We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our driver and Guide was Blair, and he was amazing. Very knowledgeable, and very entertaining. The tour itself was great. The bus took us directly to each attraction. This saved us a LOT of walking at Stirling Castle and made the experience very easy. Pick up and Drop off was convenient and the whole experience was a tremendous value for the money.
One of the highlights of our trip, close behind playing golf. The tour was well worth the price. With the number of stops, we never felt like we were on the bus that long. It was out first time in Scotland, so everything was new. From being "on the shores of loch Lomond" to the historical Stirling castle, we couldn't get enough. The 2 hour stop at the castle was not enough time - the history just poured out. Our guide Jack was professional, accessible, and full of history and stories, making the bus ride part more engaging - for those who listened. I would recommend the Timberbush tour to Stirling castle with a high mark.
This was a fantastic day and our guide Charlie was wonderful - knowledgable and calm, excellent driving. We really enjoyed the drive around the Trossachs and the two main locations were fabulous. Would recommend this tour!
great tour - loch Lond was very scenic and Stirling castle was just sensational- all the history was just so interesting. Our guide Blair was a real character and made the trip fun enjoyable and he could not have been more helpful . He was very Knowledgeable and answered all our questions.
Visiting Glasgow for the Commonwealth Games we thought we’d take a trip out as a break from spectating in the Hydro. Small coach expertly driven by Charlie whose commentary and knowledge were a perfect accompaniment to the stunning views through the windows. One thing to bear in mind is that as advertised, admission charges are not included. The Loch Lomond boat trip and Stirling Castle entry added £40 per person to the cost of the tour. Yes they are optional, but not going would leave you kicking your heels around car parks waiting for the excursion to finish. Make sure you take enough cash or your cards!
Great visit with Wee Davie full of funny jokes and interesting stories !
We had a great time. Davey even wrangled the cows for us, even though the place was crowded, so our group was able to meet all 3. We chose this tour because it’s one of the few without that crazy 11/12 hour timeline. It was well paced between driving and exploring. Would recommend.
Excellent tour. Anne our tour guide was very knowledgeable and kept us informed and entertained all day. I highly recommend this tour and Anne as a tour guide
My day was wonderful! Very stress free loch lammond cruise ride! Lovely buildings and small Castles near the water! Driver named David dressed nicely, very hospitable, gave us loads of history info! Excellent driver with the many S turning roads and tight roads! He played bagpipes Scots music ! There was a fairy forested area we was in ! There was lots of restaurants to eat as we had to get a lunch stop! Sterling Castle plenty to see and abundant time! ! Lots of steps to climb and look out areas! My day was very good! Thank you!
