Absolutely lovely, my only suggestion would be arriving at Loch Lomond a bit earlier to have more time there. Otherwise I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!

A great bus tour out from Edinburgh to Stirling Castle and Loch Lomond. It was especially nice not to have to worry about driving and to leave that our our excellent guide, Shelby. Enjoyed seeing the scenery and even getting into the Highlands.

Tour guide knowledgeable and friendly. You only get to visit the outsides of Doune and Stirling Castles. It would be good to tour both, but I understand the time contraints. Plenty of time to explore Inveraray and Kilchurn Castles. Would recommend this Day Trip to those who like Castles! It also includes Loch Lomond and plenty of the Highlands.

Even with is raining all day, the trip was worth getting wet. The renovation of Stirling Castle brings all the colors to life. Our guide Peter took us to an overlook area of Loch Lomond that made it live up to the yahoo 2011 article stating it as one of the 12 most beautiful lakes to visit.

The weather today was not good typical Scottish Summer but never mind that cannot be helped. We headed off to Stirling Castle and unfortunately when we got there it could not have rained any harder but it was still great to see with some good views but not to many great photos. After a coffee to warm us off we headed off towards Loch Lomond we seem to go through a few seasons every corner we turned bought different weather but the countryside was some of the most beautiful I have seen photos do not do it justice. The heather had also just come into bloom so the hillsides where a mass of purple. We had a little while to lunch in a cute place call Aberfoyle and wander around thankfully the weather was a bit kinder. After lunch we started to head back to Edinburgh with a few stops along the way and lots of history lessons from another passionate and well informed Scotmans. I recommend this tour.

Amazing! Duncan our tour guide was FANTASTIC!!!! His knowledge and history of the sites was wonderful. I can honestly say I learned something but had a ton of fun. Stirling Castle was incredible. The history and scenery are just breath taking. Loch Lomond was unbelievable. This is a must see. It reminded me that nature is truly beautiful and awe inspiring. We would do this trip again and any other Rabbie's tour/trips. You will be in good hands. Plus, how can you go wrong with a tour guide who's wearing an authentic kilt?

Driver/guide was great with a wealth of info! Plenty of time to tour Stirling Castle, and a wonderful lunch in Aberfoyle! Had to go to a differnt part of Loch Lomond do to an accident and road closure. Was not able to take a boat tour there. Not tour guide's fault on the road closing, but a bit disappointing.

It was a second homecoming for me – I studied in Glasgow 16 years ago. Two youngsters, my nephew and my niece accompanied me this time. Fortunately, given the sever time constraint, I found in Viator the right medium for a sneak overview of what Scotland is all about. And the experience was just fabulous, all the way. Beginning with a little wait at the historic George Square before boarding the coach, the day long journey was an experience to cherish. The coach was comfortable; the Guide-cum-Driver a skilled, knowledgeable and pleasant lady; the itinerary was thoughtfully framed; the scenery was breathtakingly stunning just as it was 16 years ago; and yes, that thing called Sun was in full glorious view through the day… Stirling Castle evoked historic sentiments, made even more eloquent by the erudite commentary on the electronic tour-guide. The view from the top made the youngsters absorb the Scottish beauty in awe…The roads in Scotland are as well kept as ever. Yet, the orderly manner in which the road users handled a little freak accident on the road involving a not-too-young biker was both exemplary and heart-warming. The Lakes of Scotland are still the stuff legends are made of…The stopover at Loch Lomond was a grand experience, both for the picturesque environs and the majestic aura of the lake. The stop over at Glengoyne was a grand experience even for us teetotalers, for sheer Chemistry content! Viator made it possible for us to get ten times more than we expected from a day out in Scotland, and we’ve returned determined to visit Glasgow and Scotland again very soon, for a longer and even more enjoyable trip with Viator. We truly found Viator to be value for money and more… Thanks, Team Viator!!!

Be prepared for hours in the van! The driving time aside, the tour was very nice. Allen, our guide, was very knowledgable and easy-going.
Stirling Castle was nice, but I actually found touring the Edinburgh Castle and the 11th century Abbey attached to the Holyrood house more enjoyable.
Loch Lomond was beautiful and Allen led a nice walk in the woods around the loch.

My wife and I are from Australia and woke up to a very wet day in Edinburgh and thought that this may impact our trip - but it didn't. The tour operators (Rabbies) were organised and ready to go. Our tour guide, Pete, was a jovial Scotsman and kept us entertained throughout the day with historical information and comical trivia. The detinations, Stirling Castle and Loch Lomond, were superb. We had plenty of time to enjoy the sites and lunch as well as a "wee bit of shopping". The small group concept was great as we got to know each other pretty good in just 1 day. Pete took us to a fantstic vantage point on the Loch where we were able to capture some sensational photographs. We arrived back right on time and were even given instruction on some of the best pubs to frequent as we left the bus. Would I recommend this trip? Aye, I certainly would. Christine and Tom

We LOVED our trip. Our guide, Michael, was so informative and very thoughtful. We wished we had time to take another tour the very next day! I think next time I will do the Sterling Castle and Loch Lomond tour. I hope there will be a next time. Even though the weather was not wonderful, it didn't really matter! We felt it just added to the ambiance of the Highlands.

The trip was beautiful. I would definitely recommend it. Both Stirling Castle and Loch Lomond were breathtaking. Ewan, my tour guide, was very entertaining, knowledgeable, and personable. He added a lot to the overall experience. I will definitely go again when I come back for vacation.

The day trip was a great departure from the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh. Our tour guide Ewan was excellent and had a wealth of knowledge about the history of the country. Loch Lomond was great and we had enough time to take a hike up up the hillside for views overlooking the Loch.
