I took the tour with the company Traveling through Scotland in Spanish. Last week, I had everything paid for, meaning the tour and the hostel. When I arrived at the hostel, they told me that I had to pay for both nights. Because the company had not done it. I had to leave my passport as a guarantee until the next day when I paid with my card. After arguing with the guide named Craig, who never provided a solution to the problem. I had to contact the office of this agency in Edinburgh. After 24 hours, they refunded my money. Which meant that if I did not claim it, I would pay for the stay twice. I saw a disorganization and lack of respect for the customer, and the worst experience was the guide - a lack of consideration and respect. I do not recommend that travel company, nor the hostel where I stayed. It was a doghouse!
- Itinerary was incorrect. We didn't end up doing several things that it specified and it was in a different order than what was listed. We were supposed to "sample Highland whisky at a distillery and learning how Scotch is made" as outlined in the listing on TripAdvisor, however we didn't visit a distillery at all. The whiskey tasting was ultimately what made us decide to book this one out of many and we didn't get to do it. - Many of the places we visited were "viewpoints" which were often kilometres away from the actual landmark, meaning we would get a distant photo instead of seeing it up close. Particularly disappointing was Eileen Donan Castle and the Old Man of Storr (pictures attatched), as we were just so far away and thought we would get up close to both of them. - This was much less active than we thought and more 'get out and take a picture of something that is so far away you can barely see it.' - The Dundreggan Rewilding Centre was an odd choice to put on a budget backpacker tour as it was a long stop and we felt like we were on a school trip learning about the environment. We felt it would have been better to spend more time in other locations. - The tour guide was good. - The crowd was all older individuals who couldn't do much active walking/climbing so it didn't really feel like a 'backpacker' tour.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your experience — we really do appreciate it, and I’m sorry to hear that parts of the tour did not meet your expectations. I’m sorry for the disappointment around how the itinerary felt in practice. Our itineraries are intended as a guide, and while the order of stops can occasionally vary due to operational considerations, we do aim to deliver the overall experience as described. In relation to the whisky tasting, I’m sorry this was something you were expecting and didn’t experience. This particular tour does not include a distillery visit or whisky tasting as part of its itinerary, so it appears there may have been some confusion with the information viewed at the time of booking. We completely understand how this would be disappointing, particularly if it influenced your decision. I’m also sorry that some of the stops, particularly at Eilean Donan Castle and the Old Man of Storr, did not provide the level of access you were expecting. Our tours aim to balance time, safety, and accessibility, though we appreciate that viewpoint-based stops may not suit everyone’s preferences for a more immersive or active experience. Regarding the Dundreggan Rewilding Centre, this is a planned and clearly scheduled stop on the itinerary, typically for around one hour. It is included as part of Our MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences which are all about conscious travel. We handpick these experiences because they make a positive impact on Scotland's communities and the people who enjoy them. I am sorry you did not appreciate this. We’re pleased to hear that you found your guide to be good, and we’ll be sure to pass your kind feedback on to them. Lastly, I’m sorry that the overall pace and group dynamic didn’t match your expectations of a ‘backpacker-style’ tour. We recognise that interpretations of this can vary, and your feedback is valuable as we continue to review how we present the experience. Thank you again for sharing your feedback — it’s really helpful as we continue to improve. Kind regards, Ayla
Louise is the best!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better tourguide and trip. The carefully chosen route, stories, playlists (and jokes ;) were creating a beautiful atmosphere. Felt amazing to be part of the group!
Thanks for sharing your kind words for our wonderful driver guide Louise, Corinna!. We are glad that you enjoyed your wee adventure on the misty Isle and scenic Highlands and appreciated the personal nature of our small group tour and the cosy atmosphere created! We hope to welcome you back to adventure in Scotland again! Kind regards, Amy Haggis Adventures
This was weird because we were part of a bigger group That was not backpackers. Globaly it was good - the last day was chaotic and too Much charges with stops That were useless. Think about bringing snacks. Was really an ultimate tour - but i think That dôme stops should be planed differently and maybe changed. I think That the Driver was 100% into the tour and was responsible for it being a success.
