What a trip!

The wealth of knowledge shared by Connor was very impressive and thoroughly entertaining. Nothing quite like driving through the Highlands listening to tales about fairies, clans and giants. The views were absolutely breathtaking and we were so lucky to have such good weather too. A truly unforgettable trip. On ya Connor!

Amazing host and dost (Friend) *Connor* …. Travelling solo for the scenic highlands

What an incredible experience! I booked the 3-day Highlands and Isle of Skye tour with Haggis Adventures, and honestly, it was one of the highlights of my entire Scotland trip! From the breathtaking landscapes and dramatic mountains to the beautiful lochs and charming little villages, every single stop felt like something straight out of a movie. Scotland has completely stolen my heart! What made the experience even more special was the sense of adventure, the opportunity to meet wonderful people from different parts of the world, and the memories we created along the way Our amazing lovely guide “CONNOR” made us laugh till our stomaches ached. Three days simply weren’t enough to take in all that beauty! I came for the scenery, but I’m leaving with memories I’ll cherish for a lifetime. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Good management of time and places

Connor, our guide, was very enthusiastic during the whole trip. Before this tour I never booked one because I didn’t like the idea of being conditioned by time - but this tour was the perfect time to meet so much places with enough time to enjoy it by yourself and with others. The group is small, which also helps to socialize and have a good time. I will re visit!

Excellent tour

My daughter and I enjoyed this tour very much. It took in most of the recommended sights and experiences in the Scottish Highlands. Rich Lawrence was an excellent tour guide and driver. He shared the history of the area and brought a warm personal touch to the tour. Our only disappointment was that the tour advertised an optional ride on the Jacobite steam train that was not possible for us to experience. This tour was a highlight for us from our trip to Scotland.
