What To Expect

Stirling Castle

your day begins with your Greenock shore excursion heading through to ‘Braveheart’ country, to visit Stirlingshire and Stirling Castle, arguably one of Scotland’s most important fortresses. Below the Castle, the Old Town of Stirling is still protected by its original walls, built in the 16th Century to protect Mary, Queen of Scots from Henry VIII. Here we will stop to enjoy time to tour the castle, learn all about the exploits of Robert the Bruce and the infamous Scottish Queen, and enjoy refreshments at the castle’s charming café.

1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Not Included

In the heart of the Trossachs your shore excursion will make a stop at Kilmahog to maybe see some highland cattle up close. We then journey to the village of Aberfoyle located just below the Highland faultline, to enjoy a bite to eat and time to explore.

The tour was good, however, our guide had a very strong Scottish accent and was difficult to understand. His name was Wee Davee.
Lovely day through the Lowlands to Stirling Castle

This tour exceeded my expectations. Our guide Michelle was a pro, great storyteller. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and sense of humor made a full day pass quickly. Moreover, her recommendations for lunch were spot on. Enjoyed the ride and sights along the way to the castle and there seemed just enough time at each stop. Michelle was a delightful guide and excellent driver.
Fun tour

It’s a lot of time in the bus. The tour guide was delightful if a little hard to understand. Loved the castle and coos

Poorly managed time and missed key spots. Very disappointed. No updates from host but many side stories. Have 2 more Viattor tours this week. If they are not lots better we will not be using your services ever again

Michelle was one of the best tour guides I’ve had. Made sure we were all comfortable and happy, left little treats on our seats when coming back from the bus and had umbrellas/ponchos on board. Loved the highland coo, feeding them was one of my favorite parts of my trip!
