Scott is a rock star

This day trip is the highlight of my visit of Edinburgh. The host and bus driver, Scott, was super fun. This day trip experience far exceeded my expectations, the beauty of the landscape, Scott’s wonderful storytelling, great music, and everything else all worked to perfection. I’ll definitely book this tour again if I come back with family to Edinburgh.

Great tour with James

James was great! He was engaging and fun. Full of knowledge and experience about the sites. He could shift down a gear when walking, he was so fast and we're not all as fit as he is. Great tour, well presented and very interesting. Thanks James, you're a star. A speedy star but great all the same :)

I Highly Recommend the Edinburgh Castle and Royal Mile Walking Tour

Hubby and I went on the Edinburgh Castle and Royal Mile Walking Tour. We both fell in love with Edinburgh, and the walking tour -- with our very knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide RORY -- made us love this city even more! Rory let us get acquainted with Edinburgh and entertained all our questions about this charming city. As an added treat, he got us to Edinburgh Castle just in time to hear the 1:00pm cannon. I highly recommend this tour!

100% recommend!

I travelled with friends in 27th October. The highlands of Scotland are amazing! It was windy and raining on and off however this didn’t make the experience any less enjoyable. Our tour guide Jason was brilliant and provided lots of information and stories throughout the tour. I would absolutely do this tour again, and others that The Hairy Coo provide too, especially if Jason was the tour guide again. Thank you for a memorable experience!
