Perfect day. - We wanted to take a moment and share with you our experience for our day tour to Stirling Castle, Cameron was our guide, personal guide if you would as we were the only people on the bus. We had a PERFECT day! He shared historical facts, stories, pointed out many beautiful sites and shared his love of the countryside with us! While we know being only two people on the tour is not the norm, we appreciate that the tour was not cancelled and we were still able to see more of this beautiful country.

Love this company!!!! - Loch Lomond, Stirling Castle & the Kelpies was the 2nd one day tour I booked and we had Cameron for a tour guide. He is pretty new with the company, but man! He loves history of Scotland so he had so much information that we just ate up. Because of him, we found out that my mother in laws family had a castle. We went to Scotland to do a pilgrimage of her family, celebrating her 75th. Cameron made it extra special so thank you to him!!! He was my MILs favorite tour guide, with good reason. I absolutely love this company! They are the absolute best!! You will not regret booking with them!!!

Great day tour with amazing guide! - We had an amazing tour with our tour guide - Kyle! He was awesome from start to finish, not only a wealth of knowledge but also super fun and kind. We wish we had him for every tour on our trip! The tour itself was super well planned out, with a perfect mix of stops, and never too long spent in the van at any one time. My personal highlights were the guided tour in Sterling Castle and feeding some highland cows. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone trying to get out of the city and enjoy the “gateway to the highlands” for a day!

Honeymoon - Tour with Gary - top!!! - We had a great day alone with Gary - only at Sterling Castle I would have liked a little more time. The Kelpies were mega, the boat trip on Loch Lomand absolutely recommended but in 1.5 hours you can not manage to visit Sterling Castle completely. Nevertheless: a successful day all around.
