I had an absolute delightful time and it was all thanks to Jamie, our tour guide. I was at risk of missing the bus (please note they are prompt!) Due to my initial flight delay, but with some quick maneuvering from a kind driver, I made it on time. So glad I did because the experience was truly unforgettable. Please note to pack your day bag light as the storage room on the bus is tight (I had just came from the airport so you can imagine). The kelpies was a "wow" moment and so grateful for Jamie's knowledge on the history, it made it that more of an impactful experience. The trip to the loch was breathtaking with incredible views. When Jamie says he knows a spot, he knows what he's talking about! He offered trails for those a bit more adventurous for truly incredible sights but also offered more laxed trails for those not really looking to trek. Sterling castle was so fun to see but honestly it was Jamie's knowledge, cultural music, and just warm hospitality that made this trip sensational. I didn't think I could see so much in one day and I'm so glad I was paired with Jamie's group. I can't sing Jamie's praises enough, I felt safe, it was so much fun. Highly recommended, especially as a solo traveler, 10s across the board.
