Haggis Adventures

If you want an awesome adventure lead by guides who are clearly passionate about their job and their country, choose Haggis! If you want to see the best parts of Scotland and experience some truly memorable moments, choose Haggis. If you don’t mind being made to do a weird dance to summon Nessy on the shores of Loch Ness, choose Haggis. Eh.
Fantastic five day drive around Scotland. Our guide was Scott– who sadly is no longer on the road. Visited Loch Ness, Isle of Skye and Glen Coe. Will remain one of my favourite trips ever!

If you are looking for a «wild and sexy» time, look no further than Haggis Adventures.
I chose Haggis because of the enormous amount of positive reviews that have remained consistent over the years.
I have recently participated in the 5 day Hebridean Hopper tour, departing July 29^th with the outstanding Jamie, as our guide.
I was travelling solo, but the diverse nature of people in the group meant that I was able to make friends quickly. Everyone was super friendly in the group.
The content of the tour was fantastic and provides great value for money. Over the course of 5 days, we saw and experienced about dozens of notable sights of interest from the comfort of our very comfortable yellow mini bus.
Jamie, our guide provided excellent and honest commentary through the tour. As a lover of Scottish history, I felt Jamie’s retelling of historical events was historically accurate and broken down in easy to understand stories for the tourists with no background on Scotland. He also wove in nuggets of comedy gold to keep us entertained throughout the trip. As a teacher, I must commend him on his excellent presentation skills as he spoke very clearly, repeated key terms and answered questions effectively. He’s a fantastic tour guide, with a passion for Scotland that generates excitement within the group. Using his resources and connections to locals really helped to make the tour extra special, which was appreciated by all in the group.
My only constructive feedback for Haggis, is to provide more detail about the difference between the Skye High and Hebridean Hopper tours when booking. As I felt very mislead by the name «Hebridean Hopper», that the tour is primarily of the Outer Hebrides and the tour of the Inner Hebrides (Skye), is basically just driving through to the mainland. The name of the tour suggests you are «hopping» to the Outer and Inner Hebrides and the map shows you are going through Skye, however many of the people on our 5 day tour felt the same about the Skye part. Clearly, this is so you purchase the 10 day tour or come back on another tour. Which, I will come back, so you’ve got me there. But it seems to be a shock to the travellers during the tour, so it would be really helpful if you sorted that out.
Also, from a different perspective, on the 10 day tour, it seems to be an inefficient route to have the group go to Skye twice. Why not do a proper tour of Skye when everyone is together and then go to a different area to maximize on the 10 day tour instead of driving all the way back to Skye? It’s just a thought that kept recurring in conversations with travellers on the tour.
The hostels were pretty good. They seemed to be mostly independent hostels, fairly clean and friendly staff. Of course, you don’t have to stay in hostels, but it’s a very affordable option and reasonably priced. The convenience of paying for the accommodation and extras in advance was lovely, so everything was taken care of before you arrived. You only needed to worry about food and spending money, which supermarkets and restaurant options were clearly explained and left for you to decide within your budget.
I absolutely loved my Haggis trip! I will definitely be joining them again on more tours in the future! Thanks again to Jamie, for being absolutely awesome! I also enjoyed the kilt! :)

Just before Hogmanay I went on the three day tour called Skye High, it was amazing! The many reason I enjoyed it so much was because of the amazing guide we had. Keith had so many facts and stories about all the places we saw. You could also tell that he really enjoyed sharing them with us and that made them even better.
The accommodations along the trip were also very nice. The first night we stayed in Morag’s Lodge in Fort Augustus, right near Loch Ness. It was very nice and clean with good size bathrooms. The most fun was the trivia quiz we did in the bar later that night. The second night was on Skye at a place called Saucy Mary’s. This was a little more of a true hostel with one two bathrooms on each floor and 5 – 6 people in each room. But at night the bar was in full swing and they even had a band.
Overall the entire experience was great. If you are planning a trip to Scotland in the winter though be sure to remember all your warm and water proof clothes!

I went on a 3-​day trip through the Scottish Highlands called Skye High Scotland and I will never forget it. Though I tend to avoid touristy activities, it seemed like the smartest way to see the Highlands which are some of the most beautifully majestic landscapes in the world. The tour company is geared toward active young people who want to make their cash stretch far as possible. Highlights included Stirling Castle, Glencoe, Loch Ness, Eilean Donan Castle, Inverness, Fort Augustus, Isle of Skye and Colloden Battlefield. My favorite stop was called Quiraing on Isle of Skye. Just stunning, breathtaking scenery! The lodging arranged by the tour was at Morag’s Lodge in Fort Augustus, just along the Loch Ness. This place was warm, clean, very comfortable and they prepared really great food for us. By night local musicians performed as we had a tartan toga party and learned traditional Scottish folk dancing! It was a ton of fun. Check out my pictures:

Awesome, awesome, awesome! Went on the 3 day Skye high adventure, which went to the Isle of Skye and Loch Ness, among other places.
The hostel we stayed at in Loch Ness (Morag’s Lodge) was great. The drinks were drink and the rooms were big, with en-​suite bathrooms (which were themselves very modern and large). The place does have tartan carpet throughout, which is pretty funny, though.
The tour guide was great — he wore a kilt for most of it and let us know at the end if he was wearing underwear. Nice.
We had a mixture of people — early twenties to early forties and I definitely think the tour was suited to everyone. The land itself is the main attraction and the tour guide did let us have a little say in what we did on the last day (as in he offered a Whiskey tour and I don’t remember what else, cause we all chose the Whiskey)

I went on a tour in 2009. I loved it do much I dragged another person along in 2012. I felt like my tourguide hated me, and was resentful of me for being with my friend because he liked her more? That was my second time. From my first time, I cried when my laptop broke down after and I lost all my picture/​vids from that tour. It was AMAZING.
Besides feeling isolated the second time, it was still fun, and I made friends from all over. It was so flexible and lovely, and we took so many detours to awesome places with cool stories.

Haggis ist ein Unternehmen, das Gruppenreisen durch Schottland und Wales für eine junge Zielgruppe (ca. bis unter 30) anbietet. Mir hat die dreitägige Skye-​High-​Tour, die ich gemacht habe, sehr gefallen. Die Mitreisenden stammten — kaum überraschend — hauptsächlich aus Deutschland, Australien und den USA.
Als Reisegruppe wird man immer sehr viel im Bus hin und her gefahren. Reiseleiter und Fahrer haben sich aber sehr angestrengt, Schottland unter anderem auch von seiner kulinarischen Seite aus zu zeigen. Haggis, IRN-​BRU und Cullen Skink sind mir keine Fremdwörter mehr…
