    Phil is a fantastic guide...

    Phil is a fantastic guide who did an amazing job showing us around! We got the feed the highland cows and take pictures. Then we headed up to Stirling castle where he gave us plenty of time to explore. Next we got to see the Falkirk wheel, where we got to see it in action. Lastly we made our way to the Kelpie statues, which were marvelous. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see these amazing sights.

    Paul, our tour guide, was amazing. He was knowledgeable about each and every place we stopped, he answered all our questions, he came prepared with snacks for the cows and snacks for us too.

    We really enjoyed this tour. The Falkirk lock is an amazing piece of engineering you won't see elsewhere. The Kelpies are beautiful to see, and the castle was very interesting. They do a great job of explaining what it was like, historically, and the history of the castle itself is well explained. Our driver Shack was fantastic and the treats be provided were much appreciated.

    Wonderful 1/2 (to 3/4) day of great sightseeing with a superb guide. Martin was amazing, helped at every turn and steered us in the right direction all day. A brilliant host and guide.

    Thanks Guy, it was a pleasure to be your guide on our newly launched Stirling and Kelpies tour, you have such a nice family and Conner was the best behaved two year old I have had this year.
