Yes, Edinburgh may be iconic, and Glasgow may be Scotland’s cultural hub, but have you ever been to Stirling?
If you’re searching for a serious serving of Scottish culture, look no further than the beautiful city of Stirling. Built on the winding bends of the River Forth, Stirling may be a small city, but it boasts a big history! If its tangle of ancient streets could talk, they’d certainly have some stories to tell. Our 3-hour Stirling City trip provides the perfect opportunity to hear them all.
There are endless sites to see and enjoy in Stirling; first and foremost, the city is overshadowed by the imposing Stirling Castle, which has dominated the landscape from its Castle Hill vantage point for over 900 years. As arguably one of the most important castles in Scotland, both architecturally and historically, the fortress played a pivotal role in the Scottish Wars of Independence.
Or perhaps you’re looking for the traditional areas of Stirling? We know just the place to take you! The Old Town area, or “Top of the Town” as it’s known by locals, survives surprisingly intact from its ancient origins in the early 1100’s. A visit to the likes of the Church of the Holy Rude, the parish church dating from 15th century, still active today, where infant King James VI was crowned, Argyll’s Lodging and the infamous Old Town Jail, a favourite haunt of Jock “The Happy Hangman” Rankin! If you’re brave enough to venture inside, their observation tower is THE place to get unforgettable view of Stirling Castle, so make sure you bring your cameras with you.
Of course, these are all just suggestions of the many great attractions Stirling has to offer hungry adventurers like yourself. What you see is completely up to you! Just let our team know what your interests are, and we’ll design the perfect 3-hour Stirling City trip for you and your guests; packed full with deep diving information on each stop, plenty of hidden gems and of course, some remarkable memory-making along the way!

Please refer to our T&Cs with regards to cancellation and refund policies.
Our tours are always privately tailored to you. And the pricing is staggered with the amount of people attending. Please add the required number of people to see the price of your chosen tour. Also check out our advertised Tours of the Months for special discounts.
Normally since we have been in touch with you prior to the tour we should recognise you and you would not need to bring a receipt of booking. If we do however need for you to show a receipt (in case it’s one of our tour guides doing your tour) we let you know specifically beforehand to print or make sure you’d be able to show your confirmation digitally.
Anything that is listed as “included” is included in the price. But if you would like to visit any additional attractions for example you would have to pay those separately on entrance. Same applies to meals which are not mentioned in the “included” section.
Our luxury Mercedes Van comfortably sits 7 people. But if you are intending to bring luggage or if you’re intending to do a multi-day tour we suggest to reduce the group size to 4-5 people.
We can however always accommodate bigger groups as Sean has the licence to drive bigger vehicles – or we can ask our colleague to tandem up with us and we separate the group into two of the same vans. His van can sit 6 people.
For a day tour – just make sure you bring adequate clothing and shoe wear to accommodate for weather changes and outdoor conditions if necessary. If you want to have your personal lunch picnic – please bring that as well.
We provide bottled water and we have one child seat if needed.
For an extended tour – we’ll provide you with a longer list of confirmation documents you may need and a more extensive packing list.
British weather is always changing – so the rule is to dress with the “onion principle” – have as many layers as possible to quickly adjust to temperature changes and have appropriate clothing ready for wet & dry weather. If you like to go for a wander, we always recommend to wear comfortable walking shoes that keep you safe on any surface, from cobblestones to muddy paths.
