Traveler reviews
Scottish Highlands was an unforgettable experience!
I had the pleasure of embarking on a 5-day tour of the Scottish Highlands, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience! Our guide, Fraser, was nothing short of fantastic! Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of the Highlands, but he also had a great sense of humor that kept the group entertained throughout the journey. His storytelling brought the landscapes to life and made every stop feel significant. The tour included visits to some of the most breathtaking places in Scotland. From the rugged mountains to serene lochs, each location was more beautiful than the last. The itinerary was well-planned, allowing us to explore a variety of sites without feeling rushed. Each day was packed with adventure, yet there was still enough time to relax and soak in the stunning views. Overall, this 5-day tour of the Scottish Highlands exceeded my expectations. The combination of an engaging guide, incredible scenery, and a thoughtfully crafted itinerary made for an enriching experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the beauty of Scotland!
5 day tour
What an incredible five days in the Scottish Highlands! Every day was unforgettable, from the breathtaking scenery of Glencoe and the Isle of Skye to learning about Scotland's fascinating history and meeting the Hairy Coos! Our guide, Fraser, made an amazing trip even better. He was friendly, knowledgeable and a fantastic storyteller. He also knew exactly where to stop for the best views! I couldn't recommend this company and the five day tour highly enough. If you're thinking about exploring the Scottish Highlands, this is absolutely the way to do it!
A perfect tour of Scotland
We had a truly great, funny, and very experienced tour guide named Ryan. He has extensive historical knowledge and knows how to package everything into very entertaining stories. On this trip, one sees so many interesting places and has wonderful experiences like feeding Hairy Coos, which one would never see alone. Everything is really perfectly organized, and Ryan adapts to all wishes and provides many good tips on-site.
Amazing Experience and Tour
We just finished our 5-day tour with The Hairy Coo and it was an incredible experience. We got to visit so many amazing places throughout the Highlands. We are from Mexico and were truly impressed by the service they provided, especially Ryan, who was our driver and took care of guiding us throughout this road trip and explaining every single place we visited — even the places we only passed by and didn’t stop at because they weren’t part of the tour. He also always recommended great food options in every place where we stayed overnight. He was extremely attentive to the whole group and very kind throughout the entire trip. If you will travel to Scotland and have the time take any tour with them please dont hesitate to consider it. Thanks Ryan and Hairy Coo Team, we really appreciate your service. Regards from México
Fun with Tom
