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.

We took a three day trip with Gary with hairy coo. Gary was the best. He had great stories and made extra stops that made the trip even better. When we stopped to see the hairy coos he had carrots for us to feed them. Thank you Gary we can’t wait to come back

Best Scottish experience with Marie

Before starting to describe all about this tour I would like say a big Thank you to Marie, she was amazing and made the experience unforgettable. I think without her wouldn’t have been the same cuz she told us all the details about the things we saw and described all the history behind the Scottish word. I loved her accent, and her sarcasm.
The trip was also wonderful with amazing landscapes and monuments in the middle of the nature.
If I will come back to Edinburgh I will for sure want to have again a tour with her.
Scottish are the best ❤️

Gary and Hairycoo’s are the best!

Gary and Hairycoo’s are the best! We booked a 3-day tour and loved every minute. Gary shared history of the various sites we visited, there were many, and kept us entertained throughout the trip with history and music, we couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide! We did a lot of research beforehand of the various companies and decided on Hairycoo’s - we’re very glad we chose them.

@michaelhairycoo Was a wonderful guide and could not recommend this tour and him enough. Fun day, great stops, and cool history shared with the group. Even stopped to see, feed and pet highland cows! We participated in the Glenfinnan Viaduct, Glencoe, & highlands tour from Edinburgh.
