Lesley was a delight. She had her work cut out for her being that my husband had mobility issues and needed extra assitance. She didn’t seem bothered and jumped right in to help navigate the obstacles we had pushing a wheelchair on the uneven cobblestone. Would highly recommend her and will use her again if we return.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Lesley! She was very personable, knowledgeable, and organized. We had a great tour of Stirling Castle. Lesley stayed with us so we had our own expert while touring the castle. We loved the local pub that we visited for lunch. The hairy cows were awesome too! Finally I loved the snacks and water she provided. It was a nice touch. I would highly recommend her.

This was a really great tour. There were 7 of us in an extended family on a British Isles cruise. We wanted to see Stirling Castle and the Highlands instead of visiting Glasgow. Beautiful! Strikingly beautiful. We chatted throughout the entire car ride. She took us through Stirling Castle. We had a delightful lunch and then saw some beautiful highland scenery. I really recommend The Scottish Tour Guide.

Just finished a day touring the outskirts of Edinburgh. We couldn’t have asked for a better day with a mix of the old castles filmed in Outlander along with stopping at charming villages. James took us to his favorite charming and authentic restaurant and pub which was an added treat. He was a true Scotsman with lots of stories and made the tour fun and interesting Thank you James for giving us a day to remember!

I don't know what we enjoyed more, the wonderful tour or Lesley's company. Could not have found a better way to spend a day around Glasgow. Castles, wildlife, whiskey, and a great pub. Somehow, Lesley magically ensured it only rained while we drove between stops. Thank you!!!

Our group of four could not have been more happy with our new pal James. He picked us up in style at our flat in Edinburgh and away we drove to Stirling Castle. Our experience there was indicative of our entire trip. James led us past all the other tourists and to the ticket window. He took us on our own private tour, making sure we saw and understood the good stuff. James is knowledgeable and tons of fun. It was definitely the way to go.
