I was taking a diabetic medicine that was causing some bathroom issues and she did an emergency stop for me and I am so grateful. I highly recommend tours to see Uk as driving on the other side of the road and a million turn about circles is terrifying so let the professionals take that stress from you. Plus they know where the cool stuff is and when to go. Our other tours in other countries the driver and guide were separate, so she gets bonus points for doing it all and to perfection. the roads are so narrow and scary but she did great. this was first time using this company but left willing to take other tours with Rabbies. She didn't say anything about tips which most do .. but bring tip money and reward exceptional service. We went on the trip with another couple and made some lovely memories. Loved going with friends even made it more special but in other trips we ended up making friends for life so either way is great. We did a stop near an ancient Village I think Vikings anyway there were some shops there where my friend bought a purse and I kicked myself for not going in there and getting one too. I thought the purse prices would be better in Edinburgh they were made with the local Fabric and real leather. When we got to Edinburgh the purses were not as well made and they were more expensive and a lot of them weren't even with real leather or made locally. The Edinburgh purse is a lot of them they use the fabric woven there but they made them out of the country probably China or India. Anyway I that is my biggest regret of the trip that I didn't buy an Islander purse. Now I'm going to have to see if I can buy one online and it'll be a lot more money. So if you go to the Isle of sky and you want a bag or a purse you might want to keep that in mind. My friend bought one that was more large than what I would have wanted but it was around a hundred and some dollars great price for the quality. It's well known that the UK is not known for its great weather. Lots of rain and can be very windy around the cliffs and water. I bought vessie shoes which are waterproof and comfortable but kind of expensive. I also took a raincoat with a hood and a hat with a brim and a chin strap because the wind around the cliffs is real. This hat is especially nice because it has a mesh netting that you can unclip in case you're getting in a buggy area which around the ferry pools we needed. If you don't need the netting you can just clip it back up and so it's really handy. The UK and pretty much most of Europe we find that they like twin beds in the hotels and especially the b&bs. I guess people don't like each other lol and want to sleep together. So we would call ahead and ask that they push the beds together before we get there if that was the case. They also don't seem to have air conditioning screens on the windows or sheets on the beds?? Sometimes places will have fans so it's worth asking or calling ahead to see if you can reserve a fan because they definitely don't have enough fans for every room. If you stay in a US-based hotel like a Hilton or Marriott Holiday Inn you don't have to deal with this as much but I guess it's just common in Europe. Traveling through the summer or heat wave months this can be a bit of a problem. The bed seemed all have these duvets which is great if it's cold out but when it's too warm it's a bit uncomfortable. Since we were roasting we had to open the window didn't love that there was no screen and a lot of the windows are made to where you can only open them about an inch so it doesn't provide much air. This was the case through all of the UK not just the Isle of Skye.

Starting was not so pleasant, these girls' gang (3 ladies in their 40s), they all took window seats and nowthe guide is asking politely to sit them together so that the other person can board the bus, but no one wanna leave their window, and 3 seats were vacant. Hey, aunties, what about some basic courtesy? Everyone paid the same bucks, so don't act like you own the company Coming to the topic, the guide was witty, knowledgeable, and cool. Yes, I had some difficulty understanding the Scottish accent, but it's okay. The tour started with a quick coffee break at Calendar. Then we stopped at Trossachs Woollen Mill- This is possibly the most easiest way to spot highland cows in Scotland. The second stop was somewhere in the Scottish Highlands: beautiful surroundings, so soothing. Then we stopped at Commando Memorial, Fort Augustus Locks, and Loch Ness View Point, Fort Augustus. Each stop was a 15-45 min stop, depending on how big that attraction was. Loch Ness (Fort Augustus) was 2 hrs+ stop, as a few folks had to go on a boat tour. The bus was comfortable, and the guide kept telling us about stories of the highlands, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, and stuff. Overall, it was a tiring but fun day, knowing many facts, stories, and visiting such a beautiful part of the world.