Hi Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review of your recent tour experience. Our 3 day Skye High tour is combined with our 3 day Skye & Highlands tour with our sister company Highland Explorer Tours. The only difference is that of the accommodations. We do allow time to have toilet breaks, lunches and breaks. We are delighted to read that you had such an enjoyable time on tour with us. We will be sure to pass on your kind words and feedback which we will share with our operations team. We look forward to welcoming you back on tour with us again soon. Kind Regards Keith, Reservations, Haggis Adventures
Great tour! Louise, our tour guide, was amazing. She was quite the storyteller and a very impressive coach driver!! The Haggis Adventure folk (5 of us total, all solo travellers) were merged with guests that had booked with Highland Experience (23 of them). Meaning we were on a larger coach, but all the activities were the same, the only difference was where we slept! The hostel in Portree was great, We had an 8 bed dorm all to ourselves and an ensuite bathroom which was very convenient. My only comment about our stay is that Breakfast at the hostel starts at 8:00 am, therefore we could not really partake in it, since we had to be at the coach at 8:30 and 8:05 depending on the day.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We are glad to hear that you had such a great time on our 3-day tour with the wonderful Louise. It sounds like you had a fantastic time and were well looked after. We will pass on your comments to Louise. Thank you for your feedback regarding the breakfast at the Hostel, we will pass this on. We hope to see you again soon, Kind regards, EJ
We had an amazing time! The tour is well paced, with lots of Nature stops, town adventures, tasty lunch stops. Graeme, our tour guide, was wonderful! He kept the vibe relaxed and fun, with many myths and stories about the places we stopped. His Scottish playlist was also really great throughout the journey. Accommodations in Portree were nice and comfortable. We also lucked out with sunny weather. 10/10 would do another (and probably longer) tour. Thanks Graeme! - Anastasiya

My Mum and I have thoroughly enjoyed your 3 day tour with the Jacobite Train and Trip round the Isle of Skye. Torva was our guide and he was amazing, funny and very entertaining. Also had lots of great information and tales to tell. Highly recommend ⭐⭐
Hi Sarah, Thanks for leaving us a 5 star review. We are glad you enjoyed your tour with us. Torva is a fantastic driver guide and we will pass your feedback on. We hope to welcome you back on another tour with us soon. Kind Regards. Keith, Haggis Adventures Tours
This tour was absolutely amazing!! It was recommended by a friend and I’m so glad j went. I had an amazing tour guide named Cara that spent three days telling us lots of stories about the places we were visiting. Cara made the tour very welcoming and was such a fun experience! During the time I went there was a massive storm that hit Scotland however the Haggis tours team did an amazing job accommodating all guests and keeping us informed. Skye was absolutely beautiful and enjoyed every minute of the tour. This is a tour I’d highly recommended!
Hello, thank you for taking the time to share your lovely feedback and recommendation for our 3 day Isle of Skye and Highlands multiday tour. We are delighted that you appreciated the efforts of our team who worked hard to manage any storm disruption and hope you will treasure the memories of enchanting Skye for many years to come. We hope to welcome you back for another wild, Scottish adventure in the future! Best wishes, Amy

Hi Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We are thrilled to hear you had a great time on tour. Tim is an amazing guide and we will pass your feedback on. We hope to see you again soon. Kind Regards, Keith
This trip will always remain a special memory for me. We visited many stunning places, but what truly made the experience fantastic was our guide and driver, Tiegan. Their energy and passion really added to the journey. We covered a total of 18 locations, some in detail and others as quick photo stops. Isle of Skye is beautiful. Tiegan shared numerous facts and stories throughout, and their storytelling kept everyone engaged for all three days. The trip is definitely worth the price, though it’s worth noting we opted for the hostel, which factored into our evaluation of the cost. It was an incredible experience with a great group, and Tiegan made sure everyone was treated fairly, allowing us to make the most of every moment. The organizers were very responsive to all our queries, which added to the overall positive experience. The only minor suggestion I’d make is to provide a more detailed daily itinerary, including timings, to help with planning lunch. Otherwise, it was amazing! -- Nazneen & Mukul
Thank you so much for sharing this heartfelt review! We're overjoyed to know that this trip will remain a special memory for you. Tiegan will be thrilled to hear that their energy, passion, and storytelling made your journey even more memorable – they truly have a way of bringing each location to life! It sounds like you experienced the best of the Isle of Skye and beyond, and we're glad you found the trip worth the price. We always aim to ensure a positive experience, and we're happy to hear that our team's responsiveness played a part in that. Your suggestion about providing a more detailed daily itinerary, is very much appreciated. We'll take that into consideration to make future experiences even smoother for our guests. Once again, thank you for your recommendation and for traveling with us. We hope to welcome you back on another adventure soon!
