Day tour with fulfillment of individual wishes and super great guides - immediately booked more! - Originally we had been looking for and booked a guided tour with a German-speaking person. Beryl exceeded expectations here, as she did not move in the main tourist spots, but rather away from them. The history of Edinburgh became more alive as a result. As we liked this so much, we booked an individual day trip to Stirling the following day with a visit to the idyllic village of Dunkeld, a whiskey still with tasting and a few scenic places. The car was very spacious for a group of 6 people and Stuart a super friendly guide. At a very affordable price a top tour. When the absence of a coat was detected in the evening when returning to the accommodation pick-up location, the operator moved all levers to find it again. It was not the fault of the organizer at all. Great people, great service - gladly again!! Highly recommended!

The Tour I Would Do Again and Again - My wife and I took the Warriors & Wilderness: Braveheart Tour and were blown away by the experience. Our driver Chris was vey knowledgeable about Scotland’s history and his insights met all our expectations, and more. On top of that, he serenaded us with his kitchen bagpipes at one stop as my wife and I stared at the Scottish landscape…that was very special. Chris also provided some ideas on how to better research my family’s Scottish ancestry, which I am already utilizing. My only regret is that the experience is over. Thank you so much Chris as you truly made our trip to Scotland a trip of a lifetime.

Best day in Scotland - Stuart surpassed our expectations for this tour. He was very personable, accommodating, and just plain fun to hang out with.

A day outside Edimburgh, 100% worth it - Incredible experience!! Worth it. Spent one day visiting in detail the Scotish history. Special mention for Tam Bell, our guide, his knowledge, sympathy and easy understandable explanations, make it 110% recommended.

Stress free, accommodating and friendly, a definite winner! - Thanks to Sean for waiting for us at the Train station right by the Market St entrance so we could be off. Drove by the Kelpies as we wanted to spend our day at attractions. Did the Bannockburn experience which was worthwhile as we had walked the fields of Culloden the day before, so interesting to hear the differences and what they meant to the history of Scotland. At our request, added the Old Jail which was good because a rainy day and this was out of the rain; fun, lively experience. Saw Stirling castle and stopped for some lunch at the Cafe, then off to Doune Castle, probably my favorite stop even with the steady bad weather. After meeting a Hairy Cow and stopping for groceries, Sean then dropped us at Loch Katrine Eco Lodge Pods so we could e-bike around a beautiful Loch the next day and really experience the Highlands, The arrangements were seamless as was the day, thank you for being creative with our requested itinerary, but go easier on the chain mail next time lol.

Great tour - Not only was Stuart incredibly knowledgeable, but he was so in sync with what our group was most interested in. He made our day entertaining, fun and was able to cover all the sights we were interested in. He added some of his favorite stops and they were all incredible. A true professional and perfect guide.

We had the best time with our family and our guide! - We booked this tour, not for the Braveheart aspect as in the title, but because we felt it was the best individualized offer to see some of the Scottish countryside while visiting a few key sites with just our family/group and a guide. We were also looking for a shorter tour than most of the ones offered online that showed 12 hours or so and headed all the way to the northern part of Scotland. That's a great feature, but not one our group wanted to do or had time for. We enjoyed being out for most of the day and then back to the city for the evening to stroll around and have dinner and such. We absolutely adored our time with our tour guide, Chris, and had the best time hanging out with him and talking about history and current day events. He just happened to have his pipe with him on our adventure and we had the opportunity to hear him play which was beautiful! Visiting Stirling Castle was really great (our favorite), the Battle of Bannockburn to understand it's significance, and then Wallace Monument (for some cardio climbing the steps), and a quick stop at the Dunblane Cathedral, which was beautiful. In our group we had a 17yr old Swiftie, 2 parents of said teen, and two grandparents of said teen. Not everyone in our group could climb the 264 steps to the top of the Wallace Monument, but that was optional and we are glad we did it - enjoyed it. Everyone in our group was well engaged during the whole tour, with lots of discussion with our tour guide. We recommend this tour! Yes, this is pricier than a giant coach bus tour with 743 people you don't know, but we are so glad we made this choice for our adventures and would highly recommend to anyone else to try this option out, too. AND they pick you up and drop you off at your hotel, which was great! Laid back - sight-seeing - interesting - historical - fun - interactive - all with a personal touch.

Great experience, tremendous guide, customizable tour - Certainly my favorite tour while visiting Edinburgh. Guide was extremely knowledgeable and certainly went out of his way to make sure we hit all the locations we wanted to see (mainly castles). The tour included getting admissions into historic sites (not just drive past them like most other tours), which sold us on this tour. The van was spacious and comfy and we were able to stop for a lovely lunch. Certainly happy I booked this experience.

One of our best experiences in the UK - Tour was excellent. My daughter and I learned a lot about Scottish history and had so much fun. Our guide, Stuart was wonderful. He even took us to see parts of the Highlands. I highly recommend this tour, a must do if in Edinburgh.

Excellent Tour and Guide! - Stuart was an excellent guide. Truly a 5 Star experience! Extremely knowledgeable, personable, and flexible. We done many private tours in the UK and Europe, and Stuart is among the best guides we have ever had! The tour itself was a perfect blend of history, scenery, and good fun!
