We booked this tour, not for the Braveheart aspect as in the title, but because we felt it was the best individualized offer to see some of the Scottish countryside while visiting a few key sites with just our family/group and a guide.
We were also looking for a shorter tour than most of the ones offered online that showed 12 hours or so and headed all the way to the northern part of Scotland. That's a great feature, but not one our group wanted to do or had time for. We enjoyed being out for most of the day and then back to the city for the evening to stroll around and have dinner and such.
We absolutely adored our time with our tour guide, Chris, and had the best time hanging out with him and talking about history and current day events. He just happened to have his pipe with him on our adventure and we had the opportunity to hear him play which was beautiful! Visiting Stirling Castle was really great (our favorite), the Battle of Bannockburn to understand it's significance, and then Wallace Monument (for some cardio climbing the steps), and a quick stop at the Dunblane Cathedral, which was beautiful.
In our group we had a 17yr old Swiftie, 2 parents of said teen, and two grandparents of said teen. Not everyone in our group could climb the 264 steps to the top of the Wallace Monument, but that was optional and we are glad we did it - enjoyed it. Everyone in our group was well engaged during the whole tour, with lots of discussion with our tour guide.
We recommend this tour! Yes, this is pricier than a giant coach bus tour with 743 people you don't know, but we are so glad we made this choice for our adventures and would highly recommend to anyone else to try this option out, too. AND they pick you up and drop you off at your hotel, which was great!
Laid back - sight-seeing - interesting - historical - fun - interactive - all with a personal touch.

Certainly my favorite tour while visiting Edinburgh. Guide was extremely knowledgeable and certainly went out of his way to make sure we hit all the locations we wanted to see (mainly castles). The tour included getting admissions into historic sites (not just drive past them like most other tours), which sold us on this tour. The van was spacious and comfy and we were able to stop for a lovely lunch. Certainly happy I booked this experience.

Tour was excellent. My daughter and I learned a lot about Scottish history and had so much fun. Our guide, Stuart was wonderful. He even took us to see parts of the Highlands. I highly recommend this tour, a must do if in Edinburgh.

Stuart was an excellent guide. Truly a 5 Star experience! Extremely knowledgeable, personable, and flexible. We done many private tours in the UK and Europe, and Stuart is among the best guides we have ever had!
The tour itself was a perfect blend of history, scenery, and good fun!

We had a wonderful tour with Sean. His knowledge of the historical sites and the culture added to the experience plus we had lots of good conversation about our home and his home. My husband and I are elderly and Sean recognized that in some venues we would need accommodation to reach the site (Stirling Castle). Beryl Is an excellent communicator and when we wanted to add Rosslyn Chapel in lieu of the Wallace memorial she readily facilitated that change. We highly recommend this couple as your Scotland tour guides.

My husband and I booked a custom made private tour with Sean. He was very knowledgeable about the history and significance of the various castles, chapel, battlefields and cultural sites that we visited. Lots of fun to talk to as well. Sean's wife Beryl was always responsive and provided a last minute alteration to our itinerary. I would highly recommend this tour and if you are fortunate enough to have Sean and Beryl plan your tour you should consider yourself very lucky indeed.

This was the best trip. The tour guide, Stewart was absolutely the best! He took us to see our ancestorial castle for Clan Galbraith. He gave a phenomenal discussion on the history of Scotland when we visited Stirling Castle and other sites. He also explained issues currently facing the country.
Ask for him when you book your trip.
This was a great way to spend the day!

It was amazing, Sean was on time, flexible in where to go, and what to do. As a local, he knows all the good places, so friendly. We had a child and he offered a child car seat. He is so welcoming, and fun.
Highly recommended
