I do treks almost every year since 2005, i have seen all types of services some very good some less. Easyways is not one of the best and why:1. Payments are made in a way that you do not know exactly what you will get until after you pay, you get a general program and then refunds are not easyways. read the small letters!!2. In case of no accommodation, they offer a transport with bus or taxi to a different location. in our case taxi was delayed for a very long time ended in very late arrival to the gust house.3. In accurate place of the first luggage pickup
From planning our West Highland Way walk months ago to the very end, Easyways (especially Jackie) were exceptionally friendly, helpful and efficient. Every stage of the walk went perfectly, even on the day our tired legs made us very late for meeting Ian the patient driver (please thank him, Jackie). We recommend Easyways unreservedly!
We walked the Rob Roy Way everything was sorted for us no fuss, very uncomplicated and the accommodation was great will definitely be using them for self guided walks again.

I am an amateur walker and Easyways showed me how much more I can do and inspired me to some phenomenal walks and see the best of Scotland.
Poor accommodatiin on the Moray Firth Walk. Failed to pick up my suitcase for our last day walking the Great Glen Way - didn't bother to speak to hotel staff despite picking up two suitcases every other day. Rang Easyways who just gave the mobile number for the driver. Neither got back to me. Accommodation away from the beginning and end of each day's walking - other walkers were in hotels etc without the extra walking. Hosts really rated but overall overpriced and let down by poor service when it was needed.
Together with a friend, I have undertaken numerous self-guided long distance walks over the past 10 years or so. We originally found Easyways through an internet search and are very pleased that we did so. The procedure is very straightforward - just select your itinerary and they do the rest for a reasonable fee. All accommodation, bag transfer etc. is arranged and a Tour Pack is sent out, with all the information, including how to find the accommodation, where to eat and drink and so on.We have been very happy with the standard of accommodation over the years.The staff at Easyways are great to deal with - friendly and helpful and the whole process is entirely painless.In a nutshell, we automatically turn to Easyways when considering a long walk - wouldn't go anywhere else!
