Whisky - love it or loathe it, you can’t ignore it. Join us on a small-group tour that has a taste of it all!
Scotland’s national drink is a fiery, full-bodied experience, and whether you’re raising a glass in admiration or cautiously taking a sip, it’s all part of the adventure. You’ll learn why this golden dram is our biggest export, and who knows, you might just discover a new favourite. Or if whisky isn't your thing, explore the little market town of Crieff, packed with quirky shops and cosy cafés.
Along the way, we’ll take in spectacular waterfalls, wander through an ancient glen steeped in legend, explore lush Highland woodlands, and stop by a picture-perfect village. Even if whisky isn’t your thing, the scenery alone is worth the trip!

Lightning haggis adventures! Differential service yellow
Seaside68212228995,Apr 23, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
1.00Who in the family understands. A trip to the Scottish Highlands, which was supposed to be a pleasure, turned out to be disgusting for this travel agency called Haggis Adventures! 🤢 I thought it was an authentic old travel agency, and as a result not only did I feel distinctly different on the trip, but follow-up communication also struck me. ❌[Lightning Protection Point 1: Obvious Differential Treatment] On the day of the trip, as white tourists boarded, driver Steve smiled and said "Welcome aboard." It was the turn of Asian tourists, without even a basic greeting, to be cold-faced throughout. There were six yellows that day, three Chinese and three Filipinos, none of whom was greeted by the driver. And non-English speaking white tourists they all offer to give automatic guides (such as Spanish, French and so on) and they also apparently write out Chinese services, that is to say want to make Chinese money! They didn't even ask me when they came to me. I'm yellow, obviously need to ask if I need a guide in another language?! And then the other white people, they were all delivering the auto-guides to people, and I went to the driver, who was impatient and said, "Why? Run to the store and get it yourself! When I ran to the store, the staff asked me why I was here and she could bring it for me. This discriminatory behavior, it's really disgusting. ❌ "Lightning Point 2: Hypocritical PR Routines" After I wrote the bad review, their manager blamed everything on “miscommunication” and “you didn’t read the information yourself”. I responded. Why are only Asian tourists asked to get off the bus and go back to the store to pick up their equipment? Why is there a welcome speech for white people and silence for Asians? ❌ [Lightning Point 3: Cold Violence After a Breach] Here comes the best. When I justifiably fought, went to the heart of discrimination and demanded a formal apology and refund, the manager, Ayla, broke straight through, ripped off her disguise and dumped the following sentence with extreme rudeness: 👉 “Nothing further will be discussed here.” Then directly and unilaterally cut off communication channels. This arrogant gesture of "just shut you up" is so disgusting, I'm all pure angry and crying! (My Girl) ⚠️ If you're an Asian tourist, take a lightning strike at this Haggis Adventures. Their so-called “30 years of experience” may have been spent on perfunctory and discriminatory treatment of yellow tourists. They don't welcome us, and we definitely don't send money to such arrogant companies!
Wonderful Excursion!!!

Excellent Excursion with a Great Guide

5.00Weather was nice when it needed to be, especially walking through the Hermitage. Tiegan was an awesome guide with lots of fun history and stories, also great driver navigating a large coach through the backroads and Dunkeld! Whiskey tour was a great addition to the excursion. Kelpies (my favorite part) were magnificent and we got there before all of the student tour groups (totally uncrowded pictures). Loved walking in the Hermitage and had about an hour to explore it!
Beautiful tour

5.00My husband and I went on the tour to Glenturret distillery with stops to see the Kelpies and the Hermitage (water falls). Our trip was smooth and enjoyable with adequate time at each location. Emily, our guide, was top notch as a driver and curator for the trip. I recommend it highly!

Dangerous journey through Scotland
Da G,Mar 7, 2024
- Review from Tripadvisor
2.00Laurie has to drive and talk! During the journey, the volume of the car music system is often manipulated on the cell phone. Such journeys are not permitted in Scotland either, and are unacceptable with customers in the bus Tour only driver, without guide. Tour in English. Tablet provided unusable for other languages. Only about 3 minutes of explanations per place. The tour of the whisky factory only in English with no translation option (we were offered something else). No tasting, only a tiny drop of whisky given in the factory, as stingy as Scots are. £17.00 per person too expensive. At the end of the tour, we were not dropped off at the meeting point (see program, does not correspond to agreements). This tour is not recommended and is life-threatening, as Laurie also has to act as guide during the journey. The left hand is very often not on the steering wheel, even when Laurie is talking and driving.
