Had a great time on the tour today. Tour guide Donnie was fantastic, he gave a lot of great information, cracked a lot of jokes, and definitely made the experience enjoyable. This is the tour you need to book if you’re visiting Stirling!

Accurate visit of the old town of Stirling really very interesting and recommended. The only drawback is that the guide is local and speaks Scottish, for us Italians as for other foreigners it is difficult to understand anything. We helped ourselves with google!
Wonderful value for money & key landmarks within a fairly small geographical area

Very enjoyable, very informative. Not loads & loads of walking which makes a nice change but we saw key landmarks within a fairly small geographical area. Wonderful value for money also.

The tour was great. The tour leader was very knowledgeable and provided lots of interesting information. I would highly recommend this tour. Note that there is a fair amount of walking, mostly uphill, but that is to be expected in Old Stirling. The tour ends at the parking area for the Castle, so plan your Castle tour to begin a couple of hours after the Old Town tour begins.
