So so good! I was not expecting tbe scenery to be as beautiful as it was, but my mind was absolutely blown by the landscape and how breathtaking it was. ILouise was our guide and she was also so so good. We were able to see so much with her and her positive attitude made the trip especially enjoyable. I would 1000% recommend doing this tour. The individual days were nice, but I’m so glad to have had three days because you’re seeing a lot and that can be overwhelming all in one day.
I’m so glad I chose the 3-days tour of the highlands with Hairy Coo! Two must-sees for me on this trip is GlenFinnan Viaduct and Skye and when I did my research I found that a lot of the other 3-days tours only go to one or the other and that’s why I decided to go with this tour! Louis was our tour guide and she was fantastic! She is very knowledgeable about the histories of this beautiful country as well as specific places we were at. She listened to our opinions and catered to our interests. And she’s really fun! I also think it’s important to know that the point of 3-days tour is to just see the Highlands as a whole so you’re not going to get to spend a lot of time at one place since 3 days is not much time. So as long as you go with the right mindset, I think you’ll enjoy it!
First time here in Scotland and decided to choose The Hairy Coo tours 3 day tour to experience the country. Louise our guide made the experience super enjoyable, she’s was engaging and super friendly as well as knowledgeable with the facts and history of the sites. Although there was an itinerary there was also lots of flexibility in choosing locations to visit and each location provided a good insight of what Scotland had to offer. The size of the tours were also perfect and was a great way to mingle and meet new people. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Scotland !!! Great experience.
We went on the Glenfinnan tour yesterday with our driver Dave. It was my Dutch in-laws (80 years old) first holiday trip in many years so we wanted to do something with them they wouldn't forget. I looked through many different tours and this one stood out for my wife and I, it had everything we needed. Dave was a star, his knowledge of Scottish history was excellent, he had countless stories of our bloody history, from Mary Queen of Scots to William Wallace, Robert the Bruce and our massive witch problems back in medieval times. Od you are a Harry Potter fan this is the tour for you and there is also a bit of James Bond in it as well. This tour has plenty of stops all well spaced so a toilet was never far away so don't let that stop you from going if you are worried about getting caught short!!!! The buses used are immaculate, well kept, clean and tidy. I loved the stop ro feed the Highland cows. Beautiful animals and seemed happy to see people......or was it the food they were about to get 😁. Dave like I said was excellent kept as best he could to his schedule even though a few passagiers didn't return at the correct time. If you take this tour or any other your help Dave and his colleagues keep to their driving time. All you have to do is return to the bus at the time they ask you. Yiu have plenty of time at each stop. A big thanks to The Hairy Coo and Dave for a great day out.
We took the Loch Ness Hairy Coo bus tour with Paul S. as our driver, and it was absolutely fantastic! Paul shared fascinating history and fun facts throughout the trip, all while keeping the mood lively with a great Scottish playlist. He made sure everyone on board was comfortable and really helped make our short stay in Scotland memorable. We got to experience so much stunning scenery, nature, and history — just no Loch Ness monster sightings! The optional boat tour was super easy to arrange too; Paul handled everything, and we just needed €21 in cash for the ticket. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a fun and scenic day trip!
Super fun! Loved that it was not the 12 hour tour - 6.5 was plenty. Bruce was fun and knowledgeable, made the trip entertaining and educational. Felt safe in the smaller coach and loved the smaller group size. Loch Katrine was beautiful, loved the lunch spot and the Hairy Coo Honey!
What a great experience! Except for someone who thought our seats were better after our first stop, I will recommend this day trip to everyone! Ross was great and funny!
Ross was a great guide! He was funny and his stories were interesting. I definitely liked the smaller group with the smaller bus. Getting to feed the highland cows was such a big highlight!
Ross was an amazing guide. He shared historical stories with a good mixture of humorous quips. Very informative and entertaining! This tour is most definitely worth attending.
