Top Glasgow Day Trips

The tour was absolutely fantastic. Our guide was very informative, professional, and made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. We visited all the main tourist attractions, and honestly, the experience exceeded my expectations. There were 15 people on the tour(capacity for 16), and the bus had air conditioning, which made the journey comfortable. If you are prone to travel sickness, I would recommend taking an anti-sickness tablet beforehand — my husband did, and he was completely fine throughout the trip. The café stops did not have a huge food selection, but for me, the focus was more on the attractions and scenery than the food itself. One thing I would strongly recommend is bringing a coat, jacket, or jumper, even if you usually do not get cold like me. Since you are quite high above sea level, it can get very cold and windy. Something I really wanted to know before the tour was whether there would be toilets available during the journey — and yes, there were. The guide clearly informed us about toilet stops throughout the day, which I really appreciated. The meeting point is at the bus station between platforms 22–32. I personally struggled to find it at first and had to call the company, but they answered immediately and directed me straight away. To be fair, nobody else seemed to have trouble finding it, so it might just be me. We left at 07:15hrs and returned at 18:30hrs. Leaving early in the morning made a huge difference. We got the best photos with far fewer people around and avoided a lot of traffic. Finally, a special mention to Fergio, our driver — he was brilliant!

This was a wonderful tour with plenty of short stops to see sights and stretch your legs. Martin did a great job as our driver and guide. The audio was clearly understood and he interjected stories, music and humor along with history. Highly recommend this tour.

It was a great excursion that catered to everyone in our party. It was a nice combination of bus and walking around time. I really enjoyed everything on the itinerary and there was plenty of time to see everything. I would highly recommend. We made it back in plenty of time before the cruise ship left.

I joined a full-day tour with Travel Scotland as a solo traveller and it was excellent. I was nervous about going alone, but the small group, friendly guide, and comfortable bus made it easy and enjoyable. The scenery was spectacular the entire way. Glencoe felt wild and dramatic – perfect for photos and soaking up the atmosphere. Glenfinnan was the highlight, with stunning views over Loch Shiel and the iconic viaduct. The stops were well-paced, giving us time to explore without feeling rushed. Great mix of history, landscapes, and Scottish charm. Hassle-free and highly recommended for solo travellers or anyone wanting to see the Highlands. I’d book with them again without hesitation. 5/5 driver was fantastic five stars🏆🏆🏆

Jeff C. was a great driver and tour guide. He gave us many good suggestions to keep our timing on track at each stop. St. Andrew's was amazing and the Kelpies was the experience I was waiting for! The stops in Falkland and Crail were also perfect sight seeing. I highly recommend and would definitely book again.

We had a very pleasant day with John. He was very informative and good fun. Making our day a day to remember. The scenery was stunning and we saw Hairy Coos, which I was hoping we would. Loch Lomond was beautiful an enjoyable cruise. Would highly recommend this tour.

This was a wonderful day. It is a 12 hour bus day, so be prepared for that. Glen was our bus driver and tour guide. He was an incredible storyteller. Among the entire journey, he kept us entertained with true stories., facts, music, and history all about Scotland. We made numerous stops with incredible views to photograph. Glen made sure that we stopped in a little cafe that allowed us the opportunity to feed and pet coos. I think, if we had the opportunity to do this in the summer months, when the days are longer, we might have even seen more.If possible. The cruise on the Loch was just as wonderful. Great storytelling, and just long enough to enjoy on a rainy day.

This was such a an amazing experience, you get a bit of everything - castles, ruins, lochs and waterside strolls, charming villages, highland coos (❤️), and film locations all in one! Our guide Daniel N. Was so incredible and made it an unforgettable experience. We were also very lucky to have a sunny day with perfect visibility to see the mountains at every stop, with only a passing shower that resulted in a rainbow. The small group size made for a comfortable experience, the ability to ask questions and laugh and tell stories, and ultimately take the time each location deserved.
