The tour guide Neil was excellent!! The sites were very interesting, made better by the additional information that Neil provided. Neil was also very interesting as well as informative with his stories about current and historical events as we traveled through the countryside. On the whole, a great value!!

Paul was a fantastic guide. We felt we got much more than what we paid for with the absolutely amazing sights and stops. Paul told us many stories about life in the area and was well-tuned in with Scottish history.

Full description

On this guided tour of Scotland's most famous medieval landmarks, learn about the many heroes that battled in this ancient kingdom. The first stop on your tour will be the town of Dunfermline. Walk down the beautiful nave of Dunfermline Abbey, the final resting place of Robert the Bruce, who battled for Scotland's right to be a nation. Next, travel to Stirlingshire, where you will stop in the beautiful city of Stirling, site of the monument of Scottish hero William Wallace (whose life was dramatized in the film Braveheart). You'll have ample time to stroll through the beautiful and ancient streets that surround it. You will also have a chance to explore the city's stunning castle if you wish. From Stirling, head to Bannockburn, the battlefield where Robert the Bruce routed the English in 1314. Lastly, decode the mystery of Rosslyn Chapel, which was made famous in Dan Brown's novel the Da Vinci Code. Is this the resting place of the Holy Grail? No one really knows, but you'll love the chapel and the beautiful walk you can take through Roslin Glen and the ruins of Rosslyn Castle.

Had the most wonderful day exploring three gems of Scotland. There were also two other short stops with bathroom breaks as well as quick sites to see. Steven B. Was the best guide with his commentary as we drove to each site. Also a nice touch was the Scottish music he played. This day was one of The highlights of our trip to Scotland!
