Fantastic tour!

This was a great tour! It got us out of the city and into the highlands. Alan was knowledgeable and easy going, and he did a great job despite the weather! I would do this tour again and more tours with Discover Scotland in a heartbeat. Can't wait to be back!

Glasgow through the lens of graffiti art!

I can recommend this tour to every graffiti and art fan. Our lovely guide Grace led us through the sometimes sunny, sometimes rainy Glasgow with a lot of expertise, even more insider knowledge, and a great deal of patience and humor. The pictures were all amazing: Murals alternated with classic graffiti and commissioned works by the city. Lots of creative input and a worth-seeing reflection of this multi-layered city. Thank you very much, dear Grace❤️

Best Tour in Glasgow

Lauren did a fantastic job. She’s by far the best tour guide I’ve had in a long time. Her knowledge of Glasgow history is just impressive. She makes time fly by! Appreciated the fact that she talks about street art and its connection to the city too. Great tour, will do it again when I come back!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable experience with Harry!

Harry was an absolutely fantastic tour driver for our trip through the Scottish Highlands! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole journey enjoyable from start to finish. The scenery was breathtaking, and Harry made the experience even more special with his local knowledge, interesting stories, and great sense of humour. He made sure we had plenty of opportunities to take photos and enjoy the beautiful surroundings, and his passion for Scotland really shone through. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide to show us the magic of the Highlands! Thank you, Harry, for making our trip so memorable. We would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Scotland. An absolute credit to the tour company and a well-deserved 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great for an Outlander fan

This was a great tour for any Outlander fan. Our guide, Young Steven, was awesome and informative. Seeing the filming locations was really fun. Unfortunately, Midhope Castle (Lallybroch) is a very missed opportunity. The owners could make it really amazing, but choose not to. It's still cool to see.
