Vous allez d’abord au Château de Stirling où l’on peut visiter cette imposante forteresse, qui fut la résidence préférée des Rois Stuart et où fut couronnée Mary, Reine d’Ecosse. Votre circuit vous transportera sur les très belles collines boisées des Trossachs et vous déjeunerez au cœur du Parc National. Ce lieu, à la limite sud des Highlands, était le fief de Rob Roy Macgregor, le célèbre hors-la-loi écossais. De là un court trajet vous emmène jusqu’aux « charmants, charmants rivages » de Loch Lomond. Vous pouvez y visiter le Centre du Parc National ou faire à pied une partie de la randonnée « West Highland Way » jusqu’à un point de vue au sommet de la colline, qui offre des vues spectaculaires sur le loch. Ensuite allez visiter la distillerie de Glengoyne pour y déguster un whisky de malt avant votre retour sur Glasgow.

Can anyone tell me if by any chance Rabbie's shore excursions from the Greenock port? I am looking to book this asap and I see they offer 1 day tours but not so shore if shore excursions.

Weather wise this was the best day of our week. Our guide for the day was John. He was very entertaining and played great music appropriate for the different areas and passengers, great sense kept us all laughing. Even though we did not participate in the distillery tour we enjoyed the scenery. The small bus was great as we were able to go off onto smaller roads, areas that we would not have seen on our own. Thanks again for the Grrreat day!!

Visited places that I had not seen in many years. Paul was very knowledgeable and informative. Thoroughly enjoyed this Day.
Posted by DORCAS on 22/05/2013


I really liked, that our guide told us so much about the area and the history of Scotland. It completed the tour and you could nearly imagine how it was so many years ago around the castle.
Posted by Nadine Eisele on 25/04/2013


We did the Stirling castle, Loch Lomond and whisky tour and really enjoyed it! Although we got some rainy weather, our wonderful guide John amused us with interesting stories and thematic music. We also appreciated the opportunity to climb a small peak to get a nice view of Loch Lomond. Needless to say that whisky at Glengoyne distillery was delicious :) It was great that the small bus enabled us to stop for brief photo stops at unusual places. Maybe it would have been better to have 2 hours for Stirling except for 1,5 but we understand that the program is really full. Thank you, John, we had a wonderful time, and hopefully we´ll be able to come back to Scotland!

The guide was nice, chatty, and answered all the questions we had. Also, we were only two people and the tour was not cancelled and carried out anyway, which was a pretty nice detail.

I really enjoyed the whole day. John was a perfect guide and made our day memorable, congrat's!

Michael was very accommodating and friendly. He gave us good local information and his passion for the sights, food, and whiskey of Scotland really added to the trip.

The Driver made the trip a great experience. Very knowledgeable, very entertaining, great attitude. The Driver by far made the trip fun.

John was amazing. Extra stops when time permitted, excellent coach music and a great mix of attractions. Incredibly informative tour guide.
Posted by Tom Card on 05/12/2012


It was only one day, but it was great! The majestic Stirling Castle, the beutiful scenery of Loch Lomond and the spacial taste of Glengoyne Whisky... And of course, our great guide, John! He was very pleasant and the trip with him was unforgettable! Great experience! Visit Scotland!
Posted by Jordan on 28/11/2012


Loved it all but especially walking to the high viewpoint over loch lomond and wandering along it's shoreline. John was a star and made sure we all saw and learnt about things we were interested in ... His local knowledge and folklore was unmatchable : thank you!!!!
Posted by Richard Chard on 12/11/2012


We did two tours. The first guy knew many history about places we visited. awesome!! The second place (loch ness) was incredible, little towns and landscapes were great.

Locations were amazing, weather was great, guide was top notch she was personable and friendly.
Posted by Liza Lee on 15/10/2012


I loved the whole day. I really loved the fact that the coach was a minibus !!! So much better then the big ones.
Posted by Nicole Del Fiugo on 15/10/2012


The distillery tour and the trek up the hill to get a view of loch lomond was fun.

