The places we stopped for sightseeing…
The places we stopped for sightseeing were gorgeous. Our tour guide was an amazing story teller who entertained us with the history of Scotland and Scottish music throughout the journey.
This trip was amazing!
This trip was amazing!! John G was an amazing tour guide with a rich knowledge of Scotland ranging from Tudor and clan history to modern history. He was very friendly and tried to make the bus rides as fun and interesting as possible. Would highly recommend this tour!!!

Super Peter
Peter was fantastic, he entertained us with funny and interesting anecdotes. The most beautiful thing was his music and a story for each of them. He was very helpful and also made us play some funny games. Super Peter 🫶🏻
Would not prefer this company
We did not reach on time for the Loch Ness cruise., A/C wasn’t working. We are extremely fluent in English, we could not make head or tail of the driver’s commentary, who was apparently the guide. It was extremely disappointing experience on a holiday with the family
3-day tour to the Isle of Skye and the Highlands
Our 3-day tour to the Isle of Skye and the Highlands exceeded all of our expectations! Ian was wonderful with his stories, jokes, and great suggestions throughout the trip. We had an amazing time!
1-Day Glenfinnan, Glencoe and Scottish Highlands
We had an unforgettable experience on the 1-Day Glenfinnan, Glencoe and Scottish Highlands tour with Hairy Coo. The entire day was incredibly well organised, and every stop was absolutely stunning.
The highlight was, of course, seeing the Glenfinnan Viaduct and watching the Jacobite steam train pass through such spectacular scenery. Glencoe and the Scottish Highlands were equally breathtaking, with plenty of opportunities to take photos and enjoy the views.
A huge thank you to our guide, Bob, who made the trip truly special. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and had a fantastic sense of humour. His stories about Scotland’s history, legends, and local culture kept us entertained throughout the journey, and his enthusiasm made the experience even more memorable.
I highly recommend Hairy Coo to anyone looking to explore the Scottish Highlands. It’s excellent value for money, professionally run, and a wonderful way to experience some of Scotland’s most iconic landscapes. Thanks again to Bob and the Hairy Coo team for an amazing day—we’ll definitely be back for another tour!
Great tour highly recommended this…
Great tour highly recommended this company. John G was an excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable
3 Day Highlands and Isle of Skye Tour from Edinburgh
This was my second highlands tour but my first with the Hairy Coo and with Ross and while I thought I knew what we’d be getting into, I was not prepared for the absolute hospitality, knowledge, humor, and kindness provided by our guide. Ross was amazing, regaling us with stories of Scottish history in an easy to understand manner while keeping us all interested and entertained. I honestly couldn’t have imagined a better tour or a better guide. I know when I come back to Scotland in the near future, I’ll be reaching out to The Hairy Coo and Ross for a private tour! Would HIGHLY recommend this company and especially, Ross, if you find yourself wanting to go on a highland tour during your time in Scotland!
Exceptional graduation trip to the highlands
My friends and I really enjoyed the 3-day Isle of Skye, Inverness and Highlands tour that we took in April. Louise was an exceptional guide and driver, sharing many interesting fairy tales with us and making the trip even more whimsical with her selection of Scottish music. I really loved how she added some stops that were not part of the itinerary (eg. some waterfall with black rocks) and would take the effort to engage us in conversation. Despite the long journey, Louise always greeted us with a huge smile and even drove around a town a few times to look for a missing passenger. I have been highly recommending this tour to all my non-driver friends as it gives a really good taste of what the Scottish highlands has to offer!
