West Highland Way by Jane from Boston, 30 Aug 2018

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!

West Highland Way- organised by Mickledore

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.

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.

It is great that you enjoyed your walk and found the information in your holiday pack to be helpful. We do take feedback seriously and respond to all information received. Thank you for taking the time to leave us your comments.

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.

Wonderful West Highland Way Adventure

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.

Thanks for your lovely comments. It is great to hear that you enjoyed your walk and that our arrangements for luggage transport and accommodation left you free to enjoy the trail. We would be pleased to arrange your next walking trip in the UK. Sue

Well arranged West Highland Way

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.

Rainbows on the West Highland Way

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.

You are absolutely right that you do not need to leave the UK to have a fabulous holiday, the West Highland Way is a spectacular route! We do our best with the weather but sometimes it just won't comply! We hope to welcome you back very soon.

West Highland Way

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.
