Our tour guide and driver, Craig, was the highlight of our trip. He was very funny and knowledgeable. He always kept things interesting, even when the weather limited our ability to enjoy some of the stops. Regarding the itinerary, it would have been great if we could have gone into one of the castles we saw along the way. Especially given the weather, it would have been a great indoors activity. It's a good tour to get a taste and glimpse of the highlands and isle of skye.

⸻ I recently completed a three-day Highlands tour with Craig, and it was outstanding from start to finish. Craig was incredibly informative, blending deep local knowledge with a great sense of humour that made every stop engaging and memorable. His warm, welcoming approach created a relaxed atmosphere, and he consistently went the extra mile to ensure we experienced the very best of the region without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. A truly exceptional guide who delivers an unforgettable Highlands adventure. Highly recommended.

We had a great time being chauffeured three days to Inverness and the Isle of Skye. We haven’t had the best weather conditions, but our Driver Craig compensated it with his bright and funny personality. He always had helpful advice for all questions and lots of entertaining stories. Although the seats in the bus were quite narrow, we had enough space because not all seats were occupied. All in all we had a great time, the trip was definitely worth the money.

Such an amazing experience. It wouldn’t have been the same without Louise our tour guide! She literally made it extra special. The whole group was such a bunch of amazing people we had the best time so fun, not to many on the bus so we were a tight group, we went to great places but i would have loved if we added more iconic stops or we actually visit attractions like castles as I was sad we only take pictures from outside rather than actually visiting. The drive wasnt too bad bcuz Louise was always informing us with information and stories. I think on the last day it could be better with giving options to visit other stuff other than the colladan battlefield some people are interested in more site or museums or old buildings and towns rather than a historical battle ground. But honestly it was an amazing time and love Louise she the best and such a lovely human!

I recently joined the 3-Day Isle of Skye, Inverness & Highlands Tour, with Louise was our exceptional guide and driver. Louise was spirited, energetic, and created a warm, inclusive atmosphere throughout the trip. Her knowledge of Scottish history was outstanding, and her driving skills were equally impressive. I appreciated her thoughtful check-ins, great food recommendations, and the way she took us off the beaten path. I also met some wonderful fellow passengers. Thank you to Louise and the group for making this a truly memorable experience.

We were able to see so many things in the Scottish Highlands and learn about the history of these places during this 3-day trip. Our guide-driver was Craig and we really couldn't have had a better guide. He was an extremely careful driver, knew so many things and stories and always cared about our comfort and safety. We definitely recommend this tour!

Had a great time with The Hairy Coo for the 3 day trip to the Highlands and Isle of Skye. Paul S. And Gary were our tour guides and they were amazing and very attentive. The bus ride was very comfortable and the landscapes were spectacular. I'm definitely coming back and I'd strongly recommend them to anyone who likes adventures mixed with fun and a tremendous amount of history talks and information.

A wonderful three-day stay in Scotland. Garry and Paul S our guides, were friendly, and passionate. Special mention to Gary who was very gentle and considerate (giving us a lot of treats). We had a great time and took some amazing photos. I highly recommend this experience! Cheers from Bordeaux (& Brittany) 😄
