Beautiful one day tour - We had a beautiful day visiting Stirling Castle (not planned originally for the tour but the other one was closed for some reason) and the cemetery right next to it, the town seems lovely, but not enough time to visit. I loved the second castle with beautiful gardens, fully furnished and the amazing kitchen, loved it! Loch Lommond and the little town was also very nice.
Marco was our driver and tour guide, he was very nice, attentive and amicable.
During the ride on the bus he played a very nice Scottish music playlist.

Great one day tour of Highlands - This was a perfect tour for a shorter trip to Edinburgh. We didn’t have multiple days to spend in the Highlands or outside of Edinburgh so this was a perfect way to experience it and not have to rent a car. Our tour guide, Alistair, did a great job. He was very knowledgeable and kept the tour on time.

Great experience - We had a very nice day in the Highlands. Our guide was Eric, he did a great job. Before the tour we were a bit concerned about scottish accent since we are from Germany, but all the information and jokes were very easy to understand. Our trip was perfect for us, not too long driving distances and in between interesting places and nature to see. We saw a lot and were’nt exhausted at the end of the day. We can highly recommend this tour and Eris as well.

Awesome History and Sight seeing tour - This was such a fun tour! Marty was a blast. We saw so many beautiful sights and also learned a lot. In addition we also loved that we were on private van with our group vs a very large tour bus. That was a nice surprise!

A really fun trip visiting the highlands and all the castles - So the day before I visited loch Ness. But this trip took us to the West Highlands and to the castles. One of the castles was the one where Monty Python and the holy Grail was filmed. The council's just a shell and they charge $10 to go inside which I did not do. I did visit the other castles and took pictures of others that we didn't stop at. Lots of information on the tour and the tour guide and I compared information from the tour Guide I had one I visited loch Ness
This is a must tour for those who want to see West Highlands

Excellent - Never get tired of the spectacular views of the Highlands. The castles were nice to see even if some were not open on the day we booked. However the stop along the way were lovely and finishing off with Loch Lomond was perfect. A rainy day but we still enjoyed it. Marty our guide was excellent!
