GREAT TOUR! - Stewart provided a wonderful day. He picked us up at our hotel and took us to the Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel. Stewart was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We were not rushed through either site. He has a great sense of humor and was very engaging. I'd book another with Stewart!

Great day! - We really enjoyed our day with Stewart. The original tour was the kelpies and Falkirk wheel but asked about adding Sterling castle, and Stewart made it happen! I also want to add that we had planned this tour with Stewart in Oct of 2023 but had to cancel at the last minute, so am very happy we were able to finally make it. We would definitely recommend tartan tours! Barb and Kelly

Great Tour Guide - Stewart was a fantastic guide who knows the area well. He picked us up right at the cruise terminal door in Greenock and toured the Kelpies and then the boat tour at Falkirk Wheel. It was a great six hours of touring and one of the best excursions during our Scotland cruise. Very comfortable van for the four in our group.

Great tour with Stuart! - We saw the Kelpies and the Fallirk wheel with Stuart of Tartan Tours. Stuart was an excellent guide, knowledgeable and friendly. Both stops were very interesting and we learned a lot of details from Stuart. It was fun driving through the countryside. Stuart was on time to pick us up. He is a good careful driver. Vehicle is clean and comfortable. We will definitely use him again and highly recommend him to anyone!

Fantastic Day at Kelpies & Falkirk Wheel with Stewart of Tartan Tours Scotland - My husband & I took the Kelpies & Falkirk Wheel tour with Stewart of Tartan Tours of Scotland & we very highly recommend it! Stewart is a fantastic, knowledgeable & professional guide who made our visit much more than just sightseeing. He provided background information about the Kelpies & the Falkirk Wheel & also showed & explained other interesting sights in the area in a most enjoyable manner. Stewart answered any questions we might have, allowing time to take photos & taking photos of us. Stewart was so thoughtful & offered to hold our place in line for the Falkirk Wheel so we could get a quick bite before we went on it. We highly recommend this or any tour with Stewart! Thank you, Stewart for the great memories!!

Off the beaten path gem - Stewart with Tartan tours was friendly and professional, answered all communication quickly and was a lot of fun. We originally had little interest in the Kelpies, just the wheel however once Stewart gave us the background and then we saw them, we were blown away. A real eye opener and he knew the best places to get the best pictures. The Falkirk wheel did not disappoint!! A true engineering marvel and a great experience seeing it work and then taking the ride which was Stewart’s suggestion. The lunch items served at the site were quite tasty and quick. Great value for the money.

Morning with Stewart and the Kelpies! - What a wonderful, informative and fun day we spent with Stewart at the Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel. What a treat to have a taste of Irn bru as we traveled over the Scottish roadways! We never felt rushed and the photo ops provided great memories of this experience. I brought a Sunday Today Show mug with me to take pictures... Stewart was excited to get in the act!

A Visit to the Kelpies and Falkirk Wheel - We had time before the start of our Scotland tour, so we researched options and saw the great reviews for Tartan Tours. We were not disappointed. Stewart was the best introduction we could have asked for to the lovely people and interesting sites near Glasgow. I would highly recommend him as a guide for your touring needs. He told us about many set tours and let us know he can also cater to your needs. Thanks Stewart for an lovely start to our trip.

Stewart knew the artist’s... - Stewart knew the artist’s inspiration for The Kelpies and how the history of Glasgow and the Clyde were tied together with both The Kelpies and The Falkirk Wheel. Plus Stewart was just plain delightful to travel with.
