Loch Ness Tours from Edinburgh

it was a memorable trip. Our driver John was energetic and friendly and he provided so much information which kept us awake whole tour. loved every moment of this. In future, i would just like to add that some rocking music needs to be played inside bus which prompts tourists to dance on groovy numbers.

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.

Very good tour in general, spectacular landscapes to take your breath away, but most of the time is spent inside the bus, understandable by the distance between round trip. A trip worth it to get to know the highlands and Loch Ness region. However, there are some points that are worth highlighting so that it can be improved, the "Lunch" that actually shouldn't even have that name, in fact is nothing more than "bread, ham and sauce" besides potato chips, should be informed better in the details, it is not worth taking this option. For the price you pay on the tour, at least they should offer water and they didn't even have that. Another thing that bothered me a lot was not being able to recline the seat, informed by the guide (so as not to disturb the colleague in the back). I've never seen a situation like this, I thought it left something to be desired due to the long journey. In the most worth it for the landscape and the place. And the option with cru

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.

Chris P was an amazing driver. He knows all about his country and history. His way to speak it is a lot of fun. This guy has a lot of humor. Be aware that the trip is rather long (500 km) but the good thing is you will see a great variation of the highland. Enjoy

Now every time I hear Bridge over troubled water I'll think of crossing the Forth bridge in Scotland. Because Brian knew what songs to play at the proper moments and is excellent at creating memories, his storytelling was exceptional. He has a way of rousing the crowd to make it an enthusiastic and enjoyable experience. Most notably he's a proud Scotsman and made me feel proud to be a MacDonald. It was evident that he is the right man for the job, enjoys himself and I highly recommend him as a tour guide. I hope he was appropriately tipped.

Rose the Perfect Guide! Although there is nothing perfect in this mortal world, Rose is an exception. She is a textbook example of how a guide should be; she was kind, considerate, and upbeat. I am astonished by her storytelling skills; she made it so enjoyable that I am sure nobody on the bus dozed off even for a minute. The tour was one of the few experiences I would remember for a long, long time; it was a perfect blend of sightseeing, history, cultural stories, and fun! If you are visiting Scotland for the first time, I would highly recommend doing this three-day tour to experience the highlands and Isle of Sky.

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!

I had this 3 day tour back in early July. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. As the only solo traveller on this trip I was offered the seat right at the front, allowing me to see more of the stunning views from there and back down. Each day was amazing and there was so much to see. The Scottish Highlands are truly a stunning part of the world. Our tour guide was Rose, who is an absolute phenomenon at storytelling and a PRO at driving, who made us all feel at ease on those narrow roads! I cannot recommend this trip enough! I'm already planning to A massive thank you to Rose! And to the Hairy Coo company for this amazing, unforgettable experience!

Our first time in Scotland and Edinburgh, what a wonderful experience. Pity it was only a 4 day visit as in hindsight, we could easily have spent a good two weeks there ; so much going on in Edinburgh, gourmet cuisines, Museums ( some free entry),beautiful architecture, Castles and an easy of getting around either by walking or public transport. Then the highlight of our visit, the Lock Ness, Glen COE and Highlands tour with Gary..our Driver and Guide who showed an exceptional knowledge of the History of places and peoples. This was a 12.5 hour round trip with lots of "pit" and photo opportunity stops. Gary kept us entertained throughout the journey with his commentaries and wit.

I really enjoyed whole trip. Our guide and driver was Brian. He was amazing and funny. He is a truly Scottish man and I am so happy that I met him. He told us many interesting legends and tales. We saw many wonderful places - for example Skye (such a beautiful island). I wish we had more time there. But I know I have to come back and visit this beautiful country again. Thank you Brian ✌

Great experience. Really knowledgeable and interesting guide. Couldn’t believe how much we learned and saw in the 12 hours. The rest stops are a bit limited food wise, so if you have any allergies or special dietary requirements definitely stock up before hand. If you don’t though, then you’ll find something easily at each place. Would recommend and do again. The day flew by.

Murray the driver was amazing the whole way through the trip. Telling us about all the things we passed as Joking as we went as well. The views are amazing. only thing we would have changed was the waiting around at Loch Ness as we didn't want to do the castle or boat trip and all there is is a shop and cafe. so entertaining yourself for an hour and a half was a bit tricky, but that's not Murrays fault. He was great. it was a lovely day out and worth the money

Please opt for Brian Smith, the best and the most entertaining tour guide. I enjoyed the tour most because of him. The tour has selected the best of places in the Highlands and Isle of Skye. No time is wasted and you get to cover as many places as possible. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone!

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.

We had a great time on our tour, saw so many beautiful areas of Scotland and had a good amount of time to look around at each place we stopped. Our guide Jamie was absolutely amazing! He had a wealth of knowledge about everything Scotland and kept us entertained with great stories and music. Definitely recommend this experience!

It was excellent. John, our guide, was amazing when he talks you can feel the passion about Scotland, his pride to be Scottish. He entertained us all day long with stories, legends and facts about the highlands and Scotland in general. I loved the experience

One of the most beautiful countries I ever been. The tour is espetacular, we went in October, and even with the close to bad weather, the landscape is amazing. The staff is helpful and the driver has all the historical points ready to tell. We learned a lot. I really recommend.

Saw a lot of the Scottish Highlands even in 12 hours, beautiful sceneries, informative and helpful driver who didn't speak too much or too little. I just wish we had more time to explore the loch area, we only had 60-70 minutes, and if you did the boat trip, you didn't have time to walk around the lake or the village after, or grab some local food, because you had to get back on the bus immediately. Also, instead of the many photo stops we took, I would put more frequent bathroom breaks. We only had 3 in 12 hours and they too were unevenly spread out.

Fabulous trip with a fabulous guide. Peter really knew his stuff and pointed out lots of interesting sights as well as providing us with different facts and knowledge about Scotland. The lochs were beautiful as were the highlands which we saw on the way. There were just the right about of stops for comfort breaks/ gift shop opportunities. All in all a brilliant trip!

In future, i would just like to add that some rocking music needs to be played inside bus which prompts tourists to dance on groovy numbers.
