“I really enjoyed this tour and would absolutely recommend this. We were in a small group, which made it better in my opinion. Our tour guide Peter was very knowledgeable, had a great sense of humour and told us great stories. The tour was a good mixture of sites.

Private Edinburgh tour to the Kelpies, Falkirk Wheel, and Stirling Castle, with door-to-door pickup, a guide photo assist, and skip-the-hassle timing.
“We booked this trip 2 months ahead but were told 2 days before it that there would be a £30 to pickup from the port that we specified at the time of booking (which I questioned Viator about at the time of booking and they said it would be fine), so we were disappointed to have that surcharge sprung on us. As someone else said, it was more like being in an Uber rather than a private guided tour. Apart from that, it was great to have the privacy of a car with our 2 kids so that we could say how long we wanted to be at each stop…”
