Edinburgh Tours & Excursions

It was a rainy day but our driver was so interesting and told us about extra details along the route to Glencoe and Loch Ness. The only challenge was we had inconsiderate other riders who talked the whole way making it difficult for some of us to hear him. I don’t think he could hear them, but maybe drivers could just remind bus riders to consider others if they wish to converse. I moved to the back of the bus behind the rude passengers where I could hear his comments/answers better.

The tour was amazing, we were lucky enough to travel with William as our guide who was simply brilliant. He taught us so much about the history of Scotland throughout the day and I'm pretty sure he's also a comedian as he kept us laughing from start to finish. The only thing I would change is that it would have been nicer to have more time at Glen Coe and less at one of the other stop off breaks, otherwise perfect! Great way to see the sights and learn at the same time. Would 100% recommend to all.

A great day despite one castle not bejng accessible on the day. Eric was an amazing guide; personable, funny and very knowledgeable about Scottish history. Would recommend the trip to all Outlander fans and also those interested in castles in general. As a note the tea-room in Culross needs a mention. At the end of a cold day this unpretentious little place offered the best cheese scones and coffee we've tasted in the UK by far. Thanks for a grand day!

Absolutely incredible experience. This tour was everything we were looking for and more. George was a true gentleman, entertainer and warm guide throughout. It really felt like a road trip with a friend, and we loved George's constant grandad jokes! We will definitely ask for George next time we visit Scotland!

This was a wonderful experience and people who come to visit Scotland should definitely take the hairyCoo three day tour with Brian Smith. You will be totally entertained and feel comfortable by his stories and knowledge about Scotland. He did a wonderful job showing us great spots in the Highlands.

It’s amazing tour Steve was great, he is funny and also he’s a good driver, he told great stories during the trip and played music a long the way, he’s makes the tour very entertaining and not boaring. The scenery was spectacular even though the weather was cloudy. It’s perfect tour to see Scotland nature

This was my favorite tour that I took while in Edinburgh. Pete was a fantastic tour guide. He was funny and had an awesome playlist. He told us lots of great information that we hadn’t heard yet. There were plenty of stops for bathrooms and snacks. He recommended a great place for lunch and even threw in an extra surprise stop. I can’t recommend this tour enough.

As a fan out of Outlander, I loved this! Got to see much and Brandon was funny and chatty which I appreciate. He fed us with interesting facts along the way and would definitely consider doing this again whenever my next Edinburgh trip is!

Best Harry Potter Tour Ever! OMG! This was absolutely the most wonderful time! Jackson is hands down the best guide I’ve ever met — an endless source of fun facts, humor, and pure passion for the world of Harry Potter. You just can’t resist his energy! Massive shout-out to our amazing Slytherin guide, Jackson 🐍💚 Aside from the magic of the tour, Edinburgh itself is breathtaking — it’s impossible not to fall in love with this city. And discovering all the Harry Potter history woven through its streets (after all, it is the birthplace of HP!) makes it a total dream for Potterheads. 10/10 would do it again! ⚡️🏰✨

My sister and I really enjoyed this trip. We knew beforehand that it was a long drive and that most of the time would be spent on the bus so that wasn’t a surprise. Of course we wished we had more time for pictures or more stops in the highlands of Scotland, but for a day trip it was amazing. Our guid and driver, Peter, was amazing, he had lots of useful information (historical, geographical, technical, fun facts) and he even played some scottish music for us. For lunch we went to the Bridge Cafe, the food there is amazing, perfect comfort food. We had the leek and potatos soup and it was just what we needed as we watched the drizzle outside. Loch Ness has a breathtaking view, we could not make ourselves leave the place. We are so glad we decided to choose this trip.

Scott is a great guide - really personable and nice and had a lot of knowledge of the area. We really enjoyed the tour - despite no restroom on board there were a lot of rest stops. We got sandwiches in Callander that lasted us the whole trip and enjoyed sweet treats in Port Augustus and Pitlochry. I was nervous about going on the Loch Ness cruise but it was so calm that I didn’t get boat sick at all! Well worth it for a day trip to the Highlands!

As a huge Outlander fan, obviously the best stop was Midhope Castle (Lallybroch)! Our tour guide was Bob and he was a delight with his humour sprinkle on all the historic info he would share across all our stops during the day.

Exciting and beautiful bus tour…. Also great for non Outlander fan..... Lallybroch was ok..... Not much to see. Blackness Castle is absolutely great... Culross is super small but nice - beautiful for a walk... Doune Castle with an audio guide is interesting. linlitgowth-Castler unfortunately closed, but still nice to look at from the outside. Tour highly recommended. Our tour guide Jan was very friendly and told interesting stories... Everything was perfect

Everything was great, we had Jonas as a tour guide, very happy with everything. Definitely recommend

Loved the tour. Our guide, Paul, was so helpful and made sure everybody enjoyed the tour. I really liked that we learned about Harry Potter world inspirations and also got to learn the history and fun facts about Edinburgh. Would definately recommend this tour and Paul the guide!

Steven and Tony were a phenomenal duo for this tour. Either one of them would have made this a memorable experience, and I will be sure to recommend The Hair Coo to anyone I know is coming to Scotland. If I only had three days here, none of it would feel wasted if all I did was the three day tour. There's just so much to experience between Stevens stories, the sites to visit, and the towns to explore.

A great trip that is definitely worth going on. Breathtaking views, fantastic guide. Very sociable, he had a lot of funny jokes in his party, but also stories about the area told in an interesting way, there was also some Scottish music on the board of the bus. Great atmosphere. Only the stops could be slightly longer in one place and shorter in another.

Absolutely lovely day! Andy was a great guy, very kind, a good sense of humour & pleasant company! Thank you so much Andy! What a beautiful day around key places of the Outlander show. The pace was perfect with lots of time to see. Never felt rushed, a good balance between being guided & having free time! Highly recommended even if you are not an Outlander nerd, those places are stunning & worth being seen!

Amazing tour. We only had two days in town and were so happy to spend one of them on this. From the begining it was calm and welcoming, with extremely knowledgable and authentic staff. It never felt "touristy", due to our small group of 8 people and our amazing guide Graham , who was so great. He told us so much about the history, geology, culture, arts, and played well selected music along the route. Perfectly timed stops and lengths of driving in between, so it never felt rushed or boring. 9 hours went by quickly, but was genereally a great length. Would 100% go for a Rabbies tour again, could not recommend enough!

Even though I normally don't like tours, this one was superb! Rose is a fantastic storyteller--very well read, knowledgeable and articulate. She will make you want to read up on Scottish history and Celtic myths. She catered to everyone's needs and made the whole experience extremely interesting. She took us to very nice stops with good food on the way. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in an unforgettable travel experience! Bravo, Rose!!!
