The best walking holiday!
We walked the West Highland Way supported by Mickledore Travel. Every interaction with the Mickledore team was positive and helpful. Every detail of the trip was planned with care and thought - even as we had to adjust due to some medical issues that caused a rescheduling. The Mickledore team was responsive and help make the adjustments seemlessly. One on the walk, the materials they gave us enabled us to have a fun, informed, and delightful time...

Rating for tour operator:See above - we found Mickledore to have exceptional staff, good relations with inn keepers (they all loved Mickledore), and provided excellent support for us on our self guided walk.
Thanks for your great feedback. It is lovely to hear how much you enjoyed your walk and the kind comments about the work of our team are much appreciated.

Brilliant holiday with all details sorted
Walked the first half of the Westhighland Way with my son. It was great to have all details if the trip sorted so I could focus on our vacation. Information provided was clear and of quality. My son wants to do the whole trail now!

Wonderful West Highland Way
Having to cancel a holiday abroad at the last minute due to personal reasons, we opted to attempt the West Highland Way, albeit somewhat late in the year. Overall the experience was superb, despite the weathers best attempts to subdue our enjoyment. There was nothing that could have been organised better or in a more suitable way. We would not hesitate to complete similar types of adventure.

Rating for tour operator:From the outset, the "Mickledore" team did everything to accommodate our requirements and preferences, nothing was too much trouble and every question was dealt with in a professional and timely manner. We will most definitely recommend and use in the future.
It is great that you enjoyed your walk despite the weather. Thank you for leaving us such great feedback about the arrangements our team made for you. We hope to welcome you back for more adventures soon.

Magical Walking on the West Highland Way
Walked from Milngavie to Fort William along the West Highland Way, scenery was amazing, and whilst it is a long way, the support and advice we received from Mickledore meant we didn't need to worry about a thing. All accommodation was great, with a welcome cup of tea and cake provided at some hotels. We are now looking at where our next walk may take use.

Outstanding as always!
This is the sixth walking holiday we have booked through Mickledore. This time we walked the West Highland Way, which was as beautiful as we had been told! The accommodation was excellent and very varied, always on the route and our hosts were very good. One of us has a gluten intolerance and that was catered for very well. The route is very clearly way marked but the information provided by Mickledore means that you can enjoy learning about ...
This is the sixth walking holiday we have booked through Mickledore. This time we walked the West Highland Way, which was as beautiful as we had been told! The accommodation was excellent and very varied, always on the route and our hosts were very good. One of us has a gluten intolerance and that was catered for very well. The route is very clearly way marked but the information provided by Mickledore means that you can enjoy learning about the area you are walking in and about the facilities available at each location. We met lots of people who were walking, some on their own, couples and bigger groups. Public transport to the start and finish is good so avoiding the need for the car.
Rating for tour operator:Mickledore is a first class company. They have really mastered the art of organising a walking holiday and never fail to amaze us how they manage to find such great accommodation and hosts. Their website is a perfect place to start and allows you to decide which walk is best and over how many days. Their customer service and speed of replying to any queries is excellent - nothing is too much trouble. Their information pack gives you all the information required about where you are staying, how to get there and gives you lots of valuable information about the places you will be visiting. They can organise a baggage transfer service which moves your overnight luggage to the next destination which is really helpful. When staying in remote locations too, hosts can provide pack lunches which is great. We are already planning our next walk through Mickledore!
It is great to hear that you enjoyed your walk. The route is stunning and it's lovely that you met so many people along the way. We look forward to welcoming you back for your next adventure.
