What time does the tour end? When do we reach back to Edinburgh?

We would return back at around 6pm approx.

Do you have any tour from April 2nd 2026? Is the maximum age only 45. Do you have any tour package for seniors over 70?

We don't have this tour on the 2nd but we do have it departing on the 1st or 4th of April 2026. There is no maximum age of 45. You would be able to book this tour, or any of our other tours as a senior over 70.

Would like more details on this trip - cost, availability, etc. Is there a US number to call?

Would like more information about this tour, itinerary, what it incudes, price, etc. Is there a US contact number to speak with someone?

Would like to know if you have vegetarian or vegan specific tours

Haggis Adventures Tours include accommodation based on multishare, mixed gender hostel dorm accommodation. The tour packages do not include meals. We would also recommend checking out our sister brand, Highland Explorer Tours who offer the same itineraries such as the 3 day Isle of Skye tour with 3* B&B accommodation which will include a complimentary Scottish breakfast. Our accommodation partners are generally able to accommodate vegetarian/vegan dietary requests but we do ask that travellers consider that certain destinations visited may be very rural with more limited choice at local eateries for travellers with dietary considerations.

What time do we need to check in and where does the tour start?

Check-in starts at 7:45 am at Edinburgh Bus Station, Gate J, Stance 15/16.

Can I bring hand luggage along with my suitcase?

Yes, you can bring hand luggage on board as long as it fits overhead on the coach.

Does the bus stop at Dunvegan Castle and what are the entry costs?

Yes, the bus stops at Dunvegan Castle, and the added cost for this stop is $28.

Are there any optional experiences available during the tour?

Yes, there are optional activities available which can be added to your booking.

I just wanted to track to see if there was a luggage limitation for this tour as a few that I've seen has a 15kg. Given that I'm coming from Australia I would likely have more luggage

We do ask that you keep it to a medium size case of 15kg if possible but let me know.

Can I see the Isle of Skye if I don’t take the steam train?

Yes, you will still enjoy the Isle of Skye for two nights even if you do not take the steam train.

I was absolutely discouraged with the accommodations, The brochure did not say initially we would sleep in a hostel. Then I was told we would . Not willingly I agreed. When we got to the hostel the people did not understand English. The room was 8' x 12-14' with 6 beds. No room for luggage even. Then we had to share with to young ladies in their 20's. We are two couples in our 70's. How inappropriate is that. Then I had listed on your information sheet I was extremely allergic to shrimp. Even smelling it I have a severe reaction. Someone was cooking shrimp and I had a reaction..We had to leave the hostel. We ended up with a family room for 300 pounds a night, a total of 600 ponds unexpected cost. I was called the night before to check if I was OK with the hostel. I said I was not but guess I did no have a choice as we were in Scotland already. Why were there only a few of us that had to stay in a hostel. The rest were in nice hotels. The tour guide Karis was wonderful in trying to help find rooms.. I expect you to pay for the rooms. What do you intend to do for this major catastrophe in what was supposed to be a great vacation?Show more

Karis was a very good guide and a very skillful driver, I was very disappointed in the accommodation provided by Haggis Tours. I only realised that it is a budget tour company and expected to stay in a dormitory but I did not expect to stay in a hostel that I would have stayed in in the 1980s. The standard of hostels has improved a lot since then. At nearly 76 years old I did not find the accommodation at all comfortable.Show more

We had a fantastic three-day tour of the Highlands and Skye. Our guide, Dusty, was great. He organised everything perfectly and his commentary throughout the tour was lively and informative. He really took care of us! The tour itself is an excellent way to get a taste for the Scottish Highlands without having to hire a car or deal with the pot-holed backroads of Skye! The scenery was just magnificent and the stops both going up to the Isle of Skye and on the return were well worth it. We visited Loch Ness on the way up and Glencoe on the way back. The hostel accommodation was cheap and cheerful, but did the trick, and the independent hostel is right in the middle of Portree on Skye, so it's really convenient. And it has a huge kitchen so you can self-cater. A fabulous tour. Highly recommend!Show more
