All It was suppose to be - Seeing the Kekpies. Isla the guide was very nice. Helped me climb to see Loc Lomond at 80 on that trail which was a little too tough for me but made it with lots. Of complaining 😀

Fantastic tour! - Fantastic tour! Ritchie was a terrific guide, informative, full of 'stories' and funny. We hit all the itinerary stops plus a bonus stop at the Falkirk Wheel. Great tour for solo travelers.

Excellent, unhurried tour with lots to see - Awesome full day excursion. Small group of 8 and we had an incredible guide. Unhurried tour with variety and some great sites. Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond and the whisky tasting were all great. Highly recommended.

Great Day Trip! - A little bit of everything! Great day trip for those short on time and unable to do a longer tour. Easy walk from where we stayed in Edinburgh to the pickup point. One of the main reasons I picked this tour was bc of the small group size. There is a max of 8. It was so much better than a large group coach tour! Our guide Owen was awesome! He’s a history buff, so we got a lot of historical context. Very interesting! Only thing to be aware: the hike at the Loch is mostly uphill. The views are awesome, but the walk could be a struggle for some. Owen was kind and patient to make sure everyone made it to the top! Definitely recommend this tour and would like to do a longer tour in the future!

Loved it - We did the tour yesterday with Owen and loved it. He told lots of tiny stories and facts about Scotland and the places we went to. He also had a few tips for us what to do the following days. If you‘d like to hike, you should probably pick a different tour but if you‘re in for a chill day with lots to see, it‘s perfect!

Amazing small group day trip! - Stirling Castle and the Loch Lomond walk were just amazing! Callum was the best driver and guide!!!!!! We enjoyed the whiskey distillery tour even though we are no whiskey drinkers. This was the smallest day tour we took and the small group size made it extra special. I highly recommend!!!

Half the trip we saw on other tours in passing. - Definitely Sterling Castle was not to be missed. A lot of history and beautiful gardens and tapestries. Loch Lomond was a gorgeous location for a short walk, not too difficult. Glengoyne Whisky distillery tour was fascinating. We made a bonus stop at the Falkirk Wheel and we had great timing and got to see it work. Last stop was at the Kelpies and got to see them up close instead of just seeing them in passing from the roadway. Richy our guide was great, knowledgeable and fun. Worth the trip to Stirling Castle if you want to go it. The rest of the trip we saw on other tours in passing. The tasting could have been done in Edinburgh. Unless you’re interested in making Whisky.
