Our driver was great - very friendly and full of knowledge of the area. The van was super cozy, so it was a great way to tour the sites. It was nice not having to stress about driving, where to park, etc. They took care of everything including booking a nice restaurant for lunch. We had a lovely day touring Stirling Castle and Wallace Monument. Our driver also took some nice detours to show us some great photo opportunities. Highly recommended.

Our driver William was wonderful. He was informative and very personable. He adjusted our trip to meet our interests of more historical sites (we omitted the Kelpies and added two additional castles). The countryside is beautiful. While driving we discussed politics, Brexit, the next Scottish referendum, the British economy and Scottish History. All in all it was a wonderful day. We highly recommend it.
