This was such a fun tour!! So many beautiful stops. Our tour guide Lucky made the early mornings and long bus rides so much easier with his amazing stories, fun facts and Scottish playlist (especially loved the bagpipe version of Everybody Dance Now). He added lots of fun, unofficial stops for us to take photos, meet some hairy coos and even to try some Highland river water!! Would absolutely recommend for anyone who wants to see the Highlands :)

Great day with Alan driving and Frazer doing commentary. Frazer knows his history and interacts with people on board. We were blessed with the weather and plenty of opportunities for photos

We had an amazing day trip with Stewart H. (Aka Hammy) today. If you’re going to Scotland and want to see some amazing sights, learn something about the place, and be safely driven from spot to spot in comfort and safety - this is the trip. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely amazing tour. We did the 3 x day tour upto Inverness and Isle of Skye. Our tour leader/driver, Lucky, was absolutely amazing, his stories and knowledge of Scottish history made the trip. Patting Hairy 'Coos', cruising Loch Ness and all the small extra stops were brilliant. Thank you Lucky for making our visit to Scotland so memorable. Highly recommend.

Me and my wife went on the tour to Loch Ness today. Ryan was our driver and guide and was absolutely fantastic. From the minute we got on the bus until our departure he told us stories and facts related to every location we visited or passed including local history and legends. The tour was excellent and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable day out when visiting Edinburgh.

I booked a tour for my partners birthday while visiting from Vancouver, and it was a once in a lifetime experience! We had the pleasure of having Fraser as our guide, he was knowledgeable and enthusiastic the entire time. There were multiple stops where we could walk around, visit local businesses, take pictures, visit memorials, and even an optional boat tour on Loch Ness!! I would highly recommend going along with Fraser if you are interested in seeing some real Scottish history with some lighthearted entertainment too! This was definitely crossed off my bucket list :) thanks Hairy Coo!

I had a great and beautiful day trip out to Loch Ness and Glencoe. Very happy with the guide I had, Freezer, he was so informative about Scottish history and told us the beautiful and terrible story of William Wallace and Braveheart.

We were unable to travel due to an illness and had to cancel the day before departure. I called to request a refund. They said that normally they would make an exception but redirected me to address it with Booking.com, as I made the reservation through them. Booking.com then told me I needed approval from Hairy Coo for the refund. After an hour spent on emails and calls with Booking.com, Hairy Coo changed their mind and said they couldn't offer a refund as it was outside the free cancellation period. Fair enough, but they could have spared me the back and forth and told me that from the beginning rather than passing the ball to each other. After all, the bus was not fully booked, and they don't lose any money, but we lost 130 euros and an hour of my time in useless exchanges. Also note that you spend 7-8 hours out of the 12.5-hour journey on the bus, something they are not being transparent about in the description. It would be a total disaster to travel when you are not 100% okay healthwise.

I had the best tour with Allan. Allan is an amazing, knowledgeable, and humourous tour guide. The tour is fantastic. It was more than 12 hours length and 500 km drive with spectacular views.

We had an absolutely fantastic time on our Highlands tour with Allan! He was an incredible guide! Knowledgeable, charismatic, and full of great stories that brought Scotland’s history and landscapes to life. His humor and passion made the journey even more enjoyable, and he went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. The breathtaking views, the fascinating insights, and Allan’s infectious enthusiasm made this tour one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend!

We had an AMAZING time with the Hairy Coo! We visited the Scottish Highlands, Glencoe, and Loch Ness on our tour- all of which are breath taking sites. Our guides, Allan and Rod, made our tour so special. They are both very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. In addition to this, they are so fun and have great senses of humor! We laughed as much as we learned on our tour. We are so grateful for this incredible experience and our time in beautiful Scotland! Our only regret is not getting an address to send Allan and Rod some Indiana whiskey! Thank you Hairy Coo, Allan, and Rod for memories we will cherish forever. Much love from Indiana, USA 🇺🇸 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Without exaggeration, the tour with Hairy Coo was the best I’ve ever attended. Fraser was fantastic—knowledgeable, funny, and engaging. I still remember all the details from his tour, including the years he mentioned. He is truly made for this job, and I will happily recommend your company to everyone. We enjoyed every part of the tour!

We saw a lot of beautiful Scotland and learned a lot from our guide, Dave. He was a safe driver, great storyteller and nice man! The day to the Isle of Skye is long (but worth it if you only have a few days, as we did) and it’s a good idea to check each morning re food stops, as they (understandably) need to change each day for the itinerary but, overall, a special experience with some unforgettable memories for me and my son. Thanks, Dave!
