Loved this walking tour (and we've done many!) - Donnie guided us on an excellent Stirling Old Town Tour. I came away with a better understanding of many-things-Scotland. He didn't let the rain bother him and he was amazing at finding dry spots for us to stand.

A must do when in Stirling - A really informative tour highlighting major attractions and buildings of interest. We had just arrived the day before and this tour helped us get out bearings and find out about the major attractions. Would definitely recommend.

Walk and talk - Very informative walk and talk. I enjoyed the history and the current day. Would have been. Ice to expand the trip into the castle but that would have required much greater time.

great - Stirling is an important and beautiful city in Scotland. The tour was interesting and our guide was lovely. My one recommendation would be a little more information on who the key players were. I didn't know who much Scotish history so didn't really know who were the people noted on the tour (We watched Braveheart afterwards which helped :)
