Great tour from Glasgow - This was such a great tour. Very personalized and we got to see things not offered elsewhere. Plus it wasn’t 8-12 hours. Love all of the great pictures we got. Simon was a great tour guide!

Great experience and guide. - Our private tour with tour guide Simon was excellent. Simon was not only knowledgeable but kind, personable, entertaining, funny, and accommodating to say the least. My sister, friend, and I were treated like family. We could not have asked for a better experience. Every stop we made was memorable, beautiful, and pic worthy. I highly recommend the tour especially with Simon.

A wonderful day exploring Loch Lomond and Stirling! - There were 3 of us traveling together going to Loch Lomond, Stirling and the Kelpies. The entire experience was so easy from booking to being picked up to enjoying the entire tour. Jimmy was our driver and he was the best! Very knowledgeable, easy going and made the whole day enjoyable. Truly enjoyed Stirling, such a beautiful place. Jimmy also let us take our time exploring and timed our visit to the kelpies just right as they were all lit up! Overall a wonderful experience and I look forward to my next trip back and doing a trip to the highlands with Jimmy!

Highly recommend this tour!!! - This tour was fantastic - we thoroughly recommend Brian who drove us to our various sites and was so knowledgeable and passionate about Scottish history and culture. He made our tour the highlight of our trip - we loved feeding the highland cows, seeing the incredible kelpies, cruising the stunning Loch Lomond and learning all about Robert the Bruce and William Wallace as we connected with Stirling. Our family felt safe, comfortable and engaged and we were even spoiled with special Scottish treats! Totally enjoyed ourselves and can endorse! Thank you…

An amazing full day! - Martin was eady to communicate with after booking and our driver Shak, dispatched by Martin, was fabulous! We explored Glasgow for a full day - his car was comfortable, clean and he provided delicious local snacks - shortbread & chocolates! We visited Loch Lomond, Stirling Castle, the Kelpies - all with plenty of time to explore and then ventured into Glasgow central where he found us a great spot for a seafood lunch dining el fresco. Then it was into Glasgow Cathedral area. We were returned to our ship with plenty of time. Our day with Shak was outstanding.

Great day in Scotland! - Our tour guide and driver, Simon Allen, was attentive to our group’s wishes and needs. He was so personable and just wonderful company. Simon took us to the Wallace Monument, Robert the Bruce’s castle, Sterling, Callender, and Glasgow. The tour around Glasgow included architecture, history, and modern day murals. We discussed Scottish pop culture and we listened to music from artists all over the UK. My favorite experience was feeding the Highland Cows. Thank you Simon! You made my first day in Scotland so much fun and memorable.

Lovely Scottish Romp - Lovely day thanks to Ritchie! He allowed us to customize and change as we went thru our day. The Kelpies were amazing. The cows fantastically friendly. Stirling Castle is can't miss (wish had more time here). Loved our lunch spot below Stirling Castle. Views from Loch Lomond were made better by traditional Scottish snacks that Ritchie gave us.

Great driver who went above and beyond - Shaq - We had a wonderful tour with our driver Shaq, who accommodated our early cruise ship arrival and the tour we had mapped out. We visited the Kelpies, Stirling Castle and Loch Lomond, where we had purchased tickets for a cruise. We met him as soon as we got off the cruise ship and he kept us on track with our tight schedule. We never felt rushed, except for a hiccup as to where our Loch Lomond cruise started, but he made sure we made it in spite of being given incorrect directions. He really went above and beyond to accommodate us and ensure that we had a wonderful day. I really can't say enough good things about him as a driver and strongly recommend him to anyone who wants to have a relaxed tour out of Greenock.
