Quick replies to e-mails. Helpful ideas and suggestions. Knowledgeable
Mr Bernard Taffs 24/09/2020

Excellent accommodation Lovely countryside, disappointing weather for early sept but can't control that. The service that Mac's staff provided was exemplary. I ordered an electric bike halfway through. The first day was very hilly and I was very challenged. This Cotswold ride in not in any way an easy ride. Good route and two marvellous bases especially The Olive Branch - great.
Mrs Karen Lawrence 24/09/2020

Well organised and refreshing walking holiday. Friendly accommodation. We really liked the new walks app.
Mr Roger Fretwell 24/09/2020

All our accommodation was booked as expected and was of a good quality. The app would have been even more useful if it had had details of each nights accomodation.

Macs were fantastic, able to book a last-minute holiday and quick to respond. They were flexible with our additional requests and were completely professional. The holiday itself was wonderful. They though of everything and we were worry-free the whole holiday. Would wholeheartedly recommend (and I'm likely to use them again in the future!)

Booking was responsive and flexible. Accommodation was varied and generally of very good quality (the main exception being the Rowardennan Hotel which was below the standard of the rest - we realise there is no other option!). Background information was comprehensive and helpful. One mix-up over the pickup point at Kingshouse, where the itinerary was wrong, apparently. Sorted out in the end, but initial response to query from Glencoe Centre was somewhat unhelpful. For people of our generation, it was inconvenient to have everything electronic. Much prefer the little booklets provided by other companies in the past. Could have provided better weather on occasions!

With COVID and a shortish window to organise the trip there were some challenges. However Mac’s did not update me within the 5 day period and I had to contact them to ascertain progress to discover the trip was not finalised. That said a lot of effort was made to get the planning over the line. This involved more input on my part than I would have hoped. The trip itself was very enjoyable and Macs choice of accommodation excellent. The trip was in a remote area and I am not sure all mapping was available for the route All in all though a great trip and a decent effort from Macs.
Mr Chris Langton 23/09/2020

Walking holiday fully planned with only a week's notice. All accommodation very good and taxis were reliable. Able to amend booking to exclude baggage transfer with 3 days notice. Phone calls answered quickly. Only downside (small) was slightly optimistic view of time duration of one leg.
Mrs Carole Hathaway 23/09/2020

Great Isle of Wight walking holiday. Took a little longer to confirm the booking than normal and I had to chase. Would have liked better quality accommodation - B&Bs were very good but hotels much less so.
Mr Hywel Thomas Thomas 23/09/2020

The accommodation was excellent and the baggage transfer was seamless.
Mrs Jennifer McCabe 22/09/2020

The accommodation was really good, as were the walks. The GPS came into it’s own on the day we had poor visibility. The holiday was great, had a few hairy moments, few drenchings and a few lovely days.
Anonymous 22/09/2020

Great trip! Only one hiccup. One the hotels was unexpectedly closed due to covid. But Macs was awesome and had another room for us in about 15 minutes!
Mr John Baldwin 21/09/2020

Good daily walking challenges - some days quite demanding but nothing too excessive. The accommodation booked was all excellent and some really excellent particularly when you remember the additional difficulties Covid 19 has introduced.
Anonymous 21/09/2020

My booking was last minute and there were a few issues with dealing with my request that there be no taxi transfers. I was also drawn to the itinerary by the advertised stay in the Kingshouse Hotel but was told when booking that this depended on availability. I had to pay the full amount before accommodation was confirmed even though I stated I would not be interested in the itinerary if there were transfers (too many bad experiences) and if I couldn’t stay at the Kingshouse. This took considerable time to resolve and exasperation as it seemed to me that too many Mac people were in and out of the booking. This seems to be the case with previous bookings and recent enquiries. I lost interest in my most recent enquiry.

They responded quickly to my questions, but it often took several attempts to elicit the desired response

We definitely got the worst room in two of our hotels/B&Bs, we assume because Macs Adventures only generally pay for the cheapest rooms. One taxi didn't show up and we had to ring to arrange. The Itinerary could easily be improved - eventually you realise they try to write it to cover a number of similar trips but it means some of it is not relevant to our trip, which isn't always immediately obvious and so confusing. It took quite some time before our accommodation and transfers were confirmed and I had to chase this on a number of occasions.
Mrs Erica Lee 21/09/2020

Arrangements all ok. Accommodation welcoming and comfortable apart from the Garrison hotel in Fort William-grumpy unhelpful staff, dreadful breakfast, broken shower. Accuracy of the walk and general information could be better-some days were 2 miles longer than we expected. I think the walk should be a day longer, accommodation allowing.
Ms Sally Roberts 21/09/2020

Generally good but little information supplied
Anonymous 21/09/2020

We have used Macs a few times and they are always helpful. All arrangements went to plan but unfortunately there weren't any trip notes for Hadrian's Cycleway. Finding the way was not a problem because the route is well signed but a few notes to highlight points of interest were needed. We phoned to ask whether anything was available and were directed to the notes for the walk. This was better than nothing but the walk does not follow the same route and is done in the opposite direction.

Organised a holiday for us last minute. Did a great job and then were very flexible when we changed the schedule to do other walks
