The perfect way to explore Stirling

5.00I had a fantastic walking tour of Stirling with Beth. She was very knowledgeable, engaging, and explained the history in a relaxed and enjoyable way. Even though it was raining and the tour ended up being just the two of us, she made it a really special experience. I learned a lot and had a great time exploring the city. Highly recommended!

5.00I had an absolutely wonderful walking tour in Stirling with Beth. Because of the rain everyone else had cancelled, so it ended up being just the two of us – which made the experience even more special. Beth was incredibly knowledgeable and shared the history of Stirling in a very engaging and relaxed way. It never felt like a lecture, but more like walking through the city with someone who truly loves telling its stories. I learned a lot and had a genuinely great time. I would highly recommend a tour with Beth to anyone visiting Stirling!

5.00Very interesting and engaging tour from Diane. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. Lots of great anecdotes and history. Highly recommended. We visited as part of the Stirling City Pass and visited the Castle after, which was great as Diane has given us good context on that and the city generally.
Fascinating!

5.00What an interesting tour! Although it was windy and cold, and raining off and on, Donnie was an engaging, knowledgeable, and friendly guide. He knew so much about Stirling, being born and raised there, providing many interesting stories and historical facts. I would definitely book again and highly recommend the tour. It was a great overview of the city and we hit all the highlights. Thanks Donnie!

5.00Accurate 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

5.00Very 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.
