★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 514 reviews · 9 hours · from $93

Review of Glasgow’s Stirling Castle and Loch Lomond tour, with Highland scenery, castle entry, lunch, a scenic cruise, and practical tips.

“I enjoyed visiting Sterling castle and the host told us the giide options which was helpful. The host made the trips inbetween the visits entertaining and he was a good storyteller. The lunch stop was good there were varied options but I did find it too long a stop because I only had a quick bite then there wasnt much else to see there. Loch Lomond was beautiful and the host got pur tickets quickly and gave us some advice about the toilets! overall one of the best trips I've been on!”
