Stirling Castle Tours from Edinburgh

I had the most amazing time on this trip. I would recommend it to everyone. The best thing is that I had a driver named Ryan, who had amazing knowledge and provided 12.5 hours of pure energy and entertainment. Things to keep in mind, you will need cash for the boat ride (for me it was £16.50 for an adult, I think it was £11 for a child). You have plenty of time in the coach to relax and listen to the history of Scotland. I would definitely recommend bringing snacks and a mini picnic in case you get hungry, but I assure you there are plenty of places to get food in Loch Ness. There were plenty of stops to go to the toilet as well and the driver was very accommodating. Thank you Ryan for an amazing 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!

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.

This day trip absolutely fantastic! Our tour guide Scott was great, his stories were funny and informative and his music taste exquisite! It was a looong day spent in a bus, but the scenery behind the window was breathtaking. The stops we made were great and the views just gorgeous:) I also took the Loch Ness cruise, which was also fun! As a solo traveler 10/10 would recommend:)

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 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.

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.

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

A great way to see the highlands, entertaining stories about every point of interest on the way, well timed stops, breath taking scenery, discounted tickets for boat on Loch Ness, great recommendations where to eat and what to explore on stops. The mood on board was great, was a packed bus of happy people. My children are 8 & 9, they found it a long day, we all did but it was worth every minute.

The Experience was Phenomenal Marty was our Driver. So Kind, Passionate with an Absolute love for Scotland and the job to guide tourists to all the Beautiful Locations at hand. The Scenic beautiful sites and history are truly worth knowing about and experiencing first hand. Everything about this tour was beautiful and The Scots Sense of Humour Is hillarious. I would highly recommend this tour. Thanks to Marty the Scottish King

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 ✌

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!

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.

It was a long tour but with plenty of stopping (about every 2h on average). Scott was very energetic and had a lot of info to share. Great driver. Music playlist was great (please, share!). Phone chargers on the bus were not working. Glen Coe definitely worths a separate visit. Overall, it was great to get a glimpse of different parts of Scotland, including the Loch Ness.

My wife and I had such a wonderful time doing this tour. Well, aside from the obvious reason that the Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Skye is absolutely extraordinary-the views are just gorgeous, our tour guide, Steven made the experience even more memorable. With his stories, jokes, and his playlist, the experience was just memorable. There wasn't just a tour just like his. A little bit of warning though, if you're looking for a quiet tour, Steven is not for you. But if you're into listening to legends, myths, history and just plain fun and loud tour, you have to get him.
