Our tour guide Lucky was very friendly and funny, and made our first tour experience very fun.
He was knowledgeable and organised the day well despite the dodgy tide times.

We had a great time and learned a lot from our fabulous, engaging, and knowledgeable tour guide Lucky. The motorcoach was comfortable, and the selected sites were lovely. There was ample time to explore Alnwick Castle. We enjoyed the whole experience.

We enjoyed the Tour with Michel and Lucky a lot. They managed to give us always the right amount of time at every stop.
Michel explained the most important History facts and some differences between England and Scotland as we cross the border.😁
Lucky drove very good and both had a fine sense of humor.
Thank you so much!! Highly recommended Tour.

From Edinburgh to the Kelpies, Stirling castle and loch Lomond . Our multitask driver Fredy was a professional , including the explanatory notes and even the so Scottish playlist. The venues were so interesting, the way itself was in a beautiful scenery, the drive was comfortable. All together it was a perfect tour.

Had an amazing trip. Rose was full of great stories and information to keep us occupied on the tour. Alnwick Castle is fantastic. As Harry Potter fans we loved the magical activities but plenty to do without being a H.P fan. My 10 year old absolutely loved the whole experience. Would definitely recommend and do it again.

On Monday 8/15 I and my university group took a HairyCoo one day tour to Stirling and Doune Castles and the lower highlands,on a typically Misty Scottish day, with our expert and engaging guide Stephen. The tour and Stephen’s hosting of it were a delight from beginning to end - stephen was enlightening about all things Scottish, from history to vocabulary, to the modern Scottish view of the world, a refreshing host who helped us feel at home, gave us excellent recommendations, and allowed us to feel we knew as much of Scottish history and culture as can be had in one wonderful day. I recommend HairyCoo tours generally, and Stephen in particular, for any amount of time you might be so fortunate to spend in Edinburgh and the surrounding vicinity.
