5.00Well worth your time. In 3 hours you learn the highlights of the significant historical sites of Stirlings Old Towne and then breeze into the castle and have a personal guide in the castle. Much better than wandering around not really knowing what you are seeing.
What an amazing experience!

5.00Well worth the money! Georgia was our guide and she altered the pace for us (70 yrs old) and was incredibly knowledgeable on the history of Stirling. We learned a great deal that a guide book would. not show us. Well worth the money!
Great guide
