What To Expect
Stirling Castle
Stirling Castle is one of Scotland’s most historically important sites and was once a favoured residence of the Stewart kings and queens who held grand celebrations at the castle. Knights, nobles and foreign ambassadors once flocked to Stirling Castle to revel in its grandeur with its superb sculptures and beautiful gardens. It was a favoured residence of the Stewart kings and queens who held grand celebrations from christenings to coronations. Today you can meet the costumed characters in the roles of bodyguards, court officials, maids of honour and servants who will welcome you into 16th century life. Families can have fun in the palace vaults where children can try out activities such as dressing in period costume and playing medieval instruments. Don’t miss a guided tour with knowledgeable staff who will bring the castle’s infamous characters and history to life in great detail. Other highlights include the Great Hall, Chapel Royal, Castle Exhibition and Regimental Museum.
Deanston Distillery & Visitor Centre
Located on the banks of the River Teith and started life back in 1785 as a cotton mill until 1966 where it transformed into today’s distillery, the only distillery in Scotland to be self-sufficient in electricity with its power coming from the River Teith.

5.00We had a great day in the Highlands with Stephanie! She was ontime to pick us up and was super easy to find when we walked out of the cruise terminal. The large van was super clean and comfortable. She had water waiting for us as well. She took us out to Luss and Loch Lomond which was such a beautiful and charming area. She also took care of making reservations for us for lunch at Riverview Restaurant, which was outstanding. She told us all about the areas we were passing through and even managed to take us to see some Highland "coos" because she knew how much my daughter loved the coos. She had us back at the port in plenty of time to get back on the ship and she did a great job of watching the clock for us the entire day. We would definitely book with Stephanie and this company again!
Fabulous tour!

5.00I highly recommend this company! Their communication is exceptional, and their tour agents are incredibly friendly. They answered all my questions in advance, ensuring I knew exactly what to expect on the day of our tour. Our guide, Stephanie, was wonderful—possibly one of the kindest individuals I've ever met. She is extremely knowledgeable and made our day thoroughly enjoyable. I can't praise this tour enough. The ride was very clean and very comfortable. We loved the highland cows, Stirling Castle, and Loch Luss. The lunch was lovely. Stephanie also made sure we were back in plenty of time for our cruise. Book with this company, and you won't regret it!
Great trip!

5.00Our guide Peter was exceptional: he provided interesting and humorous historical and cultural insights throughout the tour. We toured at our own, somewhat relaxed pace, yet the customized itinerary ensured that we saw all of the sites - both the ones we knew we wanted to see as well as the ones that Peter recommended. We had a marvelous lunch at the Birds & the Bees - delicious Scottish salmon, among other great dishes - and chose the Doune Castle option rather than the distillery. Overall, a wonderful and memorable day!
