Discovering Scotland with Alex
A fantastic experience to get to know some of the most iconic places in Scotland. The tour of Loch Lomond, the Kelpies, and Stirling Castle, surrounded by spectacular landscapes, is very much worth it. Everything was very well organized and our guide, Alex, made the tour very enjoyable and interesting, sharing curiosities and history throughout the day. Without a doubt, a highly recommended excursion to enjoy and learn a little more about Scotland in a single day.

A fun day trip from Glasgow
This was a great way to spend my last day in Glasgow and get out of the city for the day. Nicky was a great guide, filling us in on history between destinations. The Kelpies were cool to see up close, and Stirling was beautiful and definitely worth the trip.
