Top Glasgow Bus Tours - page 9

Our friendly tour guide, Adam, picked me up right on time from the Glasgow stop and away we went. There were 14 others on the bus with me, a mix of other solo travelers and people traveling with family or friends. I liked the mix of people I traveled with and Adam made us all feel comfortable. The Scottish highlands are beautiful to drive through. I liked that Adam maintained a nice balance of sharing relevant tidbits and letting us enjoy the scenery. This tour packs in a LOT, and our guide had to adjust some of it based on the weather. I really loved the Fairy Glen on the Isle of Skye - that was probably my favorite spot (even more than the Fairy Pools). I also thought the area just south of Loch Ness looked like a nice place to visit - would have stayed there longer if possible. I also liked my accommodation at the bed and breakfast - which was arranged by the tour - I had a comfortable stay. I had traveled to multiple places before this excursion and only had tennis shoes. In my travel situation (multiple places with different weather), that was the best I could do, but really, I was not quite prepared for the weather to be so constantly drippy even though it did not rain hard. For U.S. people, I would compare it to the Pacific Northwest. I’d recommend future travelers bring hiking boots as well as trainers/tennis shoes and a pair of waterproof pants. At least I brought good socks and a rain jacket that dried quickly! My umbrella was useless as the wind kept flipping it inside out. I can’t stress enough how much our guide, Adam, made a difference in the trip. Easy going guy, but fun and engaging. I plan to recommend this trip to others - it really gave me a sense of Scotland and was the highlight for me. I also would love to return as it is impossible to really know the Highlands in 3 days/2 nights.

Loved the day trip that went to Inverary, Oban with photo stops in Glencoe area. There were several short stops along the way to see the sights and stretch your legs. The stop at Inverary was good. Perhaps a little less time was needed in Inverary to permit more time in Oban. The stop in Oban was great - had a wonderful seafood lunch there. Our guide Kieran was great and had lots of stories about Scotland to tell. Really enjoyed our tour with Kieren.

This was a fantastic day tour. It was informative without ever feeling overwhelming, and the guide shared plenty of interesting facts and local insights throughout the day. Everything was well organized, and the itinerary was timed perfectly, giving enough time at each stop without ever feeling rushed or bored. As a solo traveler, I found it to be a great experience. I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone, especially if you’re traveling on your own and want a fun, well-planned day out.
