Enjoyable and informative tour - Wanted the family to see Stirling Castle and thought the tour would be a good way to do it. Didn't know that we were going to see Loch Lomond by boat, that was a surprise. Our driver, Charlie, provided a great mix of history and music that tied to the sites we saw. Highly recommend this tour

Stirling Castle A Must-See - The tour of Stirling Castle was the highlight of the day. The one hour boat ride on Loch Lomond was just a time filler, as was the stop in Aberfoyle for coffee. I could have done without both. There is a terrific pub, The Portcullis, immediately adjacent to the parking lot at Stirling Castle and I would have a pub lunch there again. Very generous servings, and good too. Stuart was a gracious and knowledgeable guide, with an impressive background. I’d love to spend more time with him someday.

Smooth sailing and sunny Stirling - I would rate this tour 4.5 out of 5 Stars. Marc was our driver and guide on this tour - he was absolutely wonderful. Made sure everyone was looked after, was funny and interactive. He took the time to check in with me after some bumpy roads, as I had mentioned being prone to motion sickness. He also stopped for us to see some Highland cows and feed them carrots! We were incredibly lucky to have such agreeable, warm weather, which only added to the beauty of the day. For anyone considering this tour, it’s a great way to see some of the natural beauty and rich history of Scotland. I highly recommend taking the boat cruise in Loch Lomond and pre-purchasing tickets online for Stirling Castle. My only criticism would be that more time is required at the castle to really take it all in. I opted for one of the free guided tours which was about an hour, leaving me with only 30 mins to explore on my own.

Great Tour Guide & Tour - The tour was very nice. However, the highlight of the tour was our tour guide, Robert. He was a wealth of information about each area we visited. He also was friendly, put everyone in a great mood and has a great sense of humor.
