Another great tour with Highland Experience! This time, we visited Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond, and the Kelpies. Chris, our guide, was just as professional as Steven B. was the previous day. Thank you, guys—you made my little trip unforgettable. I can’t wait to be back in a few weeks!
Hi there, It is lovely to hear that you have chosen us again to help you explore this beautiful country, and I am so happy to hear you have enjoyed the storytelling and service from Chris, as well as Steven B. We are very proud of our guides and their dedication to delivering great days out for our guests, and will be sure to pass along the positive feedback. Thank you for choosing Highland Experience Tours, and we look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit! All the best, Holly Highland Experience Tours
It's a wee bus travel that feels up one's soul of good energy (even when there's a bit of sad ending for the history and stories. The travelling time between attractions isn't long and the bus driver is talking about local attractions and stories. So there's no boring parts. I got Rose as the driver. Who is a wonderful and lovely woman, with a vast knowledge of the local history,and will help you out in anything she can. Rose, you're a legend thank you very much for the wonderful tour, and for keeping us all safe with your driving. The boat tour (which is optional) was also wonderful. I strongly advise to take that tour. The views from the boat on the lake are marvelous. Keep in mind you can only pay in cash to the bus driver.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that Rose made your day so special. She’ll be delighted to hear your kind words—we certainly agree that she’s a legend! 😊 It’s wonderful to know that you enjoyed the stories and local history along the way, and that there was never a dull moment on the journey. We’re also glad you took the optional boat trip and enjoyed those beautiful views from the water. Thank you for recommending us and for sharing your helpful tip about payment for the boat tour. We hope to see you again on another Highland adventure! Holly Highland Experience Tours
This was a lovely day trip. I’d highly recommend it. I had Rose as our driver and she was a great story teller and guide 10/10. It was definitely worth the $$ and would book again.
My husband and I booked the Stirling castle/Loch Lomond & whiskey experience. Our tour guide and story teller was Rose. She is 5 star. Her tales - folklore and factual - made the trip to and from an extra experience. She knows the roads, the history, the lore and everything in between. I'd recommend asking for her. ROSE is the one.!
Hi there, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that you had such a lovely time on tour with us getting to experience the amazing history, culture and scenery that Scotland is famous for. We always love to hear about how our guides and drivers have made guests time with us even more memorable. I will make sure to pass your kind comments on to Rose! Thank you again for travelling with us, and we hope to welcome you back to the Highlands for another adventure soon! Many thanks, Highland Experience Tours
We had an incredible time on this tour! Our guide, John S., was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Scottish history. He gave us fascinating insights into both the sites we visited and Scotland’s past. The day began with a whisky tour, where we tasted three distinct types and learned all about the distillation process. Afterward, we stopped for lunch at Loch Lomond—highly recommend trying the locally caught haggis, a true Scottish delicacy! Our final stop was the stunning Stirling Castle, which is beautifully preserved and rich in history. On the drive back to Edinburgh, John wrapped up the experience by tying everything together with stories and historical context from the day. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a perfect mix of culture, scenery, and storytelling!
Hi there, Thank you for your fantastic review! I’m delighted to hear you had such a memorable time on your tour with John S. It sounds like he did a wonderful job sharing his passion for Scottish history and making the day both insightful and enjoyable. Thank you for choosing Highland Experience Tours. I hope to welcome you back for more adventures in the future! Kind regards, Cameron Highland Experience Tours
We had a day tour from Edinburgh to a distillery in Glasgow, Loch Lomond and Stirling Castle and it was very good. Iain was our guide and the trip with him was so good! The tour is well structured, you have enought time in the stops to see everything and his explanations were superb! He also explained some jokes and insights which made the trip very funny and entertaining. He was super fun and even had a playlist with scottish songs for us to hear. He had good recommendations not only for the places we were visiting but also for Edinburgh. You can tell that when a guide is passionate about his country, the experience is going to be great. Definitely would book again with this company!
Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I’m really glad to hear you had such a great time on your day tour with Iain. He’s truly passionate about Scotland, and it’s fantastic that his knowledge, humour, and even his Scottish playlist made the day so memorable for you. We’re happy to hear the itinerary gave you plenty of time to enjoy each stop—Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond, and a distillery all in one day is quite the adventure! We'd be delighted to welcome you back for another tour whenever you're ready to explore more. Kind Regards, Cameron Highland Experience Tours
Amazing private tour with this company, reasonable price and brand new Mercedes car. Excellent tour guide and super safe driver. Very knowledgeable. Paul must be a big asset for the company, would recommend him to all my friends and family.
Hello there Christian, Thanks very much for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable time on tour with Paul! We hope that you enjoyed the rest of your time in Scotland. Kind regards, Chloë, Highland Experience Tours
It definitely helps to have a knowledgeable guide to make the most of your time in Edinburgh. We enjoyed our visit. The Whisky Tour was very informative about the process and the history of how whiskey came about in the region. Even if you are not crazy about whiskey, it's worth attending the tour. You can take just a sip, not at all, or enjoy the full tasting. Loch Lomond was a nice break for lunch in the afternoon. Our most enjoyable spot was Stirling Castle, of course. We wish we had more time to see everything!
Where do I start… first off, the tour started 15 minutes late (because of traffic, they said, but 5 other tour buses were on time…), with minimal apology for the delay or info as to when the bus was due to arrive. The distillery tour, which should have been part of the tour and not an extra since there is absolutely nothing else to do at this distillery, was very simplistic and with very little guidance from the distillery staff was provided (other distilleries do much better). The pause at Loch Lomond was nice, but was no more than a lunch stop. There was no photo stop or toilet pauses other than this on the tour, even if some passengers requested it Stirling Castle was the highlight of the tour but, unfortunately, this stop (90 minutes) was way too short to really take in this sight. Throughout the tour, the info provided by our guide/driver was fine but very sparse. It almost felt like we were shuttled from one place to another in a city bus Very disappointed with the experience, considering this was our first tour with this provider: other providers during our stay in Scotland fared MUCH better
Hi Guy, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond & Whisky Tour. We are surprised to read your comments, as this is one of our most popular and well-loved day tours. We apologise for the delay to the start of your tour and we appreciate your patience. Traffic is not uncommon at Edinburgh and the roads can become blocked unexpectedly. The whisky tour is an optional extra as not everyone drinks whisky, and some are traveling with small children for example. If you did not wish to visit the distillery, you could have visited the wonderful Riverside Transport Museum, with free entry and a spectacular collection. We believe the stop at Loch Lomond provides an excellent base to grab lunch and take part in a nature walk, and grab some photos of the stunning views! We hope you enjoyed your lunch there. We appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the amount of time spent at Stirling Castle. There is so much history to take in there, not to mention the fantastic views. We give you enough time to grab coffee, take a guided tour, and explore some of the rooms on your own before heading back to the bus, but we will certainly look into ways to maximise the time spent in Stirling. Our driver guides will try to keep you entertained with music, stories, and Scottish History on the way but we are sorry the guiding did not meet your standards. At Highland Experience, we are always looking for ways to improve and we appreciate all constructive feedback. We hope you will give us another chance to give you a 5* experience next time! Kind regards, Sofia Highland Experience Tours
Very enjoyable day trip to Glasgow Clydeside Distillery, Loch Lomond and Stirling. Brodie, our driver/guide, provided an excellent entertaining and informative commentary as we went along. Would certainly recommend for solo travellers. My second day trip from Edinburgh with Highland Experience and definitely plan to arrange more. Five stars 🌟.
Hello, We're so glad that you enjoyed your trip with us to the distillery, Loch Lomond, and Stirling! We'll be sure to pass your kind thoughts along! Thank you, Audrey Highland Experience Tours
