5.00Had the best day on what ended up being an unexpected private tour due to us being the only ones to book today. John, our guide, was easily one of the best we’ve ever had. He was super knowledgeable, funny and genuinely made the whole experience amazing. We started at Stirling Castle, explored the nearby graveyard, and learned so much about Scotland’s history! Then we went to Loch Lomond, taking a scenic detour through the countryside due to a road closure. John hiked with us all the way to the viewpoints, which were absolutely stunning. We ended the day with a whiskey tour (with more great guides) and tasting at Glengoyne. It was a perfect mixture of history, nature, and local charm. Can’t recommend this enough! Thank you, John!
Really Great Experience!! 10/10!!

5.00Our guide, Jenny, took us on a very engaging and informative tour of Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond with nice hike, and the Glengoyne Distillery. She was very knowledgeable and pleasant - a great guide for a great tour! The tour duration is perfect - started around 09:00 and done by 16:30 - not too long, not too short, and enough stops to understand what the Glasgow area is like.
