Excellent route through some of Britain s finest lanscapes Excellent selection of lodgings by Macs and the luggage logistics was faultless

Great days in Portugal

Everything was fine Great accomodations Transfers on time and nice drivers And the landscape is fantastic

Great experience

The information we were given from out initial enquiry to undertaking the walk was accurate and any questions were dealt with promptly The accommodation was excellent our luggage was always waiting for us and the walking was exactly as described - challenging in places but well worth the effort Macs Adventures provided an excellent service throughout

Wonderful Hike On The Beara Peninsula

The trip went really well The B B hosts were wonderful Connections and transport flawless The weather mostly cooperated We loved the remoteness of the Beara Peninsula which added to the sense of adventure We saw only 4 other hikers in 4 days on the trail Two suggestions on the route Add the Ballycrovane Ogham Stone 0 2 mi off route on day 2 and the Ardgroom Stone Circle 0 3 mi off route on day 3 The Ardgroom Stone Circle was the most impressive of the four circles we visited The Ogham Stone is the tallest in Ireland Each side trip took only minutes Since the Beara route is a bit remote with limited dinner options our B B hosts served dinner at the 3 middle hike nights and we got to know them a bit better Nealy at Summer Hill on our first night got us going in the right directions for both an evening dinner and the first morning s hike Therese at Coulagh Bay was so helpful running a laundry load for us and preparing a wonderful dinner of Irish stew and salmon John Mary at SeaVilla were exceptionally engaging and helpful and the property sparkled Excellent dinner plus transport to and from the town of Ardgroom Sheila at Mountain View was an exceptional cook the hake and soup - we d go back just for that and very helpful driving us a bit further east to an easier access point to the trail This was the day of lashing rain and wind Marian and her son quickly volunteered their dryer and washer when we arrived soaked at Rockcrest House in Kenmare And Marian let us park the car there for 4 days before Other travelers may be interested in doing as we did renting a car in Dublin and leaving it at the final B B of the trip Simpler than trains and buses plus permits a simple transition to additional car travel once the hike is finished Just don t choose EuropCar - they refuse the insurance you bought thru Expedia and charge you 4x

Walking the West Highland Way

We only decided to walk the West Highland Way at short notice in September 2023 a popular time and so were delighted to be offered a cancellation by Macs Adventure for a self-guided 8-day trip Although you never actually get to see any of Macs Adventure staff their communication was so good that you never felt out of touch The whole trip went off well particularly as it corresponded with a spell of fine weather with excellent accommodation guide book and an app which gave you all the information you needed about the trip They also offer back-up in the event of a problem which happily we didn t need I can t honestly say I d heard of this company before but their name resonated with other travellers we met and I d have no reservation in recommending them

Great Trek Alta Via 1 North

Great Trek Alta Via 1 North - Easy to navigate great accommodation in local refugios Would love to do other Dolomites treks with Macs Adventure

Verona to Lake Garda cycle tour

This was our second adventure with Macs our first being the Danube boat bike tour last year We enjoyed it so much we booked a self-guided bike trip from Verona and finishing at Lake Garda The three hotels which we used were very nice and we could not fault them There was a small issue in that the Verona hotel did not have adequate bike storage space after they made alterations to the hotel earlier this year We ended up storing them overnight in a downstairs storeroom accessed by a tiny lift I had to take the bikes down one at a time stood vertically The hotel staff were oblivious of any arrangements so I had to get in touch with Macs to resolve the situation That said it was a fantastic hotel and worth the bit of hassle It looks like they ve stopped using this particular hotel which is situated in the courtyard of Juliet s balcony but I d strongly recommend that they continue to use it and find a solution to the bike storage Store them at another nearby location perhaps Delivery and collection of the bikes went smoothly as were the luggage transfers You could probably find cheaper alternatives if you fish around but I know that the accommodations which they arrange will be of a very good standard Maybe book early so you get their usual hotels If you book later you may end up being put into their second-choice hotels

Thames Path Walk from Source of Thames

Thames Path Walk from Source of Thames to OxfordThe accommodations were conveniently located and the hoteliers were friendly and welcoming Our walk was exactly according to the map through beautiful countryside with many interesting historical features from Roman ruins to Anglo Saxon Gothic bridges and WW ll fortifications A relaxing and hassle free adventure

Efficient seamless service from booking to completion of walk

This was the second time that I have used Macs Adventures On both occasions they have been absolutely superb easy to book online keeping me updated with arrangements and the information pack with the map and information was very full and thorough I walked the Dales way in September and also used their app during the walk It is possible if so inclined to use this without having to use any navigational skills and therefore appreciate more the surrounding scenery Luggage collection and transfer very efficient no complaints about the accommodation booked Part of the walk necessitated a taxi transfer and there were no problems All in all a very enjoyable holiday This is the second time that I have used Macs Adventures and would wholeheartedly recommend and will definitely use them again in the future
