Our guide, Jamie made the tour amazing! - What a perfect day tour from Glasgow! So much to see and learn about at Sterling Castle! The perfect amount of time at each stop and variety. The stop for lunch at Loch Lomond was so pleasant. James took us on a great little walk explaining the fora and fauna of the region as well as showing us the line that divides highlands and lowlands of Scotland. The tour ends at the distillery tour and finishes the day so nicely! The whole time in between James, our guide was so pleasant to talk to and his went above and beyond to answer all our questions! He knows so much about Scotland’s history as well as Scottish popular culture. He made the tour so much more valuable and enjoyable! Would highly recommend this tour! Was the highlight of our visit to Scotland.

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.
