Stirling Castle,Trossachs National and Loch Lomond Day Tour from Edinburgh

Posted By : Z1033UOes
My friend and I went on the trip to Loch Lomond and Stirling Castle with our excellent guide Martin. It was a very fun day with a lot of things to see. Especially Stirling Castle was very nice. Martin guided and drove us very well and we got to chat with him a bit during the stops as well. He is full of stories and facts about the places we drove through and Telos his tales with a lot of humour as well which is always good :) We were very lucky with the weather as well. Bedankt Martin, for the great day!

Part of our trop to Edinburgh was a bus tour into the countryside and we partly decided to go with Haggis Adventures, because their office was about 20 steps from our High Street Hostel. We're very happy that we did, 'cause we had a great time! Our tour guide Martin was a lovely man, who really took care of his passengers. We saw all the nice spots and enjoyed the Scottish music as well. Oh and being Dutch we enjoyed the extra legroom in the back of the coach :) Thanks!

We're glad we chose this day trip option as it allowed ample time to visit Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond and the Kelpies without very long drive times between stops.
The crew (Paul the driver and Laura and Chris as trainees) were all professional, competent and incredibly friendly. They regailed is with fun facts and stories throughout the drive and at each of the stops. They were also very attentive and helpful making sure we were all comfortable and offering to help take photos to remember our day out.
The bus was clean and comfortable.
We'd definitely choose them again.

Sophie was amazin'! She got us threaded through the nasty Edinburgh traffic, all the while giving us interesting and funny anecdotes. The Kelpies were truly weird - they have to be experienced up close and personal. Loch Lomond is everything the sentimental song says it is. I get misty just thinking back on it. Finally, Stirling Castle. What can you say? It's big, it's ornate, it's made from lots of rocks. Absolutely breathtaking. Better than Edinburgh Castle, even. A fantastic time at a great price!

What a great day. We enjoyed the Kelpies, Loch Lomond and Stieling Castle. With the bonus of the 3 bridges that connect the Highlands and the Lowlands. Our guide Jim had fantastic stories and made it full of humor and entertainment. Lori our female driver also contributed. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to see some of the beautiful surroundings in addition to Edinburgh.

We took a total of two tours (Loch Ness & Stirling Castle) the week we were in Edinburgh and our tour guide, Dusty, was awesome. We loved his stories and tales of history during both trips.

Overall we couldn’t ask for a better trip or tour guide to show us some of Scotland’s most beautiful spots. Thank you for the memories!!

I did this tour solo in July. Allie P. was a fantastic tour guide and driver. She was very knowledgeable and had a great road trip play list. We were lucky to have beautiful weather, and a polite, friendly group in the coach. The amounts of times at the stops were appropriate, and you especially had enough time to see Stirling Castle as well as the town of Stirling. Loch Lomond was stunning. You had enough time for a very short hike that gave you a taste of what it would be like to come back and spend a whole day. All in all, the tour was well worth the money, and I had a lovely day.

Cold bus for first leg til ac turned off. Otherwise good trip. Kelpies v good. Loch Lomond needs a spot with better views. Stirling castle interesting but heavily renovated with little original/contemporary furnishings. Guide Dusty was great. Good chat throughout. Very knowledgeable

The tour lacked information and storytelling. It basically consisted in a drive around sights with the final destination being Stirling castle. No tour or basic context of the history of the castle or village was provided.

The tour was booked with two audio guides in Spanish. Unfortunately the agency does not provide any guidance on how to use them or even how to follow the tour guide through the trip and understand the meaning and story behind the sights.

On one of the stops, the tour guide was going to guide us through a “walk”. It was a trekking path, he provided no information on the conditions of the road so we could assess our ability and left us in the middle of the path with little explanation on how to get to the final destination.

Overall, a poor service an border line irresponsable. I do believe that the tour guide makes all the difference, I booked a tour with the same company the day before and the guide was excellent.

I hope they can improve the service.

I don’t usually take tours, and went on this one largely because I wanted to see Stirling Castle and did not feel like messing with the train to Stirling. The tour exceeded my expectations. It was about 8 1/2 hours total, of which roughly 5 or 5 1/2 were spent on three stops. The Kelpies were much more dynamic and impressive than I expected. The Loch Lomond stop included time to do a mile long loop with beautiful views of the lake. The stop at Stirling Castle was the longest and gave plenty of time to see the castle, take in views of the mountains and Bannockburn battlefield, eat a bit of lunch and see the Holy Rude, a late medieval church and cemetery beside the castle. The tour was well worth the time and money.
