A Perfect Day with Scotland Wild! - The Stirling Castle, Whisky & Kelpies tour was incredible—history, culture, and scenery all in one. Stirling Castle was stunning, the whisky tasting was top-notch, and the Kelpies were jaw-dropping. Our guide, Cameron, was the heart of the experience—funny, knowledgeable, and passionate. Everything ran smoothly thanks to him. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a true taste of Scotland!

An Unforgettable Day in Scotland with the Wonderful Karen! - This tour was the perfect blend of history, scenery, and storytelling — made truly special by our guide, Karen! Her warm personality and passion for Scotland shone through every stop, from the dramatic walls of Stirling Castle to the serene beauty of Loch Lomond. Karen shared her own story — growing up in Ohio and falling in love with Scotland — and it instantly made the experience more personal and engaging. She brought each landmark to life with rich historical detail and a great sense of humor. We loved learning about the Kelpies and sipping whisky with a view, but it was Karen’s energy and storytelling that made the day unforgettable. If you’re on the fence — go for it! And if you get Karen, you’re in for a real treat. 🏴❤️🥃🏰

Perry is #1!!!! - Wow. From start, to finish...an absolute slam dunk. Perry was the best tour guide I've ever encountered over the course of our entire journey through the UK. Just an absolute joy to be around due to his of knowledge of the land, Scotland's history and his overall personality. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and it is reflected in the entirety of the tour. The tour had a great balance of experiencing various things without sprinting through each site. Thank you Perry and the Scotland Wild team for showing the beauty and history of Scotland!

Great Tour - This was a lovely tour. We don’t know how lovely a town Stirling was. The gardens at the castle was magnificent. We had the amazing Warren as our guide. He was the best of hosts. Thank you for a great time.

Magnus deserves 10 STARS!!! - We had the best day sightseeing through The Kelpies, Stirling Castle, and Glengoyne’s Whiskey Distillery. Our driver, Magnus, was a true gem. He was so well informed, patient, professional and very kind. It was a true pleasure to spend the day with him. Our vehicle was very comfortable for the 7 of us. What a great day getting out of the city, learning about Scotland, and enjoying the countryside in the Highlands.

Exceptional tour - Wonderful time with an absolutely amazing castle. Highly recommended. Our guide Aila was engaging, knowledgeable and added great value over going it by yourself. My wife and I really appreciated her. We learned more about how to drink whiskey to get the most than I thought possible and really enhanced this portion beyond what I expected. All around exceptional.