A lovely day all round; friendly and laid-back; Juliette very knowledgeable, articulate and approachable guide; particularly like how at Stirling and lunch stop we were left to wander round by ourselves, so didn't feel institutionalised.
Posted by Sophie Ambler on 08/09/2012


Juliette definitely made the tour with her knowledge and humour. The chance to do a short hike was one of the reasons I booked this particular tour.
Posted by Jane Boyce on 16/08/2012


John was probably the best part of the trip. Nothing like have a true Scotsman showing you around and telling you things you could never find out on your own.
Posted by Steven Beil on 06/08/2012


John was the best tour guide we have had. He was funny and accessable, speaking to everyone on the bus for a bit getting to know us. His knowledge of and passion for Scotland was evident. Coming from a small town in the U.S. that was founded by a Scot and named in part after Stirling, (Mount Sterling, Kentucky) I appreciated the the stories and information from a local point of view. Please tell John hello from the "Kentucky Boys" (on the 07.10.12 tour) and let him know the tour was an amazing experience!
Posted by Tommy Leach on 24/07/2012


I absolutely loved this tour in every way! This was my first time out of the country (U.S.). My group departed from Glasgow on June 27th, our driver was Michael. He was terrific, friendly, funny, extremely well-educated about our experience, and just made it the absolute highlight of my entire trip! I wouldn't hesitate to HIGHLY recommend any of their tours based on my experience. I look forward to being able to do one again some day. Thank you so much!
Posted by Kristina Kenoyer on 06/07/2012


The entire tour was amazing and one unforgettable day! John is an amazing guide and clearly loves what he does. I would do another tour with him and this company! You guys are wonderful.

According to legend Mary Queen of Scots’ father, James V, died of a broken heart when he discovered his wife had given birth to a daughter and not the son he was hoping for! Your route north to Stirling is one which has been used for thousands of years by invading armies. It was the northernmost frontier of the Roman empire, and was later used by the English King Edward I, as he marched proudly towards Stirling (only to be sent homewards to think again!). As you approach Stirling the magnificent castle dominates your view and you make your way up towards the high volcanic rock where it imposes itself upon the surrounding land. Known as the ‘Key to Scotland’, for centuries this was the most important castle in Scotland and the views from the top make it easy to see why. To the north is the 220ft high tower of the National Wallace Monument commemorating Scotland’s great hero William Wallace, played by Mel Gibson in the Oscar-winning movie Braveheart. From the castle you can look down over the scene of Wallace’s greatest triumph, the battle of Stirling Bridge, where he defeated the English army in 1297. To the South is Bannockburn where, in 1314, the great Scottish warrior-king Robert the Bruce defeated the English army of Edward II. The battle was fought for possession of Stirling Castle but eventually led to a far greater prize for Scotland – the restoration of independence. It’s an area alive with history and you stop at the castle to visit and give you time to soak up the history and heritage of this great site. From Stirling you travel into the Highlands to an area known as the Trossachs National Park. Often referred to as ‘The Highlands in Miniature’ it marks the point where the Lowlands meet the Highlands and entering this beautifully picturesque area feels like going into a different country. With its shimmering lochs, rugged mountain tops and forest-filled glens it’s easy to forget that this was once thought of as a dangerous frontier fought over by the fiercely territorial Highland clans. You stop here for lunch in the heart of the National Park forest outside Aberfoyle, where you can enjoy the magnificent nature all around you. After lunch you ‘take the high road’ or back-road to Loch Lomond, at over 22 miles long, 5 miles wide at its widest point, and with 79 islands, it is Scotland’s largest loch, it takes its name from the mountain Ben Lomond on the eastern shore. Following a walk out along the west highland way you travel onto the picturesque Distillery of Glengoyne, one of the leading ‘Malt Whiskies ‘in Scotland, where you have the option to tour the Distillery or enjoy the refreshments that are on offer at their ‘Slainte Mhath Shop’. Then it's just a short drive back to Glasgow at approx 18.00.
