The tour was terrific. Our driver, Brian was very courteous, informative, and fun. He got us into a private farm to see the cow close-up., Then we went to the kelpies, and he walked with us to explain the story, after he added a side trip to see the Falkirk Wheel in action, before going onto Glasgow to see the cathedral and the murals. It was an exceptional tour that I can highly recommend.

The truth wasn't worth it. From the beginning we said that what we were most interested in was seeing the hightland cows and it only took us to a place where there were two. He drove super rough and was rude to other drivers, I ordered a luxury car to go more comfortable, but the guide's driving style ruined everything.
Cows and horses
