The experience was great. Our knowledgeable guide kept sharing information, which made the trip even better.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the areas we drove through. As a bonus we got to drive back through Glasgow instead of the way to Loch Lomond.
The day was fabulous. The driver had a great sense of humour and was very knowledgeable. The Kelpies were AMAZING and really something to see.
