Holiday Reviews
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same trip can have different views!

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Everything about this trip was great, but memories of the magnificent mountain scenery I'm sure will stay with me forever.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
As they say in the ad, Just Do it. But if you're going in July/August don't forget your midge repellent.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
I'm sure tourism is important to the local economy & it was great to see how many of us traveled up by public transport, thus minimizing the impact on the environment.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
A beautiful spot, great company, fantastic food & wonderful walking.

Excellent, great food, great walking, shame about the weather.

The scenery would rival any I personally have seen in my travels, but we were lucky with the weather. I'd certainly recommend the holiday.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Be prepared for walks over 10 miles a day and ascents over 3000 feet, but there are alternatives on offer for easier days.

It definitely contributed to the local economy.
