Day 2 with Highland Experience

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!

Loch Lomond & Stirling Castle

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.

Lovely day in Loch Lomond & Stirling Castle

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.

Great tour director

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.!

Perfect tour

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!
