I absolutely hate buses but knew this was the only way for me to see what I wanted to see while in Scotland. My driver, Stephen, was an expert at maneuvering that big bus and even on the country roads... See more
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.

Tour was amazing executed by Fraser
Tour was amazing executed by Fraser. Very informative with a mixture of fun, there were so many places to see and Fraser made sure everyone would understand the destinations and designated times to be back as well as local recommendations. The bus was a smooth ride and I would definitely recommend this tour to family and friends when visiting Edinburgh and want a day getaway to the Highlands. 5/5 service, experience and sights ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Travel with elderly parents
We booked a trip with The Hairy Coo to visit the highlands with our parents. They enjoyed the trip and so did we.
Our guide Colin is hilarious and he’s tried his absolute best to make sure we understand his Scottish accent.
His driving is also steady and legit, we travelled through the narrow mountain roads without feeling nauseous, and could even fall asleep.
We saw Hairy Coo, like actual ones on the trip, which was a nice bonus! No sight of Nessie tho.

Beautiful Scotland Tour
Our Loch Ness, Glencoe & Scottish Highlands tour was amazing! The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and our driver/guide John G. was fantastic. He made the whole trip fun and interesting.
The combination of the music, landscapes, and Highland weather made the experience really special. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Scotland!

The driver guide Mari was great
Mari was entertaining, witty and drove confidently. The trip is great for seeing places far from Edinburgh in one day. Better description on frequency of breaks, availability of food, drinks along the way would have been nice prior to the trip. Would recommend others.
