A true nightmare

Danielle_L, Sep 2025

DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR!!! Yes, you can visit Stirling Castle but after that, nothing in the description is true! No guide, nor A/C on the bus and no respect of the itinary! We had one day and it was totally ruined! And after that, silence radio from the tour and from Viator. Keep your money and book with someone else, they are awful.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear Danielle Unfortuantely teh guide allocated for this service had to cancel at teh last minute, due to illness. Our customer Service team is in teh process of contacting guests to discuss compensation.

Chaotic

Khang_N, Aug 2025

-no tour guide, just the driver -meeting point was not labeled, causing a lot of confusion -driver was not aware of the itinerary -no AC on the bus in the summer heat -received about 10 emails in the past week regarding this trip

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Good Morning, Unfortunately due to ill health we had to operate this service with a Driver acting as Driver-Guide. I will be responding to you directly to identify the issues you had.

We were looking forward...

Jack_S, Aug 2025

We were looking forward to this excursion however it was cancelled the day before because a group had cancelled that were on our bus. We were very disappointed but what can you do.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Good Morning, we are very sorry we had to cancel your Shore excursion, but we were let down at the last minute by a large group. Our sincere apologies

Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond in a day

John_D, Jul 2025

Great day out despite the Scottish weather tipping rain on us constantly! Both interesting places to visit and our guide Moria was excellent and very knowledgeable

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Sorry we couldn't do anything about the weather, but pleased that Moira our Guide shared her vast wealth of knowledge with you!

Loved the castle, but the tour was disorganized

John_B, Jul 2025

The castle is a must see! The grounds and castle are very stunning and beautiful. However, the tour seemed very disorganized. The entry ticket for the castle is not included in the tour. It was an extra cost that we purchased ahead of time. Many people didn't buy the tickets ahead of time and were made to believe it was mandatory to buy them instead of just waiting outside the castle. In addition, there appeared to be more than one company involved with the bookings so the tour guide had no idea who purchased entry tickets. It took a bit of time to sort things out before we could enter the castle. I think the tickets to enter the castle should be included in the tour to avoid the confusion. In the end, it is worth going to see the castle.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Hi John, Apologies if there was any confusion on the day as to who ahd tikcets and who didnt. Entry is optional, some guests just prefer to wander around teh exterior rather than visit the interior rooms. We believe giving guests the choice is important, especially those that may have mobility issues. I do hope that this did not detract from your overall enjoyment of the tour.

Do Not Book This Tour

Linda_B, Jun 2025

The guide was late, and the bus was later - making the entire excursion an hour late taking off. We were lied to, as well, and received no apology. We didn't feel safe or confident in their ability to get us baxk to the ship on time. We felt we had to purchase a tour from another company. Here we are 3 days later, and absolutely zero follow up on our request for a refund. Others in our ship waited, and we heard the first bus broke down at the terminal, so they had to wait almost another hour. The tour then skipped all of the stops, and only went to Stirling castle, but they were not permitted to go in, even if they had pre-ourchased tickets. Horrible customer service, and not a trustworthy tour company.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Hi Linda , Which date was this tour? As I will discuss this with the guide.

Excellent tour. Great...

ETse_L, Jun 2025

Excellent tour. Great guide and driver. Visited many places and made it back to the ship in time despite our late start which was caused by some passengers.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Many thanks! I am so pleased you enjoyed the tour! It is lovely way to see Stirling castle, the Trossachs and amazing scenery.

Great tour

Hi Sandi! Very many thanks for your kind review. I will pass on your comments to our Guide.

Stirling Castle with lunch and a scenic tour.

DONALD_E, May 2025

Our ship didn't disembark on time but Richard and Jim waited and still gave us the full trip. Richard was very insightful and provided us with a lot of great information and narration along the way. The Castle was a bit challenging given some issues we had (Achilles injury and bad backs) so we could have used a little more time there, but it's probably enough for folks more mobile than us. Lunch was at a nice little town with plenty of restaurants but if you went to a busy one you were probably rushed a bit. They did take us on a back route through the highlands which was beautiful. All in all a good experience. Richard was awesome.

Response from Host, May 2025

Very many thanks for your kind comments. I will pass these on to Richard!

Great experience. Wanted a tour with Stirling “and then some” and this worked for us. Our ship arrived at port late and the Your Shore Time group worked with us to ensure we got our trip done. Unfortunately this cut the time at the castle a little bit but we still got most or all of it done. YST made sure we made it back to the boat on time.
