I took this tour on July 10, 2026. My tour guide was Chris. And he was fantastic! The tour itself is wonderful-- very informative and insightful. The sights and information provided about everything was wonderful. Chris did a great job providing foundational knowledge of what the tour sites were about. And he effectively communicated how everything tied in together in Scottish history. Very nice! Highly recommended!
Great trip with our guide Brodie. Informative and funny. Nice pace and comfortable van. Remember to purchase your tickets to Sterling Castle beforehand.
Hello William, Thank you for the lovely review, we're please to hear that Brodie was able to make your experience even more enjoyable with his impeccable sense of humour. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future! Lucy Cheng Highland Experience
Lee was very helpful, especially because one of us had mobility issues. I think our favourite part was Dunfermline Abbey, followed by Rosslyn Chapel. Stirling Castle was just too big to explore in a couple of hours, though lunch at the Unicorn cafe was great. My only suggestion would be to include all entry tickets, as we never got the email about booking them beforehand, and had to scramble to book them online en route.
Hello, I'm glad hear that you enjoyed most of your trip! Thank you for your honest review, It really helps us to improve our future tours. We will take into account your suggestions on the itinerary. In terms of the tickets we do send out an email with all the information required prior to the tours, we may however experience technical issues. We will look into other ways on passing on this kind of information, as we know that it can be stressful as is to be somewhere unfamiliar. So we do try to make it as easy for you as possible, in hopes to not add to the stress of traveling. Thank you again for your feedback. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, Lucy Cheng Highland Experience

Hello Andrew, Thank you for your review! What would a tour be without its history? This is why we are soo grateful for our guides. With Hugh being a veteran we feel it just makes the experience that much more special. We take pride in our guides and their pasts, as their experiences add to the tours and makes them just that much more personal. We hope to welcome you back in the future.

Dougie is funny, organized, and answers any questions. Lovely day with plenty of stops and sights, jokes
Our tour guide had a lot of good tidbits of information as we drove along. The cost of the tour plus buying tickets to Stirling Castle was a little pricey, but the 3 locations and their history were very interesting. Dunfermline Abbey was a self guided tour, Stirling Castle had the largest crowds, but it was easy to hear and follow the guide there, and the guide at Rosslyn Chapel was excellent.
A great day tour of some key sights. The highlight would be Rosslyn Chapel. The tour guide Alex was awesome. To get out of Edinburgh for the day, this tour is well worth it.
A wonderful day altogether. The bus was comfortable and the driver excellent! Well organized and tons of information shared.

Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back on tour with us again soon! Kind regards, Siobhan Highland Experience Tours
My 2nd time in Scotland. I’ve gone on 6 group tours out of Edinburgh to other destinations. The daytrip to Dunfermline Abbey, Bannockburn, Stirling Castle and Rosslyn Chapel was the most engaging one thanks to our tour guide, Rose. It was such a treat to have a master storyteller! She explained the local history in such an entertaining way and also played culturally relevant music. We spent a reasonable time at each location and didn’t feel rushed. My family and I learned so much about William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, Stirling Castle and the mysterious lore of the Knights Templar’s connection to Rosslyn Chapel. The castle and chapel admission fees are a separate charge but well worth the time and money! We arrived promptly back at Edinburgh. I highly recommend Rose and the Highland Experience tour company. 10/10
