“Cancelled the night before an 8am all day tour. We can’t cancel within 24 hours but they can apparently. Created a wasted day in Edinburgh, I’d avoid this company in the future. We found out when we turned up at the office for our tour because their email system didn’t contact us. They were apologetic and showed us the email other people received and we showed them we didn’t get any alerts through email or Viator app so fair play. However we were told there were no options for other tours for the day when we asked and were told they’re not a tourist information center but we could walk…”

The only problem was our group of 9 understood very little English, and when I started translating for them the other persons in the bus got upset as they could not hear the driver as well. An audio would definitely have been a bonus for our group !”

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…”

“I don’t usually take tours, and went on this one largely because I wanted to see Stirling Castle and did not feel like messing with the train to Stirling. The tour exceeded my expectations. It was about 8 1/2 hours total, of which roughly 5 or 5 1/2 were spent on three stops. The Kelpies were much more dynamic and impressive than I expected. The Loch Lomond stop included time to do a mile long loop with beautiful views of the lake.
