Review of a small-group Glasgow tour to Stirling Castle and Loch Lomond, with a scenic cruise, Highland roads, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“Lots of opportunity to explore Stirling Castle and the cruise of Lock Lomond was nice. Ally P was knowledgeable about history and current actors & musicians. The only thing was that sometimes the mic was not near his mouth so harder to hear. We were very lucky to be at Stirling Castle to see the Highlanders in their full dress marching to the bagpipe strains. Loved the military museum as well as the rest of the castle. Driving through the Trossachs was a treat despite the winding roads. Thank you!”

“Took the tour Sunday 3rd July 2022. Connor was both the tour guide and driver on the tour which was just fabulous! Very fortunate indeed. From introducing himself prior to leaving to dropping us back, Connor was generous in shared history, stories and tales of all we were passing on the drive and more. He made the journey enjoyable and entertaining with his gentlemanly but humorless Scottish manner. His knowledge too was appreciated by all.
