Comments about Highland Perthshire Trail Walking Holiday :

All in all good,
I recommend the following description improvements:
1. Aberfeldy to Kenmore: recommend the higher road. It is nicer, we took it and are were pleased.
2.Fortingall to Kinloch Rannoch:
departure did change: indicate from hotel to turn right and continue on the main road till the last right gravel road before crossing the bridge -looks like a private road getting into a compound-take that one.
Inform clearly that it will take 5 hours and 30 minutes

Mac’s Adventure Response: Hi there,
Thanks so much for your review and your recommendations for changes in the route notes. I will change these and hopefully this will solve the issues. Thanks again!

Comments about Highland Perthshire Trail Walking Holiday :

The walks all enjoyable with minimum tarmac apart from 2k on the last day and no taxi transfers. Walk from hotel to hotel – ideal!

The accommodation was, apart from one, great – all local places, no hotel chains.

We enjoyed the holiday, even though it rained every day and the winds were to strong to go up Ben Vrackie etc.

Comments about Highland Perthshire Trail Walking Holiday :

The 5 of us (Mothers and Daughters) had an amazing time. If you are looking for a great way see Scotland this is the way to do it! Macs did a great job in making sure everything was set up before we arrived, and our baggage was always waiting for us after a long day of walking. All the hotels (except maybe one) were wonderful and accommodating. The views along the way are spectacular, and the small towns are picturesque. We would all use Macs again in a heartbeat. FYI- There were a couple of times along the way that good map reading skills came in handy.

Comments about Highland Perthshire Trail Walking Holiday :

Some of the guidances indications are wrong, or at least it seems that the trail has been tested the other way around.The marks indicated have been found at the end of the section. In Aberfeldy even the road N°indicated is not accurate.Otherwise great trip, well choosen accomodation and the luggage followed always on time. [...]

Mac’s Adventure Response: Thanks very much for your feedback and I am sorry to hear that some of the directions were misleading. We will look at this immediately and rectify the relevant paragraphs.
I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the trail and accommodation. Best wishes. Neil
