We saw so much of Scotland from Isle of Skye, Doune Castle, Three Sisters Mountains, Glencoe, Ben Nevis, Glenfinnan Viaduct, Loch Ness, Blair Athol Distillery and Urquhart Castle. I learned so much about Scotland.
Our tour guide/bus driver Brian Smith was so amazing. He is a great story teller and kept us laughing with his whit. He added so much to the trip.
I will definitely be returning with my husband and sharing this great experience with him.
Thanks for an amazing time,

We actually can’t put into words what a great day we had.

A big concern for us were how many stops did it have, that’s mainly why we chose a free tour because we read in many other companies that most of the time you’re on the bus. Forget about it, Colin took us to many great places and we made many stops plenty of them with toilets available and the best views.

Even though it was a post flood day and most of the coos weren’t there (you can’t blame the company) it was a great day and we got to see some of them!

Definitely recommend and will come back to take the rest of the tour with The Hairy Coo.

Thank you Colin (muchas gracias), the crazy Argentinians! read less

The tour took place in January and was beyond frigid, however all the warmth our group could’ve needed came from our guide Stephen. He is a beacon of knowledge, altruism, and mirth. Not only is he all of those things, but he transcends them and eclipses our hearts and of course our journey as we trek around Scotland. Every stop was meaningful and a moment of exploration. Stephen is so well versed in the rich history and shared stories of differing levels of comedy, drama, and tragedy. He was incredibly perceptive to our needs and knew when to let us rest or lead us through trials of river dwellers, murderers, and the like. Stephen is not only a champion in sarcasm and comedy, but also selfless and hospitable. He showed us the legendary monuments and the ones we weren’t aware of but then became our favorites. The local spots he took us to for meals proved his behavior isn’t skin deep. Every place we went he was greeted with affection and elation. One of the most memorable moments was when he shared his fried black pudding with us. I believe he would give someone the shirt of his back if they asked. Continuing, Stephen is a free spirit, an inspiration, and a downright lovely person. We trusted him up steep climbs and while dunking our facing in freezing water (he would not call them steep haha). I never doubted his abilities. I’ll never forget my time with him. Thank you, Stephen. I hope you and your family are well and I wish you the best of luck!! (I would walk 500 miles to see him again. I probably wouldn’t, but it’s a nice sentiment lol) He'll most likely dislike how sweet this is, but it's supposed to be silly so get over it! read less

We Didn't get to explore as much as we would have liked, but we only had so much time. Scott had a play list that fit or trip and kept us entertained. The tour bus size was good too. The only complaint is that the bank of the bus is 10 degrees colder than the front, so we froze in the back. Have an extra sweatshirt with you. read less
