Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review 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.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Gillian helped us not once but twice today with a dtunning local walk she recommended then local knowledge about Loch Lomond was super helpful. Thank you so much! These guys dont get the credit they deserve, would highly recommend a visit during your stay!

I’m not a tourist centre gal, I mainly just tag along for my boyfriends sake, but today at the centre we had the best/most informative/helpful interaction with Colin. In a matter of minutes he had easily helped us plan out the next week of our trip which we actually really needed. Can’t recommend this more if you have hired a car and looking to explore the beauty of the national parks and beyond but aren’t actually sure where to start.
Thank you Colin! He kept it simple but made sure to cover everything. Honestly it’s such a great resource to have!

Stopped here by chance to get some local info for our day out and I'm so thankful that we did! Gillian was so informative and talked us through lots of options, marking each out on a map for us. We ended up having a great adventure that we certainly wouldn't have had without Gillian's guidance. Would 100% recommend a visit if you are unsure of how to make the most of your time in the area.

My husband and I visited the ALBERFOYLE Visitor Centre in October for information on the area. We initially spoke to Susy who was helpful and suggested we speak to Colin. He couldn’t have been more helpful and went out of his way to give us advice, suggestions and information on our proposed trip. His knowledge of the area which he enthusiastically passed on was amazing. Thank you so much.

What a warm bright, friendly and welcoming place to walk into! The staff are genuinely smiley and helpful and give you all the information and more that you ask for. They are very willing to help. The Centre is stocked with very bright good quality things to buy which makes it very welcoming with a great contour raised map of the Trossachs for kids - and adults - to look at. The Centre is a great asset to the Trossachs. I bought something from the shop because of the effort which had gone into making it such a welcoming place. Thanks for making an effort to bring society back into the realms of love and happiness after the Covid?Brexit?cost of living ongoing depression of everyday life. You are like a shining light peeking through the clouds of a storm. Thank you xxx

We were attempting wild camping for the first time in Scotland, so not knowing the area we stopped here to find out how the permits worked. Colin was amazing! So helpful and offered lots of knowledge. He went through all the different maps/ booklets and labelled them for easy reference later on. He made our Scotland experience so much easier and more enjoyable. Thank you so much Colin!

We are touring Scotland in a motorhome and arrived in Aberfoyle heading north to do the NC500. We called into the information centre and got an immediate friendly welcome from the staff. We were looking for information on a tourist route and where we could stop for the night, the young lady (sorry forgot her name) that helped us had a fast amount of knowledge on the local area and beyond. We left the I centre with maps and all the information we needed, and had a fantastic trip though the Achray Forest on the 'Three locks forest drive'. Thank you for your help and we will be calling in to another I centre on our travels.

This was where we headed when we arrived in the area.
We were lucky as a very nice lady came to our assistance as soon as we walked in the door.
She was terrific and spent a lot of time finding out what we hoped to do and then giving us the right brochures.
There is a lot of info in this place so get there before you do anything.
The lady put us onto a walk from town to see a lovely waterfall, we did that straight away, very nice

The travel center in aberfoyle played a very important part in planning our hikes and other activities. Collette from the centre was so sweet and helped us a lot understanding the trails. I think we would have been clueless about the hike without her advice. Also the centre has a nice collection authentic Scottish goodies that you can take home to your friends and family
