Stirling Castle & Loch Day Tour

Spend more time at Stirling castle and make sure to explore the churchyard in the town. A great tour of the area and made good use of time. A wee dram of whisky didn't hurt either!

Jamie was a great tour guide. We really enjoyed the day in Scotland. This was a great tour and I highly recommend it.

Steph did a great job accommodating our individual needs and was able to quickly adjust to some traffic issues. He also helped us ensure we had a great tour guide at Stirling Castle. Only one minor suggestion: replace rear shocks in the van! Thank you!

If ever you’re in Glasgow or surrounding area please consider a tour with Serca Tours and ask for JIMMY! He’ll come and pick you up. In our case from Greenock. Jimmy is the most friendly, fun and knowledgable man to have on your tour as a guide. His story’s are great, the stops on the way interesting……and he can sing!! 😆😆 We all had a great day and we wouldn’t have missed it for the world!! So: thanks Jimmy!!

Since I was solo and only person on the tour, Stef let me stay longer in some places for a few extra minutes. The locations were stunning and was all that I wanted to see.

Our tour with Jimmy was amazing! He is so knowledgeable about Scottish history and eager to share. We learned so much - more than we can ever remember. Sterling Castle was beautiful and we enjoyed the opportunity to see it. We were able to see the “hairy coos” up close - and even got to feed them. The highlands and Loch Lomond were beautiful. Jimmy gave us plenty of time at each location and truly personalized the tour. We recommend Serca Tours - and especially Jimmy - to see Scotland.

We were the only two on the tour! Any other company would have cancelled, but these guys went ahead, and we had a personal tour experience. It was lovely! Beautiful scenery, guide was knowledgeable and gave us a bonus whisky tasting. We loved Stirling castle, although a little more time there would have been nice. But we can’t fault the service, the friendliness, and the company. Would definitely recommend - family owned and customer-focussed.

I will start by saying that I’ve been using Viatour for years and this is the first time that we been totally disappointed with our trip. We were booked on a tour that promoted small group of “up to 16”. When we arrived on the dock our group of 4 was led to a small van. Another group of 14 was placed on a large van. We were told that our Tour guide was with the large group and we had a driver (who happened to be on his first day with the company). We proceeded with the 8 hr trip with no tour guide. At no fault to the driver, we had no guided history of any stops we made. Just on and off the van. Over and over. At Sterling castle we finally found the guide after his group of 14 had entered the castle- and asked for some history of the area. Total waste of an 8 hr trip. Sure hope this isn’t a sign of the rest of our booked excursions this year.

We had complications with information from our printout of reservation as to where to meet our driver. We had to pay 75.00 for a taxi to go from cruise port of Greenoch to Glascow train station to meet our tour as per directions on our printout. Another bus driver at the train location finally contacted the tour contact and the driver and came to pick us up and had to reverse the tour to make it work. Lovely tour and enjoyed the amazing Stirling Castle the most. Hopefully we will be compensated for the wrong directions and our extra expense of the taxi.

John did an excellent job. We were on the excursion with a very nasty couple. From the very start, they did not like things. John tried to calm them down. He took us to many different places and gave us ample time to see them. he also was involved in a very slight motor vehicle accident which involved his mirror, but he handled that quite appropriately. He was an excellent tour guide.
