Very enjoyable tour. Karen, our driver/guide is a very personable and knowledgeable guide. She kept everyone entertained and informed. She was able to keep us on time to the locations on the tour and at the same time was able to give us lots of time to explore.
Stirling Castle is amazing. Take the time to do the free tour offered by castle staff. Lock Lomond is beautiful. The whisky distillery tour is very fun. Kelpies are incredible works of art.
This tour is well worth your time and money. Highly recommend it.

Saw a ton. Great way to get out of town. A nice small group. While bus was nice it was hard to hear guide in the back and the side rails getting out where a hazard. Great stops to see nature and castles. Too much time spent at lake area that has paid potties fyi.

What a great day we had! Karen, our tour guide knew just how to make our day special. We were comfortably whisked away in a roomy van to the countryside of Scotland where we enjoyed Sterling Castle (spectacular!), then a hike along Loch Lomond, a distillery tour (and tasting), and finally for a photo shoot at the Kelpies. Could not have had a better outing.

Entire tour was awesome.
Stirling Castle was super interesting. Could have spent more time there..
Kelpies were interesting, but not a must do. In a pretty nice Greenland park..
Would also have loved to have seen Wallace monument, but was not part of tour.
Our guide Derek was great.

We really enjoyed our tour with Colllin and his vast knowledge and passion for Scotland. The highlight was definitely the tour and tasting at Glengoyne Distillery. Stirling Castle was also very enjoyable and felt a lot more relaxed compared to a visit to Edinburgh Castle. We arrived just in time for the free tour which was included with price of admission to the castle.

The entire tour was a great time. Collin was an amazing host with lots of fun stories and so much information about the history of the places we were going to! Getting to explore the countryside and have some good conversations with different folks was a lot of fun! We had great weather and getting to see Stirling Castle and Loch Lomand in all their glory were highlights for sure! Definitely reccomend for the day!

Booked this tour for myself and the family. We wanted to get out of the city and see the Scottish country side. We went to Loch Lomond, Sterling Castle, Glengoyne Distillery and the Kelpies. Chris, our tour guide was knowledgeable and engaging! Highly recommend this tour for anyone staying in the city who wants a break from the hustle and bustle.
Randall_F, Apr 2024
This was a truly fabulous tour. Karen, our guide, was fun, funny, knowledgeable, and really a treat to tour with. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone wanting to take a day trip out of Edinburgh (or Glasgow, since we met up with a group from there) to see some pretty amazing sights, and learn a little about the country and culture.
Gary_R, Apr 2024
Really enjoyed our day. Karen was knowledgeable and a great guide. Glengoyne Distillery was fun and educational to anyone interested in Scotch.
Beverly_K, Apr 2024
We were lucky to have an intimate, small, tour with great guides at Stirling Castle, Glengoyne Distillery, The Kelpies Sculpture, and hiking around Loch Lomand.
