Stirling castle was excellent. Our guide also was excellent. The only negative is that we skipped Loch Lomond due to timing back to the ship

Anita_D

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining and we give him 5 stars. We are giving it 4 stars only because we would of liked more time at Sterling Castle.

Fabulous tour. Stuart and Andy were great! Headed us cats very well and the points of interest were amazing! Would recommend this always!

Our guide, Stuart, and our driver, Andy were fantastic. They promptly met us at the port and we were allowed to board the bus right away. Throughout the day, they were both highly professional and well-organized, keeping us on schedule and back to the ship on time. Although we had a large group (55), they managed it well and our tour was very enjoyable. We were able to pre-book our Stirling Castle tickets, allowing us to do the guided inside tour and to maximize our time there. We really enjoyed Stirling Castle, Trossachs National Park, and Aberfoyle. We loved learning about the local history and culture from Stuart's commentary. We also had a fun stop to feed and pet some Highland cattle. It was a perfect day with perfect weather. We highly recommend this tour! Thank you, Stuart and Andy for a lovely day.

Stuart was a wonderful tour guide and gave us lots of great information. The tour of Stirling was also very good but my only complaint was that we didn’t have enough time there to see the places/rooms he told us about. I should have just gone to see the places instead of listening to all of his talks. My fault. The scenery was beautiful. I would have liked to stop here and there to take pictures.

Although our weather was not so great, welcome to Scotland, our driver Stuart made the day very special for us all.

This tour was perfect. Peter was our guide and provided the perfect amount of passion. You could tell that he has much pride in his work.

We booked with Timberbush Tom picked us up at the port he was waiting for when we got off the ship. We headed straight off for a full day of adventures. We started out at Stirling Castle. This Castle and grounds were so well taken care of we learned so much about Scotland and it’s history some is pretty gruesome. Next we went to one of the many lochs the surrounding areas were stunningly beautiful, Tom was so full oh interesting stories. We were able to feed and pet highland cows they are so cute. After that we head into the highlands and we’re able to see so much of this beautiful country. Thank you Tom for a wonderful day. See you next for a tour of the Isle of sky.

First off the bus showed up only 15 minutes before the new time. After standing in the rain looking for the bus, Callum opened the door and told us to give him a minute to get settled as he had just arrived. We waited another couple of minutes in the rain. He was the worst tour guide of our trip. He pointed out a few things, took us to the places we were supposed to go, then back to the ship. The bus itself seemed have very narrow seats and was not comfortable Interestingly, if you click 3 stars or less on the review that is emailed to you, it will tell you to contact them and you are unable to leave a review. If you have 4 or 5 stars, you can write a review. That is one way to keep your reviews positive on your site!
