Incredible tour - The tour was amazing, got to see everything in as described, plus more! Due to the extreme weather (subzero C's temps) the canals in the Wheel were frozen so the boat trip was canceled, and...I am happy it was. I still got to see the wheel, and from what I gathered the boat trip's kinda boring. You get in a boat, you go up the wheel forward about ~ 1km, back, down that's it. Instead as we had extra time the tour guide (I am absolutely horrible with names so I'll call the guy "the guy from Latvia" suggested and we went and saw 2 more castles that would have otherwise not been in the list of things to see! And if you ask me...silly boat ride vs more castles....the castles win hands down! In addition to that "the guy from Latvia" was a fountain of information both of and about the sites we were visiting and in general about Scotland, recommendations of what I could see in Edinburgh and after during the rest of my trip in Scotland and so on and so forth and very friendly overall. Highly recommended.

A bucket list must. - Enjoyed a fantastic day at the Falkirk Wheel. We took the boat trip up the wheel and along the canal and back. The whole experience was just fab. From the initial greeting by the ticket sale lady to the humorous but educational tour guides on the boat. The actual engineering involved is breathtakingly good. A bucket list must, enjoy.

Fantastic tour - Ed picked us up on time to start the day. His knowledge of Stirling and Doune castle made the history of both easy to understand. The Falkirk wheel is definitely something to see. We all had a great time.
