5.00It was a long day but well worth it. Our second tour with Hairy Coo company and did not disappoint. Comfortable seats each with charging plugs. Our great driver/guide Ross did a great job showing us the island with some really tricky roads to maneuver! Such beautiful scenery and great stops for refreshments and breaks! Highly recommended!

5.00My daughter and I joined a group on a 3 day tour - we were there just for day 2 - the Driver/Guide John welcomed us (as did the others on the trip) - and off we went for a nearly 12 hour outing that, despite some messy weather, hit the exact mark for what we were hoping for - we learned a lot, John provided lots of context (and some humor), there was lots of time to just take in what we were seeing, and we still got 10k steps in at the various stops, plus a great meal in Portree - I can't recommend it enough, and I'd definitly do another tour w Hairy Coo next time I'm able!

Bus driver fail

2.00There were lots of issues with this tour. First, we didn't realize that we were joining on day 2 of a 3 day bus trip. We got on the bus early so we could get a good seat, but 2 minutes prior to the bus departing a family got on and wanted their seats from the day before. Secondly we wasted at least 50 minutes waiting for people throughout the day to get back on the bus after each stop. The bus driver should have nipped that in the bud the first time it happened. I have been on tours that people were left because they didn't show up back on the bus on time. This makes it very clear to everyone. Because of this we didn't get as much time on the second half of the trip to explore on our own where most of the beautiful scenery is located.

5.00Isle of Skye is beautiful and our driver Allen was super knowledgeable and friendly. A lot of things packed into a one day trip. On and off the bus frequently for quick stops- great if you are short on time. If you want to take your time with the views on isle of Skye do a longer trip!
