My husband, son and I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Alex was fantastic. He provided us with so much information and was a pleasure to listen to! Stirling Castle was definitely the highlight of this tour. It was so well maintained -it was truly like a step back in time. The distillery tour was informative and the whiskey was delicious. It is hard for us to find inclusive tours with our six year old- we appreciated the fact that kids were welcomed and that it held his attention. The only reason I would give this four stars is because of the area of Loch Lomond we were able to see. It was beautiful but the location we were at didn’t do it justice (despite being close to the visitors center). I will say the food from the coffee shop was delicious! Try the macaroni and cheese pie and hot cheese sandwich with haggis and you won’t be disappointed! Overall, we had a great day and would recommend!!

Alex, our guide was very knowledgeable and always ready to answer questions. Bus was comfortable and destinations very nice. 90 minutes at Loch Lomond was really too short since the place is beautiful.
