Review of the Loch Lomond, Kelpies, and Stirling Castle day trip from Edinburgh, with practical advice on timing, walks, costs, and value.
“Enjoyed spending our last day in Scotland, taking a break from walking, being guided around some of the lowlands by Sophie, our driver and guide. The Kelpies are a fun photo stop, but something you can easily skip to spend time somewhere else if sculpture or art isn’t your jam. Not that you can skip it on this tour, but can consider in stops in other day trips available. Highly recommend adding ticket for Stirling Castle and taking the guided tour, worth it. And Loch Lomond was such a beautiful walk and yet another opportunity to take in the immense beauty Scotland has to offer.”
Explore Stirling Castle, the Trossachs, and Loch Lomond by small coach and cruise on a scenic full-day trip from Glasgow.
“Lots of opportunity to explore Stirling Castle and the cruise of Lock Lomond was nice. Ally P was knowledgeable about history and current actors & musicians. The only thing was that sometimes the mic was not near his mouth so harder to hear. We were very lucky to be at Stirling Castle to see the Highlanders in their full dress marching to the bagpipe strains. Loved the military museum as well as the rest of the castle. Driving through the Trossachs was a treat despite the winding roads. Thank you!”
Review of a small-group day tour from Edinburgh to Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond, the Trossachs, and Glengoyne Distillery.
“I had a day tour from Edinburgh which was of a very small group of 6 persons. Our guide was Keith who drove us through the countryside on the outskirts of Edinburgh. We first had a visit to the Stirling Castle and then an early lunch at the town of Balmaha. After lunch, Keith led us for a quick walk along Loch Lomand. The highlight of the day was the tour at Glengoyne Distillery in the afternoon in which we got to know how the whisky was produced and tasted 2 glasses of Glengoyne whisky. Keith was professional, attentive and very knowledgeable about the history of Scotland. Enjoyed this day…”

“The only reason i give it a 4 star is that it was not well explained that if we walked a quarter of a mile or so we could really see Loch Lomond. We spent too much time at lunch and was not able to enjoy the view. The distillery was excellent and we had time so we went in and visited the Riverside museum (this should be a listed stop - great museum).”

“We had a great day on our tour with Connor as our driver. He was knowledgeable, funny and a great story teller. We had a hiccough early in the day that he shook off and kept our tour on schedule for the day without missing any stops. Would recommend. We also enjoyed his playlist during downtime from his narrations.”
