Great value for the money! - Graham was a great driver!! But seriously people, do not go on a bus trip if you suffer from any of the following: 1, you can’t tell time. We had people over 15 minutes late back to the bus-seriously? And it happened at every stop. 2, you get car sick easily. This lady’s husband wanted Graham to stop the bus load of people he had for 1 person. The trip was great and we saw the Kelpies!!! Great value for the money and the bus was super clean.

Best Way to Really See Scotland - The ride was comfortable and included enough bathroom and stretching stops along the way. The lunch spots are basic. The tour guide, John was both very informative and knowable about the sites and went above and beyond with answering unrelated questions to the tour. John really had the guests going and cheering along the way. He's an excellent driver when we were diverted for a road closure, he handled an alternate route with a very narrow winding road with great skill. He also pointed our many things beyond the tour description and was very authentic. The add on castle tour and boat ride on the loch are worth paying for.

Stirling Castle was wonderful - Touring Sterling Castle was my favorite part.
Wish there had been more time for lunch. It was a hurried affair.

Rushed - Loch Lomond, Stirling Castle and Kelpies
Our tour guide Nathalie was super lovely so there’s no complaints about her ❤️
It feels like everything was super rushed. Cause of small traffic issues we were 10 minutes late for Loch Lomond cruise. The cruise waited for us for a few minutes but we needed to run there and some people hadn’t managed to buy tickets. Lunch break was just 40 minutes so we had to eat super quickly and run for the bus. Then we had 2 hours for Stirling Castle- I would say that’s a bit too much time and after an hour you just hang around.
Nice views, great if it’s your first trip to Scotland but be prepared that you have to rush

Failed to meet expectations - The sites were good, the tour or tour guide was not. She was difficult to understand and often dropped so far in volume that it seemed as if she were talking to herself more than to a bus full of people. She was not very friendly or welcoming, and did not greet you when reentering the bus. She seemed to have limited knowledge about the history of the locales, and almost seemed bothered when approached with questions. We felt we were given inaccurate or incomplete information regarding ticket prices, and timing estimates. The time at the Kellpies was very short, the Loch was nothing special, and it could have easily been replaced with either more time at Sterling and the Kellpies, or substituted with the Wallace Monument which was surprisingly close. Tldr: Sites were good, tour guide was horrendous.
