Best way to explore the nature in Scotland

A great experience for nature lovers in Scotland. Frasier our tour guide was a wonderful guide and added a lot to our enjoyable time there.

Fast but more comprehensive intro to scotland

The five day tour was a great introduction to the Scottish Highlands, covering a large amount of territory (i heard over 900 driven miles). You get to spend time in a “larger” city (Inverness) as well as some small villages (eg. oban). As a small group tour you can get more personalized feel and this is one reason i love Harry Coo tours. We went to some amazing places such as the Quiraing (which for us seriously needed another 1.5 hours!). The tour blended Scottish history with nature, so you did get opportunities to walk as well as learn. The only thing that could make it better would be to make it seven days to allow even more time at some locations!

Book it, you will not be disappointed!

This tour was brilliant, we managed to see so much of Scotland in 5 days! We really appreciated the immersive nature of the tour, hiking up hills to appreciate the views, wandering through castle ruins, hearing the history relating to each area we visited and the cherry on top snuggles with Hairy Coos!! Our guide Fraser was so knowledgeable and entertaining, he made the trip!
