Top Glasgow Bus Tours - page 6

Very good experience top to bottom. Everything was on time and as planned, the mini-van was new and comfortable, the tour is very well-thought so it is comprehensive and very educative but well-paced so you don’t feel in a rush at every stop. Johnny, our guide, was absolutely great. He gave valuable information throughout the entire day. I would totally recommend this tour and Discover Scotland.

We booked this tour via Viator. Our guide/driver, Jim, was excellent and had a great knowledge of the area and its history. He was very helpful and entertaining. The weather was against us all the way to our destination and back, and there was nothing anyone could do about these things. Having said that, I would like to point out a few things to be reviewed by the tour company. 1. The meeting place was confusing for us, it had a different street listed on our ticket, so we spent a good few minutes looking for the taxi rank at the stated street address. The actual taxi rank was at a different street access. 2. The van is a bit too small, or the spaces between the rows of seats were not even; the three of us were sitting at the back with minimal leg room, while the people seated in front of us had bigger legroom. I am sure we paid the same amount for the tour, and it did not seem fair to have these differences in comfort levels. 3. Our lunch stop passed by a village with pubs and other outlets for food, which would have been a better option for food instead of the Tourist information venue allocated for lunch stops. 4. The food offered at the lunch venue was awful to say the least, with a very high price tag attached to it. We were not happy with what we ordered, but we had to eat it as we had no other option. We suggest the company reviews this

The tour is approachable for Outlander and non-Outlander fans alike. The tour guide made the information relevant for all participants, and made it fun while sharing information on the sites. For this tour, there was a change in the itinerary; yet, the company communicated the information early and found a lovely substitute.

Tour leader was very good we were disappointed that if you just wanted to look at the outside of the castle the bus waited and took you into town for the meeting place. If you took the castle tour you had to walk. On a nice day the 10 minute walk wouldn't have been a problem. In the pouring rain we got drenched.. it would have been great if the bus could have come back for those that took the tour after a half hour. Other than that the tour was great.

Arriving in Greenock on princess ship and very easily found the Timberbush tour guides and parking area of private tour buses. The people who previously complained about that must need their hands held every step of the way. Wee Davie was a fabulous tour guide and driver. Yes, he’s Scottish so yes he has an accent. How can you expect otherwise? But we acclimated quickly and enjoyed his very informative and educated commentary. Stirling is a quaint town and nice castle to visit. Definitely prebook castle tickets and dress in layers! Callandar was a great town to have a delicious lunch in the MHOR bread shop. Oh my the pastries are BEYOND! Great souvenirs to be purchased in the local shops there. Lovely stop to feed some cows and nice visit to Loch Lomond complete with a quick visit to a whiskey shop where you can buy locally distilled whiskey. A long day but broken up and a great way to spend your port day! Wee Davie was a highlight with his fun sense of humor.

Great day trip from Edinburgh. Scott met us at the rail station and led us through the city in an informative and relaxed tour. He was great at showing us historical and cultural ( murals were beautiful ) points of interest. He also shared spots to get a great meal, which we did take his advice for a delicious lunch at an Italian restaurant.

Not only informative but highly entertaining. Stephen our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. We met at the prearranged stop and took a leisurely paced walk to some of the city highlights and attractions. Stories and facts abound delivered in a cheery fashion. Was a great way to get your bearings and revisit some of the spots you might want to take a better look at. Great value for money. Highly recommend.

Liberty our guide was informative and personal . She made the 4 hour tour whiz by with her wealth of information. If you want a 4 hour walking tour of Glasgow … Liberty is the one for you. She is highly educated and whatever questions you have for her, she is equipped to answer.
