Ivy D.
It was amazing, from beginning to end the sights were breathtaking and it almost felt like the weather was on our side because every time we stopped for pictures the sky would clear. Definitely recommend it! The tour guide was also excellent and told us all the story behind what we were seeing. I loved learning a bit more about Scotland’s history

We had a lovely time - the trip was very well organized. Our guide/driver Kristy (I hope I'm spelling her name right) did a phenomenal job with her excellent driving, great storytelling and overall nice personality. We'll definitely recommend this trip to our friends!

We had such a good time on our tour! Nick A. shared all of his superb knowledge of the history of Scotland! And of course his knowledge of Outlander! Playing the music on the way up the lane to Lollybroch made my wife’s day! Thank you it’s an adventure we won’t soon forget!

Rory was our tour guide and he was brilliant. Gave us loads of information and stories of the history of places as we passed them. He gave us plenty of time at each stop and kept us fully informed of where we were/going. He played some grate music and had some funny jokes. It was the best bus tour I've ever been on and I can't recommend him highly enough.

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.

A must-do! This is a packed day with a lot of time spent on the coach, but our guide, Erin, and driver, Shug, made the time fly by. In between playing music by Scottish and Gallic artists, to telling us facts about the area we drove through, the miles go by fast and the sights are amazing. Aside from the main attractions, the Kelpies, castles and lochs are an added bonus. Highly recommended!

This was the best trip of our 4 day stay in Edinburgh. Big shout out to Bryan Smith from The Hairy Coo. He was really funny and gave a really good commentary about Scottish history, which I liked. He made the trip very enjoyable, even getting the whole coach to sing. Big thank you from your London family including Moose, your wingman!!
