Incredible tour

N_S, Dec 2024

The tour was amazing, got to see everything in as described, plus more! Due to the extreme weather (subzero C's temps) the canals in the Wheel were frozen so the boat trip was canceled, and...I am happy it was. I still got to see the wheel, and from what I gathered the boat trip's kinda boring. You get in a boat, you go up the wheel forward about ~ 1km, back, down that's it. Instead as we had extra time the tour guide (I am absolutely horrible with names so I'll call the guy "the guy from Latvia" suggested and we went and saw 2 more castles that would have otherwise not been in the list of things to see! And if you ask me...silly boat ride vs more castles....the castles win hands down! In addition to that "the guy from Latvia" was a fountain of information both of and about the sites we were visiting and in general about Scotland, recommendations of what I could see in Edinburgh and after during the rest of my trip in Scotland and so on and so forth and very friendly overall. Highly recommended.

30 out of 5 stars!

We had such a fun time with Ed, out tour guide. He was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable, and the vehicle was very clean and comfortable. The castles were so interesting and we had a great time. We'd recommend to anyone and would definitely book with him again!

Ed was a great guide and...

Ed was a great guide and driver. He is very knowledgeable. He accommodated our request to stop by at Kelpies before our Stirling Castle tour. We really had great time and enjoyed every part of this tour.

Great tour

Matthew_R, Jul 2024

This was a great tour combining Scottish history with new Scottish ingenuity. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about Scottish history and gave us great insight into the buildings. I would reccomend. All spots in this tour were fantastic.

Best Tour!!

Perfect tour for a small group! We skipped Falkirk Wheel, and went to William Wallace Monument instead.

Fantastic tour

Dottie_C, Sep 2023

Ed picked us up on time to start the day. His knowledge of Stirling and Doune castle made the history of both easy to understand. The Falkirk wheel is definitely something to see. We all had a great time.
