“Noah was our tour guide and he was great! We really liked the small group. We would have preferred to have more time to explore Inveraray Castle but we ran out of time because none of the places to eat opened until noon and later. We lost time waiting for that because we got there about 1130am. If you don’t pay to go inside Linlithgow Palace, there really isn’t any shops in the town while you wait for everyone else. You can go to the grocery store or Greggs for a quick bite. But, the palace grounds are gorgeous!”

“Arriving in Greenock on princess ship and very easily found the Timberbush tour guides and parking area of private tour buses. The people who previously complained about that must need their hands held every step of the way. Wee Davie was a fabulous tour guide and driver. Yes, he’s Scottish so yes he has an accent. How can you expect otherwise? But we acclimated quickly and enjoyed his very informative and educated commentary. Stirling is a quaint town and nice castle to visit. Definitely prebook castle tickets and dress in layers! Callandar was a great town to have a delicious lunch in the MHOR bread shop. Oh my the pastries…”

“Travelled with tourguide Rich, who was very professional and interesting, the company seems very well organized, instructions were clear, meeting point was easy to find as they have an office on the Royal Mile. Tourguide was entertaining and gave a lot of practical, historical and anecdotal informations to help follow through the busy schedule of the day, and give tips on what to do/ where to eat in Edinburgh once the tour was over. I personally wish there would have been more time at the Trossachs' National park, even if that meant making it a longer tour, as I understand the Stirling visit cannot be shortened really.
