mounds, the Uffington white horse, and the sites of prehistoric settlements. It was great to arrive at a different staging post each day, ready for a pint of local ale and a freshly cooked meal, and to refresh ourselves for the next stage.

They were very helpful and thorough. We felt we were in safe hands. They kept in touch with us when needed, for example when one of our overnight stops had closed due to Covid, and a suitable alternative was arranged for us. The information sent out before the holiday was very useful, suggesting things to see and places to eat. It was clear that all the accommodation had been thoroughly vetted and was of a good or excellent standard. The bag delivery system never failed.
