Fun day at Loch Lomond & Stirling Castle - Nice day trip with entertaining commentary along the way by Nick and Sam. My wife and I recommend this tour company and a boat tour on Loch Lomond was worth a small additional charge.

One day tour - The morning of April 8, I set off on a trip to Loch Lomond, unsure of what to expect. Luckily, I had Paul Santa as our enthusiastic tour guide and Stuart as our careful driver. From start to finish, the experience was both enriching and relaxing—Paul Santa’s fascinating insights brought Loch Lomond’s beauty to life, while Stuart’s smooth driving ensured we could take it all in comfortably. The tour was well-organized, making every moment enjoyable

We chose this tour... - We chose this tour because it was not as long as the other highland tours, but we were glad we did. The Kelpies are amazing, Loch Lomand wasn’t as exciting as we thought it would be because sadly we missed the boat so didn’t get to see much of it. Sterling Castle is beautiful and interesting, with many points of interest along the way. The real star of the tour was our guide and driver, Ash. He kept us entertained with his fun and witty historical stories, as well as a few musical interludes!

Highlands Tour - This was an absolutely must have tour for me. I loved every minute of it. I ended up on a slightly different tour which didn't stop at the Kelpies but we did see them. I ended up on a 10 hour Highlands tour which was even more than I could have asked for. Note: I missed my bus, hence the change and they managed to accomodate me on the spot for a different tour. I got extremely lucky.
