Perfect combination for a day - We had a great day with Jim our guide. Jim was enthusiastic and had a lot of knowledge and told us what we wanted to know. The castle was great then to loch lomand which was very pretty and gave us a short overview of the highlands. After that to the distillery. Great tour nice tasting and back to Glasgow. The weather was hot and sunny probably due to the Spanish family whom joined us in this day. Thanks Jim. Maybe we will meet soon

Great experience! We had a wonderful day! - We enjoyed exploring Stirling Castle, a short hike at Loch Lomomd, and of course, the distillery tour. We had a wonderful tour guide, James. He was well informed and offered many suggestions of other things to do in the area. We would definitely recommend this experience and would book with them again.

Loved the stops we made. - Our driver Jim was really good and interactive and knowledgeable. The stops were all great but the distance from ship was an issue

Lovely trip to the Glasgow countryside - Yvonne took us on a drive around the countryside north of Glasgow. The small group made casual conversation easy and we had excellent guidance at each of the stops. Yvonne knows her stuff and wanted to get to know each of the guests. Would tour with her again. I wish we had had a bit more time at Stirling Castle as the guided tour took up most of the allotted time for the stop, but perhaps that’s just a reason to go back.

Absolutely Amazing Tour and Company!! - To say that our tour was AMAZING would be an understatement! The sites, from Stirling Castle to the sites and little hike at Loch Lomond to finishing up at the Glengoyne Distillery were incredible! Getting to share Scotland with my son has been an amazing trip & sharing these experiences with him was a brilliant decision. Now to the real gems of the tour- their employees!! Our guides Yvonne, Jim and James (we were super fortunate to get 3 guides as the van wasn’t full) were the rockstars of the experience. Their knowledge, warmth and friendliness were what made the experience amazing. Their personalities meshed with us and our other guests AND got us to mesh with guests from the companies other trip out of Edinburgh! It was so much fun we didn’t want the trip to end! FIVE stars for this experience, the company and the employees! It’s obvious that this company is not like others that may just drop off and go. Their staff, Yvonne, Jim and James connected with us personally and made the whole day a THOROUGHLY enjoyable experience! Not only highly recommend them, but when I return to Scotland next year with other family it will be the only group I will book a tour through! BRAVO and thank you for the great experience!

Lauren is wonderful, and the groups are small, which makes them intimate (mine was four people; all females.) - My guide was Lauren M. She was knowledgeable, friendly and very enthusiastic. It's obvious she loves her country and job as a guide. Highly recommend your company and her as well.
