Excellent tour for people with mobility issues - Excellent wee tour that I'd recommend to tourists and Scots. My mum has mobility issues and I don't drive so this was a great way to visit a few different places in the Trossachs and Stirling. Stirling Castle is absolutely beautiful after the refurbishment and the gardens are lovely. I can't thank the driver enough for how helpful he was in assisting my mum with her wheelchair requirements. Even learned a couple of things about local history we weren't aware of. Had no idea the French seconded Dumbarton rock during the Napoleonic wars and still have descendents there haha Thanks for a great tour :)

Wee Davey was a fantastic guide! Great day out from Glasgow - We had a fantastic day with our guide Wee Davey, a truly professional and knowledgeable Glaswegian! He gave us a comprehensive history of the city, the Socttish Clans, major battles and tips on how to make the most of your time in Bonnie Scotland. A great introduction to Scotland if you haven't got much time in Glasgow. Look no further, just go! You'll have a great time!

A lovely historical adventure! - We thoroughly enjoyed this day trip. Jock was a great host, very knowledgeable of the area and played great music during our drive. The bus was comfortable and you could easily see the gorgeous views along the way. The cruise on Loch Lomond was ok. A bit boring. The stop in Aberfoyle was good for lunch and shopping. Sterling Castle was amazing even though the cost to get in was a bit pricey. Overall a worthwhile adventure.

The driver makes the difference! - Wonderful tour!excellent tour guide/driver - Stuart! He went above and beyond!! He even brought carrots for a stop to feed the highland cows. The lunch stop in aberfoyle was perfect timing. The butcher shop made the fresh steak sandwich that got rave reviews. We had just enough time to stop at the Faerie Tree for a pint! Again, great people and a good stop! Thanks again to Stuart who knew the right recommendations for each stop and highly entertaining!
