Tour giornaliero a Loch Ness, alle Highlands e alla distilleria di whisky, partenza da Edimburgo

This was a great day trip with the Hairy Coo company. John the driver/tour guide was amazing and kept us informed about the local sights we were seeing and the history around them. Would thoroughly recommend this trip

John, King in the North, was a hilarious and knowledgeable guide! He should have his own comedy show! We were able to see the beauty of Scotland's Highlands, enjoy a cruise across the gorgeous Loch Ness, feed carrots to hairy coos, and stop for both much-needed bathroom breaks and photo spots!

Rose was outstanding and funny. She is actually a package of a good driver, story teller and a historian. She had planned the 12.30hrs/around 330 miles tour very conveniently and no rush at any spot. My wife and I had a great time seeing Deanston distillery, Highlands, Loch Ness cruise and beautiful Scotland. Definitely recommend this tour specially with Rose. Cheers!

My boyfriend and I took the single-day bus tour to Loch Ness. Along the way we made multiple stops at Doune Castle, a whiskey distillery, photo op at Glen Coe, and eventually made our way to Fort Augustus for a boat ride on Loch Ness. Words cannot describe the beauty! What made the trip a 12/10 was our driver (Calum) and tour guide (Brian, or Brizo) - the sheer amount of knowledge shared was astounding. We highly recommend this tour / tour guide!

if I would go again I would definitely ask for Rose :) she is excellent story teller, she knows history very well, very kind person always replies on the questions and gives info as much as possible.

We had SUCH a great time on this tour! We highly recommend it and Graham was such a great driver and kept us entertained the whole day with his stories and knowledge of Scotland. Scenery going through the Highlands was amazing!!!

I had a blast on the Hairy Coo tour to the Highlands! Our driver was John and he was absolutely hilarious the whole time. He kept the energy in the bus up at all times while he regaled us with stories about Scotland, its history, and his own experiences. The tour of the distillery was pretty cool though it would've been even cooler if they had actually been producing whisky when we went (it was the off season). The boat ride on Loch Ness are relaxing and you had enough time to walk around the town for a bit before as well. One of the highlights was the busaraoke (bus karaoke) in the afternoon while we were driving back to Edinburgh. It was a long day but really worth it and also had just the right amount of stops in between all the driving so you didn't feel too cooped up in the bus.

Great trip, perhaps a bit long but thanks to Brian, excellent guide and driver the tour got to be a success.

We had Martin knowledge and humor to make this 12 + hours tour an awesome experience. Highly recommended for those wanted to experience the Scottish highlands and don’t have too much time for it!

Incredible! The tour guide was so informative and friendly and knew so much about Scottish history. The Highlands were breathtaking, was really the highlight of our trip to Scotland.

John was an awesome tour guide - informative and funny. The trip is amazing, well worth the long day. Wont forget Johns great sense of humor - had us laughing all day. dontstopbelieving tablet buskaraoke

My friends and I had a lot of fun aboard the Hairy Coo Bus! Our tour guide, John, was very knowledgable and punctuated the ride with humorous, vivid, and detailed anecdotes about Scottish history and the sites we were seeing from the bus window. In between the storytelling, he played a custom playlist of Scottish artists, and sometimes included fun facts about the songs and artists we were hearing. The bus was not crowded which made it so that everyone was able to have a window seat and really enjoy the incredible scenery. After passing the massive Kelpie statues and the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots, we made our first stop at Deanston Distillery, which is in a pretty riverside location. On the tour, they showed us their massive mash tun, one of the only uncovered ones still in operation, where you could see giant agitators circulating the mash. We learned about the history of the distillery building, which was once a cotton mill, and more recently served as the setting for the film The Angel's Share. For 10, we got to taste two drams of whisky before getting back on the bus and driving to the Highlands. John warned us that we were about to cross the invisible line into the Highlands, but we had no idea that the scenery would change dramatically almost instantly. Suddenly there were snow-capped peaks and dramatic green valleys. We stopped to take pictures at Glen Coe, which is breathtakingly beautiful and was also extremely windy. We drove through Fort William, with great views of Ben Nevis, and past a series of majestic lochs, finally arriving at Fort Augustus, the quaint town at the base of Loch Ness. For 13, we were able to purchase tickets to cruise Loch Ness. The hour-long journey was aboard a boat with a small cafe counter where you could purchase snacks, tea, and beer. There was a roof deck with beautiful views of the loch and we saw mountain goats and deer walking on the steep hillside. Back inside on the lower level of the boat, one of the guides explained the sonar screens, where you can see the contours of the loch floor, more than 600 feet below. After the boat cruise, we had a little time to explore Fort Augustus and get a snack before boarding the bus and making a brief stop at the Commando Memorial, a striking WWI monument with stunning views of the Nevis Range all around. Our drive home took us through the Cairngorms, a national park with truly otherworldly scenery. A bubblegum-hued sunset descended, one of the most beautiful I have ever seen, as we learned about the history of the sites we passed, including Blair Castle and the Dalwhinnie Distillery. We made a brief stop in a small town called Pitlochry on the way back, where we were able to enjoy a local delight, Aberfeldy tablet. We arrived back in Edinburgh around 8:30 p.m. It was a long day but I felt like I truly got to see the greatest hits of the Highlands. If you are short on time, this is a great way to see the major sites in a day trip. One thing you should be aware of is that there is no bathroom on the bus, so plan accordingly there were well-spaced bathroom stops, which was appreciated!.

A wonderful day. It is a long one, but totally worth it for the beautiful scenery and experience.
