“An atmospheric castle and loch tour - We had so much fun on this day trip. The natural scenery was breathtaking and dramatic in autumn, different colors interspersed with forests, lakes and mountains. Our guide Ali P was very friendly and knowledgeable and had a killer of a Scottish-inspired playlist 👌 The castles were like a time capsule and really bring on the atmosphere of a movie /novel, and it was cool we found out about some shows shot in Doune Castle 🍀 All in all, highly recommended and would repeat gladly 🌈” - Reviewed on 2024-10-28
