First time in Scotland - Stewart did a great job and felt like family by the end out our tour. This was our first time in Scotland and he was sensitive in not overloading us with information- allowing us to take in what we wanted at our own pace. He also knew the importance of these two historical sites to us and pointed out interesting information relating to our ancestors. Finally, we had a few special requests that were not part of the tour and he was able to accommodate them. We will definitely ask Stewart to help plan our next trip in Scotland. Thank you Stewart!

Stewart is the best!! - We had a marvelous time with Stewart! He really took care of us — made sure we were comfortable and safe. His car was so clean, we thought it was brand new. His knowledge of the sites was amazing. He was so personable that by the end of the day, we felt like we were saying goodbye to an old friend. Highly recommended!

See the Real Scotland - If you want to see the “ Real Scotland” you must book one of the many tours Tartan Tours has to offer. Stewart masterfully crafted our four day Scottish tour based on our interests. He was able to curate a trip of a lifetime , keeping in mind my love of small villages, castles and picturesque landscapes and my cousin’s love for William Wallace and Robert Bruce. We were able to see so many beautiful and historic sites in our limited time in Scotland. Prior to the trip Stewart was a pleasure to work with, I was able to communicate my dietary needs( vegetarian and gluten free) and he did some preplanning to scope out restaurants near the hotel where I would be able to find food options. From the moment Stewart picked us up at the airport to the moment he dropped us off at our hotel back in the city for the end of last leg of our vacation, Stewart was warm, welcoming, patient and attentive. He greeted us enthusiastically each morning he picked us up in his comfortable vehicle, with a personalized snack and water waiting for us, and ensured we had reservations for dinner each evening. The tour package we purchased included lodging and breakfast at the Spinnaker Hotel. The lodging and hospitality was unsurpassed and the views of the River Clyde from the hotel were breathtaking. This was truly an experience I will always remember.

Fantastic Tour - I had a fantastic tour with Stewart. He was very knowledgable about Stirling Castle and Bannockburn and even fitted in a side trip to see the Kelpies for me which he also knew a lot about. Nothing was too much trouble. Really recommend Tartan Tours and wish I had taken more tours with him.

Sterling Stirling - Seeing Stirling Castle with our guide’s excellent narration and allowing us all the time we needed to take it in was wonderful. Stewart also gave us a real sense of the importance and emotion of Bannockburn.
