“We had a fantastic guide named Jamie. We had originally booked the tour based on a particular distillery however we got to the tour and learned it was cancelled we went to a modern day one. Disappointing we really wanted to see one of the older ones. No decent views at Loch lomand unless you are prepared to walk 30 mins up a steep hill unguided. We arrived at the Stirling Castle too late to have a guided tour had to wander around on our own. Our guide never joined us throughout the day. He literally just drove the bus. He was very knowledgeable however.”

“As I said, I normally hate guided tours. Starting with that, this one was perfect. Small group so the normal issues that arise with mob mentality did not occur. It was just my wife, another couple, and our wonderful guide, Phil. I picked this tour because it seemed to have more time spent out of the coach and I was right.
