Scottish Castles Tours from Edinburgh

This tour was top notch. Our guide, Mia, was so knowledgeable and told us many stories along the way. She offered suggestions and was so pleasant. I would highly recommend this tour and company. Until next time!

My tour was given by Rose and it was incredible. Rose has a magical way of telling stories the passion she has for her country and heritage is infectious. She weaves you through a historical narrative that evokes pride, sorrow, humor and a belief in magic. In times when she is not talking you will still feel the love she has for Scotland in the musical buffet she has prepared for you to listen to as you are mesmerized by the Landscape. Rose also knows everyone/thing at all the stops (dogs, people, the best coffee, treats etc). Seeing the highlands through her eyes made the experience. Sincerest thanks for such an incredible three days.

Paul was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and funny! We are very happy with the tour.

It was a great day. Well planned too. We had plenty of time at each stop. Lizzie , our guide, was very informative on Scottish history and plenty of stories too. Wonderful day

Really great tour! Euan our tour guide was very well spoken and educated on Scottish history. The bus ride was a little long, but was well worth it because of the frequent outstanding stops for pictures and snacks. We spent the extra 20 quid for the Loch Ness boat tour and that was also well worth the cost.

We had a great time during our tour with Kirsty. She was an absolute hoot! Great tour, amazing vibes, interesting facts and top-shelf humor. Hats off to her for making it so interesting and amusing. 10/10 would recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

If you are have limited time in Edinburgh, don't want to trouble yourself with driving and love to hear stories about the highlands, then this is it! With no doubt, Steve is a wonderful person who have tons of knowledge and histories to share with you. Also, he's very funny, very Scottish, he said, I quote "know how to speak Gaelic". He also can point to you which shops sell the best chippy and bread! The only reason I wouldn't recommend this trip is if you have motion sickness because highlands can be a little snake pass. But hey! That's a thrill for some others ;)

It was absolutely amazing! Seeing the Highlands and Loch Ness was so impressive, the nature was breathtakingly beautiful. Throughout the tour on the bus was pleasant as well as Erin provided us with all sorts of interesting facts and explanations about the surroundings and history of Scotland. It was amazing! I would recommend to bring your own lunch as time flies by on the stops you make so you can spend the time on eating and enjoying the breaks instead of standingin the queue to get food. I would also make a visit to the toilet a priority at every stop as the other touring busses stop at the same places you'll often have to wait in line for things. I would definitely recommend this trip. Its nice to be out of the city if you go there for a week and because it has given our first stay in Scotland(Edinburgh) a way more complete view of this amazingly beautiful country!

Beautiful views, great guide Russel, very comfortable and safe transportation.

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!

This was a fun tour and great if you don’t have much time to fully visit the highlands. I would have liked more time at the viaduct and memorial, and at Glencoe, and less time at the shops/eating areas where there wasn’t much to do other than buy food or souvenirs.

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!

Amazing tour with our guide Bob today 24/10. He had really good curiosa and facts and was super nice. Gave us an amazing day. Could not recommend it further!!

It was FANTASTIC! Wear comfortable shoes (I bought sneakers with memory foam and it was a BLESSING) and dress warm (bring a sweater and a jacket; Isle of Skye is pretty chilly and you will see some FANTASTIC scenery throughout the trip, but a lot of it is at the top of hills and the wind isn't very forgiving) and you will enjoy yourself immensely! And if you can, request Brian Smith as your guide; you will NOT regret it. He will keep you so entertained that you will be sad when the trip is over. Genuinely friendly and hilarious; a perfect example of what I was hoping for in a Scottish man/guide =) As a proud lover of warm weather (and the U.S....most days), only Brian could have me strongly considering moving to Scotland. (I hope you are reading this Brian! It's Princess, and I wrote that last part just for you. =) )

John was the best tour guide! He is an incredible story teller, has an awesome playlist, excellent sense of humor, and extremely knowledgeable about Scotland. We were laughing within seconds of getting on the bus. It was the best three day trip. John is very helpful and a skilled bus driver too. I wish all my subsequent tours had been with John as well. #hairycoojohn The real king of the north. I loved the kilts. You set the bar high Sir. I’m so glad my first visit to Scotland and the highlands was with the best Scott.

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!!

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.

Martin is an outstanding tour guide. His knowledge and fun facts kept us in awe of his memory for details. He is a kind, fun, empathetic man who clearly enjoys his job and is a good driver too! I have been on many tours and this one has been a standout. Largely due to Martin! Thank you !

Had the best day. Our driver and tour guide Rob was fantastic. Rob was very informative and had many stories to tell. The beauty of the Scottish Highlands is so spectacular I will definitely be back again. Make sure you chose the boat cruise and visit the castle. Both are awesome. Cruising on Loch Ness was gorgeous and serene. The weather was perfect and stops along the way were also fabulous. Loved every minute.
