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.

Thank you
Our driver/tour leader was outstanding - very human, humble, capable and still had the ability to do so while not interfering with the flow of the tour in any way. Amazing fun, imagination-capturing scenery, just the right amount of information to fill in the spaces - truly memorable.
Never stop doing what you do Johng

A tour full of highlights
We took a private tour to the Highlands. Hairy Coo Tours was willing to try to accommodate us with only 24 hours notice and actually came through. Don’t expect that, but it was nice of them to even try. Our Tour Guide was Peter Richardson and he showed up on time, in a meticulously clean vehicle and ready for the day.
We had a general itinerary but he was willing to accommodate changes throughout the day as we wanted to investigate different things. I felt like we had several different tours in one and saw far more of the highlands that we would have otherwise.
Peter’s knowledge of the area, the amenities to be found, the history and his general gift of the gab was appreciated and made the day fly by.
The flexible agenda, personalized attention and the ability to spend non standard amounts of time at any particular stop made a private tour for us more valuable than several bus tours. It can be pricey but for us was well worth it for the experience.

Great excursion today with Mari as our guide and Konrad as our driver. They were both very friendly, smiling, and in a great mood throughout the day, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Everything was well organized, and we got to see all the main highlights as planned. Thank you both for a wonderful experience!
