Keith was a great tour guide, he adapted the itinerary to meet what we wanted to do during the day and was very knowledgable about numerous areas of Scotland and their history. Would highly recommend Heart of Sctoland Tours ltd.

Such a great tour. The meeting place was easy to find. The small group tours really are the way to go. They allow for more personalized and flexible tours. Our driver, Paul, was knowledge and friendly. He took us to a couple extra spots in addition to all the places in the description. It was a rainy but beautiful. The lunch spot was okay food but it was with good company. We had were given multiple photo stops. The distillery was interesting and the scotch was good. The castle was neat. We would definitely book with this company again and would definitely book with Paul again. Great guide.
Impressive tour

The entire trip was a blast despite the rain. Alan was wonderful and extremely considerate. I was traveling with my elderly mum who is over 70 and can barely.walk but Alan was very understanding and helpful. His knowledge and the little snippets were interesting and unusual. An excellent tour - must travel by the wee bus at least once when you're in Edinburgh.
Graham = Awesome

Wee Red Bus is a must!

The Wee Red Bus is a great small group tour! Graham offered a wonderful dialog with tons of historical details sprinkled with some fun trivia!
Sterling Castle is a must see-- explore the most important castle in Scottish history. The guided tours are included with the price of admission, or explore on your own.
View stunning Lochs and Glens and round out your day at the Glencoyne Distillery! Worth every penny- this was a highlight of our 12 day visit to Scotland...

The tour with the Wee Red Bus was simply wonderful. Our tour guide and driver Graham told very interesting stories while driving at the same time - in my eyes a very complicated combination ;-) But he managed it just perfectly.
The tour was exactly as described on the website. The stops at Stirling Castle, in Calendar, at Loch Lomond, the Distillery Glengoyne and even a short stop for taking photos from a small family of Highland Cows (Hamish, Honey and their daughter) were really interesting and enjoyable.
Even the parts when we had to sit in the bus, driving through the magnificent landscape, were informative and very nice. Graham told us so many interesting stories, gave very much information about Scotland and its history - it was a real treat! THANK YOU, Graham!
Since the weather was astonishingly good (sunny and warm) Graham also offered a special opportunity to take a 30 minutes walk along the Loch Lomond through the beautiful territory. This was in my eyes the best part of the whole journey. We thought we were somewhere at the Mediterranean Sea! Lovely!
All in all we enjoyed this tour very much and look forward to coming back to Scotland soon!
A lovely tour

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
