5.00Our group of 4 had an absolutely fantastic private day tour to Sterling Castle, Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies. From start to finish the experienced exceeded our expectations. Our guide Darryl was professional, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about sharing Scotland with us. He had a couple of surprises that made our day perfect ! Thanks Darryl for a wonderful day! Wish we could have stayed longer and booked another tour.
Fantastic tour with a great guide. Genuine Scottish gentleman who showed us some really cool places.

5.00We had a great time and saw some beautiful sights on Darryl’s tour. Stirling castle is amazing and so rich in history. The highland “coos” are very sweet being able to feed them was super fun. So glad we chose Darryl’s tour. He showed us a cool local spot for pastries and coffee and had a great recommendation for lunch. He takes care of his guests and adds humor and knowledge about beautiful Scotland all along the way. Highly recommend this tour.
