Our guide, Stuart, and our driver, Andy were fantastic. They promptly met us at the port and we were allowed to board the bus right away. Throughout the day, they were both highly professional and well-organized, keeping us on schedule and back to the ship on time. Although we had a large group (55), they managed it well and our tour was very enjoyable. We were able to pre-book our Stirling Castle tickets, allowing us to do the guided inside tour and to maximize our time there. We really enjoyed Stirling Castle, Trossachs National Park, and Aberfoyle. We loved learning about the local history and culture from Stuart's commentary. We also had a fun stop to feed and pet some Highland cattle. It was a perfect day with perfect weather. We highly recommend this tour! Thank you, Stuart and Andy for a lovely day.

Stuart was a wonderful tour guide and gave us lots of great information. The tour of Stirling was also very good but my only complaint was that we didn’t have enough time there to see the places/rooms he told us about. I should have just gone to see the places instead of listening to all of his talks. My fault. The scenery was beautiful. I would have liked to stop here and there to take pictures.
