The experience was amazing

The experience was amazing. Cannot wish more than what we have. Amazing tour itinerary and our driver Ms Lou was the best. She knows a lot about Scotland History and give us a lot of knowledge and stories to really appreciate the tour. And the Coos are the cutest. Highly recommended you will not get disappointed.

A tour full of highlights

We took a private tour to the Highlands. Hairy Coo Tours was willing to try to accommodate us with only 24 hours notice and actually came through. Don’t expect that, but it was nice of them to even try. Our Tour Guide was Peter Richardson and he showed up on time, in a meticulously clean vehicle and ready for the day.
We had a general itinerary but he was willing to accommodate changes throughout the day as we wanted to investigate different things. I felt like we had several different tours in one and saw far more of the highlands that we would have otherwise.
Peter’s knowledge of the area, the amenities to be found, the history and his general gift of the gab was appreciated and made the day fly by.
The flexible agenda, personalized attention and the ability to spend non standard amounts of time at any particular stop made a private tour for us more valuable than several bus tours. It can be pricey but for us was well worth it for the experience.

Great excursion today with Mari as our guide and Konrad as our driver. They were both very friendly, smiling, and in a great mood throughout the day, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Louis was a great guide

Louis was a great guide, she played music and taught history throughout! She shared history about everywhere we went and passed. Jim from Ratho coaches was a brilliant driver and ensured a safe journey and allowed us to see some brilliant views and got us to some very difficult areas!

Hairy Coo Experience

John G. was an amazing tour guide with humor and made the experience fun. He knew a lot of history and knowledge of Scotland, and would provide excellent advice with each stops we stopped at. I would recommend him to see Glenfinnan, Glencoe and Scottish
Highlands to anyone visiting Scotland.
