Last minute decision, but such a great trip

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Dunfermline Abbey, Stirling Castle and Roslyn Chapel, however, although we were looking most forward to Roslyn Chapel it wasn’t nearly as great as Stirling Castle and Dunfermline Abbey. Paul, our tour guide was fantastic! So witty and informative, Paul was a pleasure with which to spend the day. This was a last minute idea and we sure did enjoy it!

Enjoyable day

This tour had a good pace with enough stops to keep you invested. Stefan was a terrific guide and an incredible storyteller. The wealth of history knowledge he has is extensive and he wove entertainment through the day.
