Excellent day trip with Stewart for our party of 3 people. Stewart's a true professional - from the initial communication through the conduct of the tour, we felt well-looked after. His knowledge and expertise meant that we could sit back and just enjoy the tour as he'd organized everything including the tickets for the Falkirk wheel boat.

Amazing! You need to see the Kelpies in person to truly grasp the scale. Falkirk Wheel was fascinating. Stewart was a wonderful guide—he communicated often prior to our arrival, including booking boat trip tickets for us. I highly recommend Tartan Tours! Stewart will take care of you!
