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!

Wonderful tour of the area - Like any tour, it’s only as good as the guide and ours, Stuart, was fantastic. We had a small group of 12 on the tour in a van that fit 16, which really personalized the experience. I know they have bigger fleets so maybe call and ask the size of the bus before booking if this matters to you. We did the Loch Lomond/Stirling Castle tour and he gave relevant history about the area, fun facts and played some great Scottish songs between talking. It was raining torrentially and extremely windy and he maneuvered the small winding roads tremendously well. Nobody wanted to do the boat tour due to the weather so we stopped in Luss instead. This was my favorite part of the tour as we still got to see Loch Lomond but also walk a quaint little village which I throughly enjoyed. It is worth asking to include this stop on the tour vs the boat if everyone agrees. We had to skip Aberfoyle due to severe flooding up to our thighs but he let us take photos at a smaller spot little bit up the road which was great and the drive through the Trossachs is stunning and plenty of time at each stop. Stirling castle is an additional cost ~£16 per person, but I thought it worth it. A fantastic trip and great driver/guide!

Review - Marc was an amazing guide! He had thought of every detail and ensured that we were having a great time. A highlight of the trip was seeing the highland cows, even though, Marc mentioned that it may be difficult to see given the winter season. Marc was prepared for this moment with carrots for us to feed them. Highly recommend!

Very well organised trip - Very well organised trip. Driver Marc B was very friendly and welcoming. He entertained us during the trip with stories, little gems and curiosities about Scottish history. We stopped in a lovely town for lunch and visiting the Stirling Castle was the highlight of the trip for me!

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.
