Stirling a city not to be missed! - Accurate visit of the old town of Stirling really very interesting and recommended. The only drawback is that the guide is local and speaks Scottish, for us Italians as for other foreigners it is difficult to understand anything. We helped ourselves with google!

Wonderful value for money & key landmarks within a fairly small geographical area - Very enjoyable, very informative. Not loads & loads of walking which makes a nice change but we saw key landmarks within a fairly small geographical area. Wonderful value for money also.

I would go with a different tour operator - As I got off the train in Stirling, I was informed that my tour would begin a half hour late, which conflicted with other plans. I understand that things happened, but I wasn't pleased at sick late notice.
