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!

Beautiful and interesting.
It was a fun and interesting experience. The guide described the places we visited and, during the transfers, talked about the history of Scotland. It would have been nice to stop longer at some stops, but even with a tight schedule, you can appreciate what Scotland has to offer.

Energetic and informative roadtrip
Our guide and driver Jack was A1. The coach we travelled in was clean and comfortable with a great playlist to capture the rhythm and vibe of Scotland. We visited picture perfect Lough Lomond, Glencoe and Loch Ness in a day of seasons - bring your umbrella. The rain added to the serenity of the Highlands and returned safely to Glasgow! Jack was witty, knowledgeable and passionately Caledonian!

Tour from 09/30/2026
The tour was well planned; although I had already been in the Highlands, Stuart showed me many other spots. Stuart also provided many interesting facts.
For this price-performance ratio, you simply cannot give less than 5 out of 5 points.
Great guide in a great country!

We had a great day trip...
We had a great day trip with Tony to Loch Lomond and Stirling Castle. Tony was a very fun and informative Guide with lots of information regarding the history and local stories of this area. We appreciated his detail on the stops and suggestions for must see spots and also food availability at each stop. Thanks Tony for a great day exploring Scotland !!

If You’ve Seen One Castle, You Haven’t Seen Them All
Steve McQueen was our tour guide. He did really great and shared lots of history about Scotland and the show, Outlander. We had a small group which made it much better. Ample time to see everything on the tour. The weather was beautiful despite Steve almost jinxing it; haha. A+++++

Great tour - we loved every minute!
This was our favorite excursion of the entire trip. Sandra was a fabulous guide - she gave us lots of information and she was friendly and fun. We got to see a lot of things in one day and did not feel rushed. This tour made me fall in love with Scotland.

Red bus tour with scones!
This was a lot of fun. The food was fabulous. The staff was friendly and courteous. We met nice people to talk to as well The rest stop turned out to be a very interesting museum worth browsing through as well. I recommend this tour if you love scones and sweets!

Fantastic tour with Davy
We had one of the best experiences, partly because we got in the bus with a live guide who was really funny - Davy! He was hilarious to the point where no one wanted to get off the bus because we enjoyed it so much. The tour itself is really well structured and so much to see.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Highlands landscapes, historic castles, and windswept islands are just a day trip away from Glasgow. In fact, the city makes an ideal starting point for exploring the Scottish countryside. These Glasgow day trips whisk you from city streets to regions of moors and lochs, and some feature stops to sample Scottish whisky from famed distilleries. Whether you're seeking the perfect hiking trail or following in the footsteps of Outlander, you'll have access to an informative guide and round-trip transportation from and to the city.
