Popular History & Heritage in Stirling Castle

Scotland is beautiful I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit the Scottish attractions outside of Edinburgh. The tour guide, Eric, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He kept telling stories about himself, Scotland and any other attractions we are going to or pass on our way. He also complemented many of his stories with a famous Scottish folklore song or one from the well-known bands of Scotland. The tour also provides some discount on the Loch Lomond cruise tickets. There was enough time to enjoy all attractions except Stirling castle. It is optional so we decided to explore the area around Stirling castle. Stirling city is beautiful but there wasn't enough time to go down the Stirling city and then up again as well so we were stuck with exploring just the area around Stirling castle. I think the tour should provide 2-2.5 hours at Stirling castle instead of 1.5 hours. A huge shout out to Eric and Timberbush tours for making it a memorable experience for us.

Loved all the sites and especially the lunch in Aberfoyle (sorry if spelt incorrectly). Had a great day and learned that perhaps I should research a little more about the history and not depend too much on the movie Braveheart!! Everyone we encountered was wonderful and friendly and a special thanks to Andy (tour guide) and Paul (castle guide) for making the trip worthwhile.

Definitely worth it if you are going to visit several castles. You have faster access to visit the castle. Unfortunately, Dunnottar Castle was not included in this pass. My suggestion is that the tickets given were simply printed on paper as a receipt. Very easy to lose or throw away. For example, a smaller ticket or pass card. And add multiple locations.

Our guide Conner was absolutely amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed his company and were sad to end the day and have to say good-bye. The combination of his knowledge of facts/history and humour were delightful and added so much more to the experience then what we had expected for the day. I would recommend this tour and Conner as the host to everyone!

We really enjoyed this interesting day with Andy, our guide. It had a little of everything- boat ride, rain squall, village lunch, cow feeding, and a very large castle, with excellent commentary and companions. Highly recommend.
