10/10 tour, would absolutely recommend!
I absolutely loved my hairy-coo-tour! Mari was a wonderful tour guide and so knowledgeable. We got enough time at every stop to enjoy the sights (and cows, a personal highlight), as well as brilliant commentary from Mari about basically everything of interest we saw. The atmosphere with the other travelers was wonderful and everone was so nice. Mari also taught us a bit about Scottish history as well as some Scottish, which I really enjoyed. 10/10 will absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a brilliant day-tour and will do again when I come back!

Nous avons eu la chance de participer à ce tour avec Ross comme chauffeur et guide, et l’expérience a largement dépassé toutes nos attentes.
Avant le départ, j’étais un peu inquiet car c’était ma toute première expérience de ce type et je ne savais pas vraiment à quoi m’attendre. Finalement, dès les premiers instants, Ross a su nous mettre à l’aise grâce à son humour, sa bonne humeur communicative et son incroyable sens de l’animation. Il est non seulement très drôle et divertissant, mais aussi passionné par sa région et toujours prêt à partager anecdotes, histoire et conseils.
Le circuit était remarquablement complet. Nous avons découvert des paysages immenses, des contrées lointaines à couper le souffle et de nombreux endroits magnifiques que nous n’aurions jamais trouvés par nous-mêmes. Chaque arrêt semblait mieux que le précédent, et tout était parfaitement rythmé.
L’ambiance à bord était particulièrement conviviale. Ross a créé une atmosphère chaleureuse où tout le monde se sentait bienvenu, ce qui a rendu le voyage encore plus agréable. Le suivi, l’organisation et l’attention portée aux participants étaient également exemplaires.
Au final, nous n’avons eu d’autre choix que d’adorer cette aventure et de tomber sous le charme de ces terres extraordinaires. Un immense merci à Ross pour son professionnalisme, son humour et sa passion. Je recommande cette expérience sans la moindre hésitation.
5 étoiles, sans aucun doute !

We were fortunate enough to have Ross as both our driver and guide, and the experience exceeded every expectation we had.
Before the tour started, I was honestly a little nervous because it was my first time joining this kind of excursion and I wasn't sure what to expect. However, Ross immediately put everyone at ease with his fantastic sense of humor, infectious enthusiasm, and entertaining personality. He is not only incredibly funny and engaging, but also genuinely passionate about the places he shows you, sharing fascinating stories, history, and local insights throughout the journey.
The tour itself was exceptionally comprehensive. We explored vast and breathtaking landscapes, remote corners of Scotland, and countless incredible spots that we would never have discovered on our own. Every stop felt unique and memorable, and the itinerary was perfectly balanced from beginning to end.
The atmosphere on board was equally outstanding. Ross created a friendly and welcoming environment where everyone felt comfortable, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. The level of organization, communication, and care shown throughout the trip was excellent.
In the end, it was impossible not to fall in love with these magnificent lands and enjoy every moment of the adventure. A huge thank you to Ross for his professionalism, humor, and passion. I would recommend this tour to anyone without hesitation.
A well-deserved 5-star experience!
Amazing Highlands Tour
Very good tour around Glenfinnan, Glencoe, and every sight in the Highlands.
Jason made it extremely enjoyable, informative and lighthearted.
We would heavily recommend it again!
Five stars for an incredible day trip
Five stars for an incredible day trip! Michael was the ultimate guide—hilarious, insightful, and full of fascinating local history. The music choices were spot on and made the travel between stops so much fun. It felt less like a standard tour and more like an adventure with a knowledgeable friend. Highly recommend!

The only thing I would have appreciated was more time at the Glennfinnan stop, because that was for sure the most interesting part of the tour.

Tour was amazing executed by Fraser. Very informative with a mixture of fun, there were so many places to see and Fraser made sure everyone would understand the destinations and designated times to be back as well as local recommendations. The bus was a smooth ride and I would definitely recommend this tour to family and friends when visiting Edinburgh and want a day getaway to the Highlands. 5/5 service, experience and sights ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
