“We had a great guide which made all the difference. We saw Loch Ness, Stirling Castle, the Wallace Monument, the Jacobite Steam Train, the Kelpies, the battlefield of the Jacobites and Bonnie Prince Charlie, and many other awesome sites. All were impressive! In addition, our hotel accommodations were good and some were excellent. More rest stops on some routes would have been helpful.

5 days from Edinburgh to Orkney by mini-coach and ferry, with Skara Brae, Maeshowe, and Culloden admissions included.
“This tour was Amazing! From the moment we left Edinburgh we were informed and entertained to learn history and see wonderful sights of the Country. There were many stops along the way to allow us to take a wee stroll, and stretch our legs, as well as seeing some great sites. Our guides- Christopher and Craig did an excellent job of bringing the history of their country to life.

We stopped at many sites, and enjoyed learning about…”

“My daughter and I really enjoyed this tour Steve, the lead tour guide on this tour was incredible! His knowledge of Scottish history, and his kind heart was admirable.

5 days from Edinburgh through Skye and the Highlands with hostel stays, an air-conditioned coach, guided stops at Culloden, Loch Ness, and more.

The Isle of Skye and the highlands were my favorite part of the tour as you saw the autumn colors bloom on mountains and everywhere you drove by, was amazing of the nature scenery. The Haggis Adventure were great on organizing the tour and our driver/tour guide Alister made the trip exciting and well-knowledgeable to keep you entertained with Scottish stories and facts about Scotland.”

“We covered a huge amount of area but it didn’t feel like we just sat in a bus. The trip was flexible so if passengers wanted to see something specific the guide tried to make it possible. Lots of stories, music and history covered over the days. Our guide Bruce M was excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
Skye cliffs, Loch Ness cruise, Culloden and a possible Jacobite Train ride. 5-day Highlands tour with B&B, breakfast and whisky.
“La visita all' isola di Skye è una delle cose più belle di tutto il tour e poi il viaggio sul Jacobite Steam Train, la crociera sul lago di Lochness, i Kelpie. La nostra guida, Laurie, è stata bravissima, simpatica, paziente, ci ha raccontato aneddoti curiosi e divertenti, ci ha sempre dato consigli su cosa fare o dove mangiare. Trasporto e B&B ottimi. Forse avrei aggiunto qualche visita a qualche castello.”
