This tour was great. Our guide Gal spent time getting to know our interests and then catered the tour to our interests. We had two teenagers, two adults and two seniors, and he was able to keep all of us engaged throughout the entire tour. He was knowledgeable, personable, funny, and we learned a whole lot from him.

      Such a great historical tour. We loved it. Especially since we are descendants of Robert the Bruce! Our guide was so informative and kind to my 87 year old uncle. It was his dream to see Sterling and it certainly satisfied!! Highly Recommend !!

      Simply fantastic. She knew her stuff and was a delight to learn from. Very generous with her time, too.

      Diane did a great job and took care of this really well!

      The weather made the climb on the cobble Street a little stressful and difficult. I enjoyed seeing the town of Stirling.

      Optimize your time in Old Towne Stirling and the Castle

      Well worth your time. In 3 hours you learn the highlights of the significant historical sites of Stirlings Old Towne and then breeze into the castle and have a personal guide in the castle. Much better than wandering around not really knowing what you are seeing.

      What an amazing experience!

      Very friendly guide with good knowledge of Stirling, the castle and Scot history. Walked us through the castle allowing us to take time to absorb it all.
