We had a charming stay in Stirling in this beautiful and tastefully decorated apartment. Every detail has been carefully chosen to match the character of the historic building and the atmosphere of the old town. The apartment is spacious, full of charm, and offers a stunning view of the cathedral right from the window. Our host was incredibly thoughtful, with many kind touches that made us feel very welcome. A truly memorable stay — highly recommended!

We spent 3 hours great in a good atmosphere with our guide Aude, discovering the old town. Very clear in the information given, listening to our questions and requests. I recommend for people who are discovering Edinburgh or those who have already been but would like to know more. Thank you so much for this moment.
It's a shame.

Very average visit... Our guide, Jack, was friendly and told us some funny anecdotes about the old town, but the pace was generally very slow, he repeated several times the same thing (to furnish the 2 hours maybe?), and when asked historical questions, he delivered rough or frankly false information. It's a shame, the experience not being given you expect a professional guide and not a student on vacation.
At the top excellent