We weren't able to tour inside since it's currently undergoing restoration but we were able to see the burial site of Robert the Bruce's' heart and walk the grounds. Next we made the drive to Hadrian's Wall and were able to walk along the wall where Roman soldiers stood in 122 AD; incredible! Finally we made a stop at the borders where we were able to be in the two countries at once. We had a fantastic day and loved Angela!

However, if you're looking for a frightening experience, I wouldn't get my hopes up on this one. Although we spent a considerable amount of time in a cemetry, trekked down questionable staircases under the city on a guided tour that started at midnight, I don't remember a time when I was close to being terrified. That being said, it was a fantastic experience, as quite a few sites were squeezed into the programme! Our guide was extremely competent, and I have to say he was a very talented storyteller. I wish I knew his name so I could mention it here! Our group was also quite sizeable, which may have reduced the fright-factor considerably. It was also quite amusing to see the Spanish language tour, which was taking place almost simultaneously to ours. Looking through my pictures from that night, it seems I was quite fascinated by headstones. My best memories ofcourse were of waiting for complete silence and sneaking up on my friends! I would definitely recommend you do that, specifically in the cemetry!

I had never been off my home continent before traveling to Scotland and I can honestly say that the time I spent there was the THE best traveling experience I've ever had. My brother and I traveled together, we are both in our late 20's, and we were fortunate enough to be in the same tour group as a handful of other people all around our same age. Getting to know people day by day, hiking, taking selfies, and learning each of their "foreign" lingos were only a few of the greatest aspects of the trip. We did the 10-day option with more than half of the original headcount, and it was well worth it! I don't know if I would've been able to only see 5 days of that part of Earth.. Luckily, during the 10-day I got to hang out with two of Haggis Adventures' guides, the first 5 days was with Gillian and the latter with Gregg, both which knew a great deal about the history of Scotland and all of the sites that we visited. (We visited A LOT of sites). Both of them always gave great advice on where to shop in each town we stopped through and ultimately they became new friends due to their great personalities and charisma. If I were to ever go back to Scotland I would do the Haggis Adventure's Tour all over again just to see things I might've missed out on, although I did take like 500+ photos of which I'm showing to my family and friends at our viewing party tonight :) Going to Scotland? Chose Haggis Adventures! P.S. There's phone chargers next to every seat on their buses so don't worry about taking extra batteries.. you'll never miss an opportunity to take photos!! https://www.haggisadventures.com/2-10-day-tours/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5aS0nbDB5AIVisDACh1FBwcZEAAYASAAEgIXIPD_BwE

It's approx 2 hours long and our tour guide Lou was great! I was a bit nervous with there being 30 or so people on the tour that it would be to large of a group but it never felt like I couldn't hear. We went to the cemetery in the daytime to walk around and I'm glad we did. We got the lay of the land and saw some graves in the light that would have been a bit harder to see during the tour. But then at night the cemetery tour was just the added info to add to the visit. There was lots of talking about spirits and things previous tours saw, but I never experienced anything. Did that take away from my tour? No. I was there for the history and atmosphere. A ghost encounter would have been a bonus.

They were prompt, organized, and did a great job managing a large group of 50+ tourists, keeping everyone on schedule so we could see all the sites in time. They struck a perfect balance between being flexible and being firm about making sure everyone respected each other's time. We were very lucky to see the steam train running, and it was only about 10 minutes later than our guide predicted. The only downside was the food options at the stops -- they really weren't great. I'd recommend either packing your own lunch or loading up on snacks at the first stop during breakfast. Other than that, it was a wonderful tour with great guides and excellent timing. Highly recommended!

When the tour was over, he also helped guide me back to where I needed to be, which I really appreciated as I wasn't too familiar with the city yet. The other three people on the tour were actually Edinburgh residents, and remarked repeatedly how much they'd enjoyed the day, and that Eat Walk Edinburgh had shown them places they didn't know about despite living here for decades. That sure does speak well for the tour!
