The tour overall was great but we did find the extra we needed to pay for ended up in an expansive day. Would be awesome it the tour could organise entry (maybe even discounted) at the different stops. I’m addition, We didn’t have enough time at Sterling Castle to see it all. We also found finding a lunch spot hard. All the cafe/pubs in the Callander were busy or not serving food. Struggled to find anything I. The time.

anticipation. Our guide Brian, called Brizo, was awesome. Talked a lot, always up for a small talk. He's a great guide! Unfortunately, our bus broke down at Stirling Castle, so we couldn't continue the tour as planned. Our guide then had to improvise. After a new bus was found, we were able to quickly take a few photos at Loch Lomond when darkness set in. After that we went back to the capital in the dark. A short stop at the Kelpies, a short walk to Blackness Castle and a stop at the Forth Bridge rounded off this trip.

A nice relaxing day, an excellent guide: Callum was brilliant. However, the tour needs to be modified to meet Scottish Winter daylight hours. Disappointed that bye the time we got to Balmaha, on Loch Lomond, it was dark (now LL is speckie and magic to see especially in the light of day). Callander (is pretty boring and plain). That could have been missed out as could have the top of The Dukes Pass: nice, but in lovely Scottish rain and wind, it’s pretty ordinary and, freezes your tits off. But in a nutshell: damn fine day.
