5.00Perfect day trip. The optional cruise at the Loch Lomond was amazing. The bus was clean and comfortable. Our guide/driver, John was nice and fun story teller. We purchased the audio guide at the Stirling castle (online) but the wireless signal 5G/LTE was poor at the site and the app didn’t get download. My recommendation is to purchase it a head of time and download it before get there.
