Haggis Scotland

Welcome to Bonnie Scotland! Our proud wee country has so much to offer and we are on a mission to show you everything! Enjoy all the things you'd expect to find in Scotland - dramatic scenery, blood thirsty history, screeching Bagpipes, wild Highlanders in Kilts (no underwear!) and MUCH MUCH MORE!

Why is HAGGiS the only way to go?
Simple! It's a people thing. We've only ever had one aim - to provide the very best adventures for independent travellers anywhere on the planet! Since we're only as good as every member of our team, we insist that everyone shares our passion for Scotland and travel, has travelled extensively and knows what it's really like to travel on a budget. To our team, travel is not a job - it's our passion. While others work in travel to live - we live to travel!

We know what it's like to spend your hard earned cash, and be disappointed. That's why we're fanatical about making sure that every day, every single HAGGIS trip is the best we've ever run. We passionately believe Scotland is magnificent - it's our mission to help you love it like we do!

PASSIONATE team: We're proud that over the years our team has earned a reputation for being the best in the world - the Scottish experts! Perhaps that's why more travellers trust us with their precious travel time than any other travel network in the UK or Ireland, and why they keep on sending their friends to discover Scotland with us!

LEGENDARY crew: You may only be in Scotland once in your life, so to us it's important that the people who know it best show you around - the locals. Our guides are all young, superbly trained, highly entertaining, local characters with a knowledge and understanding of our country that is second to none. Widely recognised as the best trained, and world renowned for their professionalism; the best there are. They are your historian, weather forecaster, geologist, archaeologist… basically your travelling Scottish encyclopaedia!

GORGEOUS vehicles: Just because you're travelling on a budget doesn't mean ramshackle vehicles or a compromise on safety is acceptable. That's why we use Mercedes Benz midi-coaches, the latest models custom-built especially for you! Sunshine yellow, and named after our legendary crew, our wee buses all have BIG eco-friendly (low-emission) hearts, BIG windows, and BIG sound systems, and are ideally suited for mountain passes and single-track roads. Perfect for that legendary HAGGiS atmosphere!

FANTASTIC reliability: HAGGiS Adventures are renowned for their reliability - after all, if we booked a tour we'd expect it to run too! We do NOT operate minimum numbers policy so once you book you will travel - guaranteed! Since 1993 we have never EVER cancelled a tour.

AWESOME routes: Our routes are designed to give you the widest possible understanding of our amazing country. History, politics, ancient Scotland, modern Scotland, sport, music, life as a Scot... by the time you leave you'll be part Scottish!

The Shamrocker Ireland

Cead Míle Failte! (One Hundred Thousand Welcomes!) Join The Shamrocker and we'll show you how to enjoy some real Irish 'ceol, craic agus ruaille-buaille' (GREAT FUN!). Spend time exploring the lunar landscape of The Burren, the windswept Cliffs of Moher or reel your way into a night of traditional Irish music and dance....ONLY with The Shamrocker!

Travel with The Shamrocker - Awaken your Sixth Sense!
SEE for yourself why millions of people around the world are so proud to have Irish ancestry - get out there among some of the world's most spectacular scenery - experience the true Ireland. FEEL the refreshing cool Atlantic spray as you stroll along deserted magnificent West Coast beaches. TASTE how Guinness really is better at home as it's poured to perfection in a village pub. SMELL the beautiful sweet scent of smouldering peat fires as we wind our way along the unspoilt back roads of the rural Gaeltachts. HEAR the craic, legends and myths of a land once ruled by giants and warriors.

Our mission is to make you rave about Ireland - to feel it, live it and love it the way we do and to remember your time here as one of the best times of your life! So whether you're here for a few days, a few weeks or a few months, we'll make sure you get a tremendous insight into our country. Meet real local characters and discover what it means to us to be Irish. Even if we say so ourselves, we are the friendliest people on earth!

We'll show you what Ireland is famous for - unforgettable sights, stunning landscapes, vibrant pubs, traditional music & dancing - and we'll also show you the other side - the ancient Celtic and Pagan past, hidden graves of forgotten heroes, as well as taking the time to relax with a pint of the black stuff!

Shamrockin' Roads: You're guaranteed the best experiences in what are widely recognised as being the best, and most comfortable backpacker midi-coaches in the whole of Ireland - painted bright sunshine yellow to chase away the occasional summer clouds. Specially designed to get down our narrow winding roads, all have extra BIG windows to make sure you don't miss a thing, but still small enough to make sure you enjoy that Shamrockin' atmosphere we're famous for!

Shamrockin' Guides: All our guides are 100% Irish born, bred & buttered, full legends in their own right, full of stories and history and all living proof that kissing the Blarney Stone really does mean you will have the gift of the gab for the rest of your life!

Shamrockin' Reliability: We do NOT operate a minimum numbers policy so once you're booked you will travel - guaranteed! From the day we started we've NEVER cancelled a departure. Unlike other companies we NEVER mix our trips so - if you book a 3 day trip that's what you'll get, not half of a six day trip! So you want to explore Ireland and you want to do it right - whether you've got a weekend or a summer - The Shamrocker is for you.
