Mari was an excellent driver and guide. The only thing I would have appreciated was more time at the Glennfinnan stop, because that was for sure the most interesting part of the tour.

Unique Tour Attractions With Great Photo Opportunities

Thanks Ben for taking us through some great sights around the surrounding towns of Edinburgh for the 1-Day Rosslyn Chapel, Wallace Monument & Dunfermline Abbey Tour. The locations on the tour was unique and loved the historic architecture of the chapels and abbeys, as well as your humour along the way. Would have loved to stop at the Kelpies too for the "secret stop" as mentioned on Getyourguide, but at least we did a drive by to see some of it.

If I capture Nessie, I'm retiring in the Scottish countryside

The ground crew directed us where we needed to be when we first arrived. Both the driver and tour guide were lovely. Our driver seemed confident behind the wheel which made us feel safe and comfortable.

Being an Edinburgh local our tour guide Ryan was knowledgeable and understanding of other cultures which seem to intermingle with Scottish history and his stories.

The man is very funny and entertaining, I didn't know I was booking a stand up comedian alongside my tour.

For being our first tour guided trip, my Partner and I would like to say cheers to the Hairy Coo Team.

Love from a Brisbane couple.

Fraser is cool

Amazing! Fraser (the tour guide) was super fun and cool. He told very great stories and I personally think he should be a storyteller or a stand-up comedian.

The rides were very fun and the place was cool

Daytrip Highlands

We went with Mari and Lucky up to Glenfinnan Viaduct through the Highlands. Though we spent most of the time in the bus, the travel was absolutely stunning and totally worth it! It was greatly organised and our both guides did a fantastic job with telling stories and entertaining us. The time flew by and we were back in Edinburgh with lots of great memories and impressions!
Thanks to the both of you!

A great view with a great guide.

I loved the guide (John G) he made the already great tour even better with good humor and a great taste in music where everyone had at least one good sing along moment.
The tour was long but John G came with good stories and funny comments and made everyone fell lighter.
He made sure everyone was happy and comfortable so we could enjoy the fantastic view over mountains and so many more beautiful things.

Very nice tour that shows you all…

Very nice tour that shows you all around the Highlands and the most famous points. If you’re a tourist you can’t miss the experience. Our driver Peter was the funniest and most interesting tour guide we could have ever asked for! He managed to keep the bus rides funny. He also has immaculate music taste😁
