Full description

Spend a day experiencing the natural beauty of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park from Edinburgh. Enjoy a memorable visit to Stirling Castle, explore the pretty villages of Aberfoyle and Loch Lomond Shores, and set off on a spectacular cruise across Loch Lomond.

Departing Edinburgh, head to the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, one of the prettiest and largest lochs in the whole of Scotland. Here you can enjoy an hour-long cruise taking in spectacular views of the loch’s many islands and the surrounding mountains.

Alternatively, take a stroll through the picturesque loch-side conservation village of Loch Lomond Shores, with its quaint houses, cafes, and stunning views across the loch’s western shoreline. 

Enter The Trossachs National Park and experience its abundance of lochs, mountains, and forests. Continue on, past medieval Doune Castle, to the pretty town of Aberfoyle, situated on the banks of the River Teith in Stirlingshire, where you stop to enjoy some lunch. 

Travel north-west for your last stop of the day at magnificent Stirling Castle, one of Scotland’s most historically significant castles, sitting high on volcanic rock and offering wonderful views of the surrounding landscape.

Visit the castle and learn of the exploits of key historical figures including William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, and Mary Queen of Scots. Travel back to Edinburgh at the end of your tour.

Stuart was absolutely amazing! The information he gave from start to finish. The music. The laughs. The views. All incredible. I did this tour as a female solo traveller and felt so safe, comfortable and included the whole time. The bus was so comfortable and spacious too between locations on the tour. 10/10 experience. I would 100% do it again the next time I’m in Edinburgh :)

Had a lovely time. Our guide, Mary, was very personable, informative, and accommodating when things had to be adjusted a little during a couple of stops. Our driver, Alan, was an absolute pro at maneuvering the coach and quite funny. My family of four (myself, my husband, and 2 kids aged 7 and 12) had a wonderful day! Definitely would do it again!

To say that trip was amazing is an understatement. It was incredible!! The tour guide had a great sense of humour, he was hilarious and such a wonderful man full of knowledge. He gave us so much information that we couldn’t have possibly received anywhere else. I travelled with my parents and this was without a doubt the best decision ever. Thank you for organising this tour and special thanks to our tour guide for showing us around and making us laugh all the way throughout our journey. Extremely happy with the day trip, it was totally worth it!
