• Not enjoyable and overpriced

  Lack of communication, lack of knowledge of the local history, overpriced for what you get. Just not an enjoyable experience. This is poorly run and no organisation at all.

• Poorly managed and unsafe

  This TRIPorganiser tour was a disaster from start to finish. The main reason we booked it was to visit Doune Castle and Dunblane Cathedral — but unbelievably, we missed both. Due to poor planning and time management by the guide, we arrived at Doune Castle after it had closed and were denied entry. No backup plan, no solution — just standing outside locked gates. Then, we found out we were also too late to visit Dunblane Cathedral. Missing one key stop is bad enough — missing both is inexcusable. When the guide realized we were behind schedule, he began driving erratically — speeding through roads, and even texting while driving. It was reckless and made several of us feel genuinely unsafe. To make matters worse, the guide wasn’t from Scotland and had only a very limited understanding of the local history. The commentary was shallow and added little to the experience. This tour was a waste of time, poorly run, and dangerously executed. I cannot recommend it to anyone — and I sincerely hope the company takes steps to train its guides, prioritize customer safety, and stick to the promised itinerary.

  This is a great tour and well worth it. Personal touches, go at your speed, and the day was well connected in tell the story of the time. Plus you get to see it with your own eyes.

  Chris was excellent. Lovely fellow and knew his topic. Went with my wife, mother and 3 children and he was able to cater for all of us.

  I really enjoyed this trip. The views were breathtaking and the Battle Of Bannockburn a very interesting experience. The Kelpies are a must see. Our driver Tam was very knowledgeable and he was always on time on both our trips with him.

• Outstanding day trip

  If you are a battle history buff, then this tour gives you lots to see. Stops at 4 monuments/castles plus the views and stories on the drive to each stop. Our tour guide Chris was delightful to visit with throughout the day (he has a wicked wit, which kept us laughing). There was a surprise bonus when we found out the final castle was the filming site for a funny little movie celebrating 50 years in 2025 (coconuts, Ni, flesh wound, 😂). This was a wonderful day; thanks, Chris!!!

• Great Day Trip

  We covered a lot of ground today. It was a very interesting tour and we saw so much. Tam was a great guide. We enjoyed this very much and would recommend it to others.
