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.

It was such an amazing experience. Our tour guide Colin was the best! His storytelling was one of my favorite parts. His driving skills through the highlands was fantastic. My family and I felt very safe the whole time. Now to the best part the all the stops were breathtaking! So worth the trip.

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.

We’re so glad you managed to see the elusive hairy coos. We'll have words with Nessie for letting the side down and staying hidden!

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.

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.
