Shak was our tour guide and led us on a fantastic tour. He was very accommodating to our needs, especially as we had young children, and provided excellent recommendations throughout. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared many interesting insights. I would highly recommend him and his company!
Many thanks Saif for your wonderful review, Shak will be pleased you mentioning him by name.
The tour was very good, the guide was informative without being boring, we did a small tour of the city of Glasgow, because we prefer not to take a boat tour. Our visit to Stirling Castle was in our time, without rush. I recommend private tours, we are much more comfortable.
Foi um prazer ter-vos nesta excursão e o nosso guia Simon disse que passou um dia muito agradável convosco. Muito obrigado e até à próxima!
