      Stunning!
      Such a brilliant tour! Our guide was very informative and made sure we were very safe! Beautiful views and luckily quite quiet when we went! Deffo recommend getting your feet wet and getting really involved in the tour (the water was low so it only came to our ankles but it can rise)

      must see
      This hike was absolutely beautiful. You do need to have the ability to hike down a steep slope/old stone steps. Proper shoes are a must.

      A great hike/climb
      A fantastic day trip. Beautiful views, a great walk/climb/wade to and through the gorge to see the devils pulpit. Our guide was absolutely there for us making sure we didn’t put a foot in the wrong place. I would not try this site without a guide. We saw others wandering not knowing where the only trail down is. Several people followed our group. If you are infirm this is not a trip for you.

      Exciting, muddy, wear hiking shoes
      Wear hiking shoes. Teenagers can get away with sneakers with good tread. Adults need hiking shoes. The mud and the steps down are rickety. Great experience. We did not wade into the thigh high water to get to the beach with the pulpit, but 2 others on the tour did. Freezing water in the summer. You take off shoes, pull up your pants past your thighs and hold on to each other to get through. Exciting! Beautiful area. Do not try without a tour guide as you can't see the bottom. Would do again.

      Great time!
      We had a great time on this hike. We went on this hike as part of our annual girls (family) trip and the stairs down were a little much for our mother, but she enjoyed the views from above. Would caution anyone with even slightly limited mobility or dexterity that it will be a challenge. My sister and I had a great time going into the gorge and wading through the water to get great photos of the waterfall. Ferenc was a great guide and showed us how to do everything safely as it can be very slippery.

      Great Exploring Adventure
      We did this excursion in a cold month and for the reason of likely having few participants other than ourselves; we were spot on. There were two of us and we had a great time exploring the Devils Pulpit. We were given time to take pictures, our guide took pictures for us with our phone, and we were given opportunity to ask questions. The trip was instructed with great safety. Ferenac does drive fast but I never felt endangered and was happy for prompt transport. He even dropped us off at Gllascow Chapel and Necropolis on the way back to the meeting point. We would definitely take this adventure again. Thanks!!!

      Hidden Glen Experience
      Awesome hike, not so far from City Centre. Tour guide was friendly and very clear about which path to cross. Without tour guide, it would be easy to get injured if you don’t know the area. The scenery is breathtaking and worth the hike, however I did not cross the river as it was too cold and didn’t have the right clothes. So if you want to cross the river, keep in mind to wear the right clothes (gloves too, as you will be grabbing thing climbing down). Overall, a really nice experience and would go again!

      Night trip to Devil's Pulpit
      Ferenc was very nice and welcoming person , he made sure that we were safe through the whole trip , he was very helpful when he dropped us close to our place on our way back. The trip was something else, very halloweenish , although I don't recommend to take that trip at night otherwise you will miss all the details. The driving was a bit reckless , for a person with motion sickness it would not be the best thing.

      A very disappointing family outing -- never again
      Our family of seven took DreamChaser Adventurers tour along with one other gentleman. Our driver instructed us into the van, acting like he was in a great hurry. He drove recklessly at high speeds on rain soaked roads, increasing the impression that he was in a "rush" to be somewhere else. He never told us his name until I asked him upon arriving at the Wheel. He said it was "Fennants" like tenants? He gave us little information at either sight. He acted like he was doing us a big favor by letting us stay to watch the wheel rotate. He gave us only 25 minutes at the Kelpies and then rushed us back to the starting point and dumped us off 1 hour before the tour was supposed to end. The Trip Advisor website clearly states it is a 4 hour tour https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g186534-d19495044-Visit_the_Two_Most_Iconic_Landmarks_of_Scotland-Glasgow_Scotland.html The other complainants were misinformed, the advertisement did not include the opportunity to ride the wheel. Though there were other positive reviews for other drivers who were named we did not have this information before we signed up in order to request one of them. Our conclusion: It would have been cheaper, less stressful and better quality to have booked an Uber and bought a Tour book.

      whistle stop tour
      I think the guides last job was as F1 racing driver. Make sure you strap in!! The visit to the Kelpies involved a brisk 20 minute walk there and back - unfortunately I dont do brisk 40 minute walks anymore - all to save £3 by not using the official [nearer] car park. This is not a leisurely trip. Felt I was being hurried along all the time. Probably cheaper to take a black cab from Glasgow It would have been nice if the boat trip at the Falkirk wheel had been included

      Driver knew nothing for very pricy tour
      Hungarian driver told us he knew nothing about either of these sites. Di d not allow for time to ride the Falkirk wheel. Very pricy tour and very disappointing. Would not recommend this tour at all.

      Disappointing
      We were rushed at The Kelpies. We were given 45 minutes to walk quite a distance to see them and walk back again. No time to go to gift shop or inspect The Kelpies properly.

      A fun nature experience
      So many good photos. It was just the tour guide, my dad and myself. Guide was very patient. Anyone should be able to hike this. It is a little rough and you might get messy but it is doable. Due to the fact there were only two of us we got back early. The glen was really nice. Be warned if you go in the water, it might be freezing cold. Our guide was great and helped everyone through hiking the whole trail.

      Would have liked to have had more time at each landmark.
      Driver was very polite and pleasant but we felt rushed. We were given only 45 minutes to see Kelpies and we had a long walk there and back.

      Unforgettable Experience!
      We were on a waitlist for May 5 (Regal Princess) and luckily were able to reserve a tour. Service and communication were great from start to finish and we want to recognize Karen for making the tour truly unforgettable! She was very informative and funny! .
