Great Day even in the rain - Andy was a great tour guide. He was full of energy , very knowledgeable of Scotland and made our rainy day tour a happy one . We visited the Kelpies took some pics , went to Stirling Castle and got to explore with a tour guide and then on our own .( in the pouring rain lol) We got to visit the cows, feed them and take pics .Grab a bite to eat Then he took us to a beautiful quaint town and showed us around . All while joking around , laughing and passing on all his information regarding the history and area . We were in a comfortable van that could fit 7 , but there was only 4 of us ( my husband , myself and 2 other people from our ship ) which made it so much more personal and we all quickly got to know each other . There was bathrooms avb at each stop. And food avb to purchase along the way . We were able to leave our belongings in the van when we were exploring which was nice for the days when weather changes often . Only recommendation is bring a waterproof jacket, pants and shoes if it’s raining . There is a lot outdoors and if it’s raining you will be wet . Obviously .. But it was pouring at times for us and Andy still made the day a great one !

Scotland tour - Callum was our guide dressed in a kilt. Very knowledgeable. Enjoyed the small group. There were 5 of us. I was pleasantly surprised thought we would be on a bus of people. We had plenty of time at each stop. It was a great day!

Andy made us fall in love with Scotland! - I cannot say enough great things about this tour! Andy was an AMAZING guide!!! He was personable, fun-loving, and his passion for sharing his country with us was utterly amazing!!!! We saw the Kelpies, took a tour of Stirling Castle, saw Loch Lomond from a Scotsman’s point of view, and fed Highland Coo’s!!!!!! Andy has set the bar super high for the guides of our two upcoming tours with Shore Excursions Scotland in Edinburgh and Invergordon!!!

Just a wonderful day out in Scotland! - What a wonderful day and by far our favourite port call of the entire cruise! The castle was gorgeous and Luss is the most beautiful little village. We also stopped at Callander to meet Hamish, Holly, and Honey - this was my highlight of the day. We will definitely use Shore Excursion Scotland on our next British Isles trip.
