5.00A wonderful adventure. Saw three interesting places. Lorna the guide was funny and enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Our driver (Safick?) was funny and pleasant too. They played off each other well. Left and returned on time, clean, modern bus. I wish the castle tickets had been included- it would’ve saved time. Lunch place was disappointing. We could only get soup (it was good) because they couldn’t produce the food fast enough to feed everyone before we had to leave. Not enough people working there, perhaps?
Very good interesting tour

5.00Some of the roads are twisty and turney. If you’re prone to motion sickness, be aware! Stuart was very informative and funny. 10/10.
Stirling Castle is the real highlight

3.00While our group enjoyed this tour it was a long day of “hop on, hop off” type of situation outside of the city. The highlight of the trip is definitely Stirling Castle, which with more research you could do on your own. Take advantage of the free guided tour when at the castle. A nice surprise stop to see some highland cows.
