Highly recommended
We spent a long time on the road, but every minute was worth it. The journey was absolutely stunning, and our driver and guide, Brendan, was AMAZING. He was so entertaining and always willing to help, while at the same time explaining everything to us throughout the entire trip. A fantastic tour. We highly recommend it!

Our tour guide, Collin, was exceptionally nice, polite, and funny. His extensive knowledge of the sites we visited truly enhanced the experience. I highly recommend this tour!
What an amazing bus tour it has been!
What an amazing bus tour it has been!
Fraser told us so much interesting facts about the history of Scotland and its landmarks. Lots of humour all the way there and back, and even a poem recited - all that while driving the bus🤩 I admire this man 👏🏼
It was pure pleasure!💫
Strongly recommend it👍🏼

Amazing Tour with Fraser!!!
Classless?
Was stopped behind a Hairy Coo coach in Glencoe at traffic lights. We had been waiting a few minutes but suddenly a woman emerged from the bus and proceeded to urinate right in front of their bus and the passengers in my own vehicle. It was a disgusting sight and not something you want to see, especially in a beauty spot like Glencoe. There were public toilets just down the road and surely a grown woman can control herself for a few minutes. It's little wonder that locals are getting tired of the mass influx of tourists, some of which literally treat their home like a toilet. Hairy Coo should not be facilitating this.
Edit: the bus reg was SG25 AFE, name Maeve and date was 26/5/26. I initially contacted HC via their website but received no reply.
