Excellent introduction to the beautiful town of Stirling. Georgia provided good stories and information. Very enjoyable.

Our guide, Donnie, gave us an excellent tour of the old town. He presented the history in an entertaining and informative style. The price of the tour was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend taking this tour especially if you have no knowledge of Stirling’s history. The tour puts events and architecture in perspective and highlights many historical events. You will be doing a lot of walking with some elevations during the tour. so we chose take a cab ride up to the Old Jail to meet the tour group- then we toured the castle and walked back down hill to our hotel.

Georgia did a great job telling us about all kinds of interesting history in Stirling including the jail, war history, cemeteries and the castle. Tour was uphill but the pace made it doable for just about any one.

Jane was an amazing guide - so passionate & knowledgeable about Stirling and it’s place in Scottish history. Thoroughly enjoyed this experience and felt visiting at this time of year paid off as there were no crowds meaning this was more like a private tour as there were only 3 of us!

The pace of the tour was just right, not too fast or slow with plenty of stops for information.
