Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Hillwalk tours was exceptional to deal with, we walked the Dingle way in early Sept and had an amazing 4 days. Meals, accommodations, transfers were all what we expected. The views were awesome

we did the dingleway moderate and enjoyed it very much, we loved to walk by the beach, ...all was exact and detailled organized, the documentation perfekt. The B&B's simple but nice and clean. Dingle is a nice lively place, to see the oratory is a must, even if you have to go some extra km, but there its al little shop with drinks and chocolats...and about the Irish weather is nothing to say...we had one week circa 22 degrees and no rain at all!
next time we'll book with Hillwalk again.

Walking the 6 day gentle tour of the South Downs with Hillwalk Tours. This is my second walk with Hillwalk and as before, everything was well planned by Hillwalk, from initially booking the tour to the communication, to payment methods, to receiving the walking packages, to a last minute change of accommodation - well done Hillwalk - I will continue to recommend you and hope to do many more walks with you in the future - perhaps Beara Way or Southwest Coast path - or Fife or...

Me and my son went on the Dingle Way, on a trip that was fully organised by Hillwalk Tours. The beauty of the Dingle Peninsula is beyond compare and the experience was organised to perfection. Kudos!

My husband and I just finished a 5-day walk of the Dingle Peninsula (Ireland) as our 30th wedding anniversary gift to each other. It was absolutely fabulous. There is something very special about taking time to enjoy the slower pace of walking. We were able to savor the scenery - and even the occasional rain didn’t dampen our spirits. Hillwalk Tours set things up beautifully with great B & B’s each night, suggestions for places to stop along the way and easy transport of our luggage to the next stop each day. Can’t wait to figure out where we want to walk next with Hillwalk Tours.

We walked the Dingle Way with Hillwalktours ; the moderate way . We really loved everything about it !
The luggage transfer is always a big plus and the B & B’s were each good and perfect in their own way. It’s almost impossible to get lost with the maps , the description and the GPX .
And the route was fantastic ; such beautiful views , wow !!!
This will certainly not be the last time that we walk with this company .

The walk we did was ok. South downs way (the route we did) is a well known and well documented way. Hillwalk tours doesn't add much value to it though.
I realized that the price we payed is fair if you walk alone, but as a couple (like we are) it is totally overpriced. As a matter of fact, the extra price for the 2nd person comes to an extra breakfast and a little surplus for the luggage transfer (far from the extra 900 £ we payed).
My advice: organize the walk yourself, B&B's are easy to find and for the luggage transfer: multiple companies offer the service for 30/35£/day for 1/2 bagages. Result : 50% savings

Hi Trek26834419215, Thank you for taking the time to share your comments with us. We’re delighted that you enjoyed your hike on the South Downs Way! Our tour prices are calculated on a per person sharing basis, as outlined on our website. In addition to B&B accommodation, luggage transfer and walking pack material, there are many other unseen costs which we have to take into account. For example, our team have personally walked all our trails and created the route notes based on the point of view of a walker. I hope this gives you a small insight into the work, time and effort we put into creating these happy experiences that have many of our walkers coming back to us year after year. We hope to welcome you on another tour with us soon! Happy Trails!

Just great. We did the gentle walk on the Westhighland Way and we're not dissapointed. Cosy high quality B&B's luggage service and very extensive documentation around the route. Take note with the 5 day tour you are wlaking three days because of arrival departure days. Make sure you calcultae that in your trip.

Hillwalk Tours were great. This is the third hike that I did with them and it was well-organized and quite enjoyable. The lodging accommodations were fantastic, with very helpful hosts/hostesses. The trip pack was thorough and useful.
