A+ - Rhys was a fantastic guide. Full of information and entertaining jokes. He suggested we do this tour backwards to get Dukes Pass out of the way early and save Stirling Castle for last, and I definitely believe that is the best way to do it.

- We booked the Loch Lomond, Kelpies & Stirling Castle tour with Timberbush and the day trip was spectacular! Our guide Ewen provided us with short crisp narratives along the trip while visiting the diff locations. His food reccos and history anecdotes made the trip memorable. Looking forward to more such trips with Ewen and Timberbush !

Great tour - Scenery was amazing. Our guide Johnathon was very entertaining and also shared historical information and stories with us in an engaging way. Loved all parts of the tour, Kelpies, cruise down Loch Lomond, lunch at Aberfoyle, stopping to see the coos, driving through beautiful countryside and visiting Stirling Castle.

A relaxing day outside the city - Our bus driver (Graham) was hilarious! I appreciated his honesty and his humor. Really what you are paying for here is a bus ride, so having an entertaining driver is wonderful! Our group did a good job of being prompt at each stop, so he was able to add in some quick bonus stops, which was great! As they say in the description, you'll pay separately for the cruise and the castle entry. (Stirling castle was, in our opinion, better than Edinburgh castle, for what it is worth!)

An expensive cab ride… - Our driver was a good narrator on our trip! But overall, this was just an expensive cab ride. The description of the trip on the website was 100% accurate. But there was just far too little time at each site. We spent 15 minutes at the Kelpies, including walking to and from the art, which left us 3 minutes at the actual exhibit. Same was true for almost all of the other sites. I would suggest that they do less sites for a longer time.
