Well worth a visit - Had a wonderful walk today with our guide Diane. Right from the start she was warm and friendly, shared a wealth of information and was clearly passionate about the history of the old town. Highly recommended and great value for money.

Amazing tour. Learnt so much - Very passionate and knowledgeable guide. Great use of humour and allowed us to ask plenty of questions. It’s a trek to get to the start point (we are old and were pushing a wheelchair), but this didn’t detract from a superb experience (simply highlighting for other readers). I can whole heartedly recommend this trip and the guide we had. Top man.

Great tour of Stirling with lots of history. - Diane was great, so informative on so many different areas of Stirling and Scottish history. The walk took in a lot of Stirling, and had a lot of stops and done at leisurely pace. I really enjoyed the cemetery and the view from the castle esplanade and listening to Diane tell us about the battle of Stirling bridge. I would 100% recommend.

Very good communication - Host was very responsive! Messaged me back within minutes on the morning of the tour, so when I had to cancel due to the train being canceled, my plans were easily rearranged.

Fabulous tour - Wonderful tour of the “old town” with Jane our tour guide. Jane was very knowledgeable and told stories about the history of Stirling, kings and queens, its importance as a port and ships. The tour was thoroughly entertaining and Jane made the old town come to life. Jane took us through the graveyards which told their own story of riches and early deaths. The tour finished at the Castle and the breathtaking views of the surrounding area. Fabulous tour brought to life with storytelling by Jane.

Not to be missed old town tour - What a fabulous tour of the Old Town led by Jane. A wonderful guide with so much knowledge she made the old town come to life with her stories of merchants, ships in port, Kings and Queens of Scotland and their bloody history. When we arrived at the castle the tour was finished. It was over too soon.

Lovely learning while strolling experience - Jane was a fantastic guide , sharing lots of interesting information, as well as stories with a good bit of humour too. The 90 mins flew by and we loved exploring the old town and hearing about the buildings and importance of Stirling back in the day. Highly recommend if you fancy an informal stroll through the old time learning as you go!
