The Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel are one of a kind wonders worth seeing. They were made even better by our tour guide Stewart. Stewart was genuinely interested that we enjoyed our tour. He took the time to walk up and down the bus aisle and speak with everyone. I would definitely book with Tartan Tours and Stewart again.Amazing! You need to see the Kelpies in person to truly grasp the scale. Falkirk Wheel was fascinating. Stewart was a wonderful guide—he communicated often prior to our arrival, including booking boat trip tickets for us. I highly recommend Tartan Tours! Stewart will take care of you!
