Our tour guide Paul S
Our tour guide Paul S, was amazing. Lots of knowledge, history with humour too. Several comfort breaks. Say Hairy Coos, bridges and did the cruise which was well worth it too. Time for Snacks and drinks along the way. Good value for money. Ken and Julie Drake

Paul S ….King of Scotland
Paul S. was not only a GREAT Driver he was very informative on Scottish History. His driving ability impressed me, as I am a retired Firefighter driving Fire Engines my whole life. His knowledge on History is Fantastic. and he is also a funny guy!!!!!What a GREAT 3days!!!!
As a tourist I noticed quite a few people in our group did not Tip, the driver. This is a Service Industry and true, you are not required to Tip, but you if your tour guide/ driver goes out of there for the tour group, do the Right Thing and show your appreciation by Tipping the Tour Guide/Driver. No, I am not a Tour Guide, I am a Retired Firefighter that is showing a little respect to people going out of their way. Just a suggestion.
A tour of a lifetime!
A tour of a lifetime for someone who loves Harry Potter and has dreamt of the Highlands!

The Hairy Coo tours are by far one of the best tours we have taken. It was so well organized from the moment we showed up until the end. Bob was our guide and bus driver which made our experience. He was so accommodating to all the customers. Plenty of bathroom breaks which has not always been the case on other tours. Lots of recommendations and sights on the way to each stop location.
Very highly recommended!
Took a tour with this company recently landing us to Glenfinnan and Glencoe all the while traveling through the Scottish Highlands. The bus was comfortable but I have to give proper props to our guide Marco who was the perfect blend of Scottish wittiness and knowledge: be it music, small tidbits of the places we were driving by, sports, history or culture he knew it all and was able to deliver his words in a very fun way making it quite enjoyable to listen to long winded history lessons. Taking nothing away from the views and the majesty of the Highlands but our guide was the true standout! Would definitely tour with them again if given the chance.
Beautiful views and interessting stories
11/10 definitely do it
It was great! Our Tour Guide Mari was the bomb! She had all the good stories and was really funny!
I absolutely loved the trip and it really didn’t feel like 12 hours at all. I would definitely recommend doing the tour and taking the time because the views, cows and stories are absolutely worth it.
10/10 tour, would absolutely recommend!
I absolutely loved my hairy-coo-tour! Mari was a wonderful tour guide and so knowledgeable. We got enough time at every stop to enjoy the sights (and cows, a personal highlight), as well as brilliant commentary from Mari about basically everything of interest we saw. The atmosphere with the other travelers was wonderful and everone was so nice. Mari also taught us a bit about Scottish history as well as some Scottish, which I really enjoyed. 10/10 will absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a brilliant day-tour and will do again when I come back!
