Great Small Group Tour and Guide - Our guide Anthony made this trip a lot of fun! The sights were beautiful, and ample time was allowed to enjoy each of them. Loved the fact this was a small group of people. This was one of the reasons we chose this company over other larger group tours. If we had more time, I’d definitely book another tour!

Great tour, don't miss out! - Perry was a wonderful guide! Knowledgeable and friendly about the areas we visited, always adding content to make this visit even more memorable. Even though we did visit several sites, I never felt rushed or unable to participate as much as I wanted to.

A full day to get out of... - A full day to get out of the city and experience both the lowlands and highlands. Gorgeous scenery dotted with sheep and their lambs. Stirling Castle was awesome, Loch Lomond beautiful, the tour of Glengoyne Distillery was very well done and the Kelpies were really special. Best was our driver/tour guide Perry. Cheers to him.

Best day EVER!! - Excellent locations, but the highlight was having a tour guide like Perry give it the most amazing human experience we could have ever imagined. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable, a talented driver, but he was kind not just to us, but to anyone that asked for anything that they needed. He was even thoughtful enough to bring treats for those on the tour. I will recommend it to all my friends. If I could give him 1 million stars I would. He was supremely aware of our safety and a true gentleman! Viator is lucky to have him as part of his team of guides. We will be back and bring back the sunshine. With love the Jaramillo Sisters!

Experience Scotland’s Wild! - Our journey to Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond and Glengoyne Distillery was a fantastic and fulfilling experience! Our tour guide, Pete, was incredibly knowledgeable in Scotland’s history and shared historical facts about the area that we wouldn’t necessarily hear on our tour of the castle. We learned of the folklore of the Kelpies and took some beautiful pictures of the sculptures. While in the van, Pete played a mix of traditional and modern Scottish music as well as gave us lessons in Scottish language. He took us on short scenic hikes around Loch Lomond and, on the way back, took us “hunting” for Highland Coos. We were successful in locating three gorgeous coos and took snapshots from a safe distance while they were grazing. After the tour, Pete followed up with us and sent suggestions for restaurants in the area and where we could go to learn some Scottish dancing! Overall, this trip was more than we could’ve asked for!

An Awesome Day - I went on the Stirling Castle/Loch Lommond/Glengoyne/Kelpies tour with Magnus. He was amazing and very informative on Scotland's history and the significance of each site. He also adjusted the tour for me a bit see some other points of interest along the way. Great tour, highly recommend.

This tour is a must! - This tour exceeded our expectations. Aila was wonderful. She was extremely informed and just a joy to spend the day with! We spent 10 days in the UK and this tour was our favorite! A little bit of everything. From the Stirling castle then on to Loch Lomond ( our favorite stop) then the Whiskey tour ( very interesting) and then the Kelpies!
