4.00On time, well organized. The excellent driver. The tour is beautiful. The lake cruise was worth it The catch is that our level of English is not good, and we have not been able to follow the explanations in the guide. It would have been appreciated some translation system (audio guide type) to have been able to find out everything that was telling.
Top!

5.00Beautiful discovery of Loch Lommond, its surroundings and picturesque villages without forgetting the Hairy Coo😉😁 John, our guide, was super welcoming and kind. Thanks again John! During the journey , we were enriching ourselves with his culture on the history of Scotland and exciting anecdotes . I also thank him for his safe and comfortable driving in his minibus.

5.00It was a wonderful tour! The guide will tell stories and shows the most wonderful places. Between the stories the guide plays matching music to the story or scenery. This is a must if you want to explore Scotland. There is enough time at each stop to go for a walk or shop. The tour includes places with not a lot of tourists which makes it less crowded, so you can enjoy the scenery and highlights in peace.
Hairy Coo up close

5.00This was an excellent tour John our guide was an amazing historian and educated our small group throughout the tour. Only 2 other people on tour and transport very clean and comfortable. My daughter was excited to spend time with the Hairy Coo and with such a small group experience very personal. Highly recommended tour.
Highly Recommend!

5.00Absolutely amazing trip! To escape the business of Edinburgh and enjoy the beautiful Highlands. Even you have the opportunity to go on the water by boat to go to Luss. The length of the tour was perfect. Jenny knows a lot about the history, I especially liked the story about the witchcrafts in Scotland. This is 100% recommended 👌
Must do tour
