Traveler reviews
Good Tour
Tour was good, we've seen a lot. We had a perfect guide with Dusty, very professional and polite.
Perfect day trip
Dusty was an excellent and knowledgable tour guide. It was a pleasure seeing the kelpies, loch lomond, and stirling castle with him.
Day Tour
My family and I had a lovely time on this day tour. Dusty was a very informative and enjoyable tour guide. He provided lovely stories and history of the areas we were passing through and/or stopped at!
Stirling castle
This tour was super cool! Our tour guide James was funny and very good at keeping us entertained, with cool Scottish stories/tales. He also detoured so we could have a better view of Linlithgow Palace from a view point at the local Loch. Super awesome. The kelpies were neat we had 30 mins to explore, not really much time if you want to do more with this area such as the walking trails, but enough time to snap some photos, grab a coffee and pee break. Loch Lomond was beautiful, the best view in our opinion was if you walked about 15mins out to the end of the tar road (slight incline) you come to the docks which had good views but about 5 mins on the dirt path had a cooler bridge with excellent view of the Mrs and loch. The little town here was a good place to grab a bite to eat for lunch! Our favorite part was Stirling castle, again honest opinion we enjoyed it better than Edinburgh castle! Stunning views everywhere, beautiful history and well laid out area with again lots of snacking options and so many toilet options. It is an additional charge but so worth it! On the way back we went over 2 of the “three bridges” which was again a cool add on. And we arrived back in Edinburgh right on time. Overall great trip, only downside and the reason it was 4/5 was the air in the bus was on per the driver, but it did not seem to work and it got quite warm with the sun.
A wonderful day in the Scottish countryside
Wonderful tour from start to finish. Charlie was an excellent driver and a knowledgeable and entertaining guide. The stops were outstanding. Even the weather chose to cooperate. All in all a great way to spend a day in the Scottish countryside. 5 stars, highly recommended.
