Full description

As you drive north from Edinburgh on this 9-hour excursion you’ll get chance to marvel at the engineering miracle of the Kelpies sculptures as you pass. Then, as you travel through Stirlingshire, your guide will bring to life the turbulent times of William Wallace, dramatized in the film Braveheart, and explain his link to the area you're passing through. Your first stop is the city of Stirling, where you'll have ample time to visit the stunning castle (admission not included) or enjoy a walk along the atmospheric, ancient streets that surround it. Then, journey to Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park, and make a stop on the shore of Scotland's biggest loch: Loch Lomond. You will have a chance to take in the views and stroll along the shores of the loch. Take the opportunity to visit one of Scotland's best-known distilleries, where you’ll learn how they make their whisky and get a dram of their Single Malt Whisky (optional extra).

We had a lovely day. Our guide was great. We learned a lot. Loch Lomand was our lunch stop so we didnt see much of the lake, but the weather was great and we enjoyed our time together there. Sterling Castle is extraordinary, inside and out. We thoroughly enjoyed the Auchentoshan Distillery! We didnt know what to expect but learned a lot, and would fully reccommend it. Tasting is believing!

Великолепная поездка. Гид Роб очень увлекательно все преподносит и действительно много знает об истории Шотландии. Замок Стирлинг стоит посмотреть. Также понравилась экскурсия на завод виски. А вот озеро немного разочаравало. Нету возможности нормально подойти к берегу даже для фото, всюду заборы.

Loved the tour very much. Michael was very knowledgeable and fun. Despite the Covid-19 impact in most of the region, he managed to accommodate the route and added additional views as we were a very small group and were quick to visit and covef the castle. A note to all that are considering Scotland as staycation destination, it is somehow quiet but nonetheless most of the sight can be visited and enjoyed, possibly not at full splendour as in a regular August, but a great experience definitely.
