Sophie was amazin'! She got us threaded through the nasty Edinburgh traffic, all the while giving us interesting and funny anecdotes. The Kelpies were truly weird - they have to be experienced up close and personal. Loch Lomond is everything the sentimental song says it is. I get misty just thinking back on it. Finally, Stirling Castle. What can you say? It's big, it's ornate, it's made from lots of rocks. Absolutely breathtaking. Better than Edinburgh Castle, even. A fantastic time at a great price!

We took a total of two tours (Loch Ness & Stirling Castle) the week we were in Edinburgh and our tour guide, Dusty, was awesome. We loved his stories and tales of history during both trips. Overall we couldn’t ask for a better trip or tour guide to show us some of Scotland’s most beautiful spots. Thank you for the memories!!

I did this tour solo in July. Allie P. was a fantastic tour guide and driver. She was very knowledgeable and had a great road trip play list. We were lucky to have beautiful weather, and a polite, friendly group in the coach. The amounts of times at the stops were appropriate, and you especially had enough time to see Stirling Castle as well as the town of Stirling. Loch Lomond was stunning. You had enough time for a very short hike that gave you a taste of what it would be like to come back and spend a whole day. All in all, the tour was well worth the money, and I had a lovely day.

Cold bus for first leg til ac turned off. Otherwise good trip. Kelpies v good. Loch Lomond needs a spot with better views. Stirling castle interesting but heavily renovated with little original/contemporary furnishings. Guide Dusty was great. Good chat throughout. Very knowledgeable

The tour lacked information and storytelling. It basically consisted in a drive around sights with the final destination being Stirling castle. No tour or basic context of the history of the castle or village was provided. The tour was booked with two audio guides in Spanish. Unfortunately the agency does not provide any guidance on how to use them or even how to follow the tour guide through the trip and understand the meaning and story behind the sights. On one of the stops, the tour guide was going to guide us through a “walk”. It was a trekking path, he provided no information on the conditions of the road so we could assess our ability and left us in the middle of the path with little explanation on how to get to the final destination. Overall, a poor service an border line irresponsable. I do believe that the tour guide makes all the difference, I booked a tour with the same company the day before and the guide was excellent. I hope they can improve the service.

I don’t usually take tours, and went on this one largely because I wanted to see Stirling Castle and did not feel like messing with the train to Stirling. The tour exceeded my expectations. It was about 8 1/2 hours total, of which roughly 5 or 5 1/2 were spent on three stops. The Kelpies were much more dynamic and impressive than I expected. The Loch Lomond stop included time to do a mile long loop with beautiful views of the lake. The stop at Stirling Castle was the longest and gave plenty of time to see the castle, take in views of the mountains and Bannockburn battlefield, eat a bit of lunch and see the Holy Rude, a late medieval church and cemetery beside the castle. The tour was well worth the time and money.

Tour was misrepresented as it said we would have an hour to shop in Stirling. That would only occur if you walked 15 min all the way back down the hill to the town and all the way back up to the castle as that is where the bus stayed. Tour company should not write you have that option and make it look like it is a stop on the tour. That is why I had taken this particular tour as there are many companies doing the same one. Driver/guide was very good.

Very good and the tour guide was explaining things well Wish it was longer l, cheaper and if it includes the fees for the castle

Your guide was an absolute treasure. Loved her stories and loved her personality. Patient with all, knowledgeable, friendly and just lovely!

I had a one day tour with Haggis Adventures and liked it a lot. The only reason I rated it 4 and not 5 was that our driver/guide made some mistakes while telling us history of Scotland and Mary Queen of Scots. All other stuff was great. Make sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes if you plan on hiking near Loch Lomond.
