“Would absolutely recommend this tour and the tour operators. Our driver/ guide was very helpful and kept me interested and entertained with the information that they gave us regarding each of our stops on the itinerary. Additionally, as we were the only people on our particular tour, we had a bit more flexibility in the places we stopped and managed to also fit in a few additional highlights and discover a new spot or two they had not previously seen. I had a very enjoyable day.”

“Stewart and Stewart Tartan Tours was amazing! Communicated well, on time, gave us the local fables of the Kelpies which made it more meaningful. As a lifelong horse lover, it filled my heart to see these majestic modern sculptures captured them so perfectly! Stewart pointed out the best spots to take photos, and in the Visitor Center, showed us concept art that inspired global fundraising. Then on to the Falkirk Wheel, where Stewart had tickets for us, and pointed out the best place to sit on the boat, where we experienced the Wheel for ourselves! From start to finish, I was truly glad I chose Tartan tours for our first…”
