Overall, the trip was fantastic. There were two glitches. 1. When we arrived in Eriskay, nobody was there to pick up our luggage. We had to call, and we had to wait around 20 mintues before someone picked us up. We were tired, and we still had miles to bike. We also needed to get to a dinner reservation. All other luggage transfers were perfect. 2. When we got to the Hotel Hebrides, we were told that there was one hotel room, and then a two bedroom apartment for two of the couples. However, the apartment only had one bathroom. Our itinerary specifically stated that all our reservations would have en suite bathrooms. This was a beautiful location, but we didn't get the bathrooms we were promised We loved every oher aspect of the trip.Show more

Reply from: Spirit Journeys Worldwide
Thank you for sharing such a detailed review. We’re so pleased to hear that you loved your trip overall and that the experience was a fantastic one. We also truly appreciate you pointing out the two issues you encountered, your feedback is very important to us. We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused by the delay with luggage pickup in Eriskay, especially after a long day of travel, and also for the mix-up at Hotel Hebrides regarding the ensuite facilities. Please rest assured we are addressing these matters directly with our partners to ensure they don’t happen again. We’re delighted that every other element of the trip met your expectations, and it means a great deal to us that you highlighted how much you enjoyed the rest of your journey. We’d be honoured to welcome you back in the future and create an even smoother experience next time.
