Absolute Escapes Traveller Reviews

Excellent holiday in the Hebrides with well organized ferry bookings and hotels. Very surprising lack of local produce in restaurants - in particular fish. Made up for by stunning scenery and walks.

Agents descriptions broadly accurate although description of hotels tended to be very generous. I would suggest it is better to under promise and over deliver rather than the other way round.

Before booking we had a broad idea of places we wanted to visit our tour operator expanded this and by so doing improved our enjoyment of the holiday.A particular highlight was the drive over the Pass of the Cattle. All in all a great holiday and a great driving experience which was the purpose.

From the very beginning Absolute Escapes were excellent whether with online information or by telephone.Our holiday lived upto their title.

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our trek along the Great Glen Way. The level of difficulty was just about right, and the mileage each day was manageable, with the possible exception of the final leg from Drumnodrochit to Inverness (18 miles). The weather cooperated for the most part. it was a great introduction to the Highlands.

Absolute Escapes did a fantastic job in all of our logistics and travel arrangements. We have some recommendations to offer about the baggage transfer service, which I think set an unreasonably low weight limit especially for travelers coming from the United States who might be spending considerably more time in Scotland beyond just the walk, itself. We will provide this feedback directly to Absolute Escapes.

Great standard of accomodation, all hotels were conveniently situated to the route, and baggage was transferred without any hitches.

Absolute Escapes arranged everything promptly without any problems

Excellent accommodation apart from Kings Head but the bed was very clean. The food was excellent also. I understand it is being upgraded next year though. Loved out B and B accommodation in Tynedrum and esp at Kinlochleven.

Very good apart from taxi number was incorrect at Tynedrum.

We went on a self guided walking trip on the Great Glen Way it was flawless!! We would do it again in a heartbeat!

Our tour operators were fantastic thanks!!

We had 14 days Island hoping in The Outer Hebrides, the B&Bs, Ferries and itinerary were all booked by Absolute Escapes. Their office staff were excellent, able to help personalise my holiday to my needs.

Absolute Escapes gave me all the help I needed in putting together the package that suited my needs. the office staff were very helpful and friendly during the time we were arranging our holiday, many thanks.

Our holiday was very good we meet a lot of lovely people from across the world. The weather was reasonable all week and although some days walking seemed to go on and on we we're always glad to get to our b&b each evening and it was fantastic to see our bags as promised by the tour operator. All but one b&b we had some fantastic accommodation. The only thing we would of liked was a bath each night instead of showers it averaged about 50/50. We went through some fantastic scenery and was glad to see a pub for lunch and a rest each day. This is a walk that we we're glad we practiced long walks beforehand, but so glad we managed the 96 miles.

Absolute Escape we're fantastic, well organised as promised in their first contacts. A HUGH THANK YOU Well done. They were very helpful if we had any questions.

we need a short break and found it in scotland, we had a great time and every bb was good and all in all, it was everything we needed.

we had a tailor made holiday for us over five days, james at great escapes helped us with everything we need to get done in a short time and we had a good time.

Wonderful weather made Arran even more beautiful. Lively towns, remote coastline, stunning views from Goat Fell. I saw the big 5 (Golden Eagle, Red Deer, Red Squirrel, Grey Seal, Otter) and even Dolphins and Common Seals and many, many birds. The path is well maintained, the different kinds of overnight stays were friendly.

Absolute Escapes do a great job. The website is well presented. Soon after I send my request, I can't wait for the proposal which comes very quickly. And from then on it's just smooth cruising. I'll be back soon.
