Amazing day tour with Fraser as our guide, would definitely book again!
What an incredible experience
What an incredible experience! Fraser our guide was so knowledgeable and witty. We loved every minute of it, definitely worth the day trip!
A great view with a great guide.
I loved the guide (John G) he made the already great tour even better with good humor and a great taste in music where everyone had at least one good sing along moment.
The tour was long but John G came with good stories and funny comments and made everyone fell lighter.
He made sure everyone was happy and comfortable so we could enjoy the fantastic view over mountains and so many more beautiful things.
Great journey
Tom was great. He was very friendly, considerate and dynamic. He told us a lot of historical stories and gave us some good advices for food. He also let us discovered a lot of scottish musics.
We loved to watch the harry Potter's train and to feed the hairy cows !

Very nice tour that shows you all around the Highlands and the most famous points. If you’re a tourist you can’t miss the experience. Our driver Peter was the funniest and most interesting tour guide we could have ever asked for! He managed to keep the bus rides funny. He also has immaculate music taste😁

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!
