Loch, Castle and Coos! - We thoroughly enjoyed seeing so much of the beauty outside of the city of Glasgow. We learned a lot from our knowledgeable guide Jack. Loved the Loch Lomond boat ride, beautiful and informative. We had a great visit in town and then got to feed the “hairy coos”. That may have been my favorite part! The castle was beautiful and we took a walk around the town. Great way to spend a day!

Breathtaking - Breathtaking! A cross between North Carolina and Colorado. We came through in March and I can only imagine what the scenery is like here in the summer and fall. We were able to see a tremendous variety of flora and fauna, from vast swatches of some of the largest daffodils I have ever seen, to wild Scottish Red Deer, which look similar to a North American Elk. The weather, while cold and damp, was almost perfect for the time of year we visited. This is a bucket list item, for sure!

Truly Enchanting! - I highly recommend it to anyone who loves history, architecture, and breathtaking scenery! Visiting the castle felt like stepping into a fairy tale. The stunning stone walls, grand towers, and beautifully preserved interiors were awe-inspiring. Walking through the halls where history was made was truly a special experience.

Gaidrew Cottage - the perfect home from home - Gaidrew Cottage, Drymen, Loch Lomond & Trossachs We stayed in this beautifully presented cottage which is let through Sykes last year. Fiona is the perfect host, very welcoming and friendly and her welcome tray is the best we’ve ever had, with lots of home made goodies and many other treats too. The cottage is extremely well presented, very comfortable and warm & cosy. It is spotlessly clean throughout. With the added benefit of a beautiful garden and outlook and lovely walks through Fiona’s land down to the river where we watched Sand Martins and spotted an Osprey – magical. We are very much looking forward to our return visit in May this year.

Recommended! - The tour was very well organised. It started with a stop at Loch Lomond, with the opportunity to either take a short cruise of the lake or visit the village of Bulloch. We then drove through the Trossachs National park, with its breathtaking landscapes, to stop in the lovely Callander, where we had an hour to enjoy luch in one of the local restaurants. The next stop was at Stirling Castle, where we stayed for two hours - time enough to explore every corner of the castle. We also find some little spare time for the Kelpies, originally not in program, before driving back to Glasgow. Our driver/guide, Marc B, was impeccable. As friendly as knowledgeable, he entertained us with gaelic tips and very intertersting stories and pieces of history about the places we were visiting throughout the day. Very nice and enjoyable also the playlist he selected for the trip. A five star experience!

Choose Rabbi tours instead! - Viator can yelled less than 24 hrs ahead of my planned tour which I had prepaid, bought a train ticket just to get into Glasgow to meet them, etc. Note that if the CUSTOMER cancels less than 24 hrs, they get zero refund. I made this RSVP 2 months ago. If Viator doesn't have enough people, surely they know this earlier than less than a day before their customers have teady planned their whole trip around their tours. Not at all what I expected after reading their reviews. I highly recommend Rabbi's tours--amazing and nuch smaller groups. I will be cancelling the 6 Viator tours i have planned for Portugal in the next 2 weeks.
