Excellent, An Absolute Must Do Tour!

Published on Feb, 2025

We had an incredible time with William. He picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off at the end of day. Our tour of Stirling Castle, the countryside, Deanston Distillery and The Kelpies was outstanding. I could spend days at the castle learning about the tapestries and history of the area. There was a young woman in the Queen's Chamber that gave great detail on the history of the tapestries on the walls, the lore of the Unicorn, and the royals who lived there. We were able to see some Highland Cows and made a stop at a shop where you can find all kinds of wool and cashmere treasures. Deanston Distillery is a great way to end the tour. The team at the distillery gives a great tasting tour and goes into detial about the unique barrels they use, the history of the distillery, and the area itself. You can also grab a drink and something eat at the distillery after your tasting. William has a great sense of humor, happy to take pictures of you and your group, and knows a great bakery where you can pick up a warm treat while on your journey (much needed on a cold January morning). He also keeps bottled water in the van for his guests. If it's your first time to the area or even a repeat visitor to Scotland, I highly recommend booking this tour.
