The best part of the day was Sterling Castle. If you have been to Endbrough Castle this is much better. You can see how they lived and feel life here. I would not spend money on the Loch if you have done a cruise anywhere, don't waist your money spend it visiting the Castle. The Castle is the best part of the day.

The tour guide was great however this tour was not for us. The best part was Stirling Castle. The Kelpies well waste of time. Loch Lomond was nice just maybe you should add if you do t go on the boat there is nothing g for you to do for that time . The little town wasn’t much to see or do. Loved Stirling Castle and maybe combine that tour with something g else

The tour exceeded our expectations! Shug was welcoming, and concerned when I turned up with a nose bleed. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. The time at each stop was enough to get a good feel and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Thanks for a magical time!

We had an unforgettable tour experience, all thanks to our fantastic guide, STUART! From beginning to end, he was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared fascinating stories that made each stop come alive. The itinerary was well-paced, allowing us to fully appreciate each location without feeling hurried. Stuart also provided excellent recommendations for local cuisine and hidden gems. His passion and enthusiasm made the tour truly special.

We really enjoyed our trip. The Kelpies were beautiful, the Stirling Castle was amazing, and we even got to see a mama hairy coo with her newborn calf. We didn’t do the cruise on Loch Lomond. We instead decided to walk around the shore a little bit and look in the shops. There is an aquarium next to the loch, but we didn’t have time to go in. The tour guide, Sam was very informative and pleasant. We really enjoyed this experience.
