What are people saying about Glasgow

Debra_P, Aug 2026

I wish it could have gone on for longer!

David was very well very versed in Glaswegian street art. He was entertaining, as well as informative. He knew the background stories to each piece. The walk was for all fitness levels, and he made sure we stuck together and stayed safe. I appreciated his knowledge and his friendly, outgoing personality.

GREENOCK (GLASGOW) SHORE EXCURSION: Scotland Adventure Sightseeing Day Trip Tour

Erin_C, Aug 2026

Had a great time! Our bus...

Had a great time! Our bus driver and tour guide were amazing! I loved the tour guide’s historical knowledge and story telling. Often we find it a bit boring, but she made it fun and interesting. What I don’t like is the lack of options for tipping. In other tours we’ve been on, there is a QR code on the bus, or some other way of tipping that doesn’t involve cash. So we weren’t able to tip our guide. This shouldn’t be.

Shirley_N, Aug 2026

Lovely day trip

This was a thoroughly enjoyable trip. Our driver and guide James, was extremely knowledgeable and explained all the sites as we went along. The guided tour of Sterling Castle was great and our guide was very clear and informative. We enjoyed the boat trip on Loch Lomond even though the weather eas not great.

Loch Ness, Glencoe and Highlands Small Group Tour from Glasgow

Shannon_A, Jul 2026

Scott (the Scot) saves the day!

We had Scott (the Scot) for our tour to Loch Ness. Well, what an adventure! We were getting close to our rendezvous with , when a bad accident up the road blocked our travel plans. Quick thinking Scott (the Scot) did a swift turnaround and took us off on another adventure that didn’t leave us sitting on the side of the road for a few hours (as the highway had become blocked). A HUGE thank you to our highly entertaining and wonderful host, as the adventures kept coming, despite the truck accident, the wind, the rain, and hundreds of other people around. We had a brilliant day and got to see so much! Would highly recommend Scott (the Scot) as a tour guide - he was fantastic! Shannon and (Aussie) Scott

Glasgow: Glenfinnan Viaduct & The Highlands

Irene_S, Jul 2026

Absolutely loved this!!

I had an absolutely incredible trip, which ended up being the highlight of my trip to Scotland. I had been nervous about the tour, since I was travelling solo, but as soon as I met the guide all my nerves melted away. Caitlin was super kind, as were the seven others on the tour, and the small size of the tour made it feel like a personal group trip. And there were plenty of bathroom stops and places to get food throughout the day, which had been another of my worries. The drive was also very comfortable, and photo opportunities were plentiful. The tour itself was incredible! The weather happened to be amazing that day, so we could see everything so clearly, and the highlands are just breathtaking. Caitlin was extremely knowledgeable and provided us with fascinating stories about the sights and played us a variety of Scottish music to set the scene. I actually ended up finding her playlists on Spotify afterwards. I didn't just see the highlands and learn more about them, I had an incredible day that left me wanting to return with my friends and share the experience with them. I would highly recommend this tour! And if you happen to get Caitlin as a guide, consider yourself very lucky!! She is a very big part of why this tour was so great for me.

Catherine_H, Jul 2026

Excellent day out

We were regaled with stories about Scottish history, jokes, and interesting facts from the moment we stepped on Wee Davey's bus until the moment we left. He played music to set some stories, suggested the best spots for pictures and snacks and made my daughter's day with a special visit to see, feed and cuddle some Highland Coos! We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone hoping to see some of the highlights of the Highlands in only 1 day. Very satisfied! Don't forget to tip your tour operator ❤️

I’ll do it again

Get ready for any kind of weather. Go all the way up to see the train (don’t be lazy). The views from there are amazing, plus the train that looks like bringing the past back. Leave enough room in your phone (or camera), because you’ll need it for all the pictures you’ll be taking.

Glasgow City Centre Walking Tour with Local Guide

Susan_N, Jul 2026

Very good, but really only scratched the surface of Glasgow city centre

It was only possible to cover a relatively small area of Glasgow in the time allowed, and I was a bit disappointed that we didn't at least visit the Cathedral and the Necropolis as had been promised. But on the plus side we did get an unrivalled tour of the impressive murals in that quarter of the city; our guide was very knowledgeable about these and the other sites we visited , and altogether it was a very interesting and enjoyable time.

Oban, Highland Lochs, Glens,Castles and Glencoe Tour from Glasgow

Valerie_S, Jul 2026

A wonderful sightseeing adventure

We had a wonderful excursion with our tour guide Chris, and a great group of other adventurers. Chris was personable and knowledgeable. We discussed many things from books and folklore to movies and history. We went many places over long distances, so the stops were short, but this is a great opportunity to get some.gorgeous photos and a taste of some beautiful places, planting the desire to return and give your favorites more attention. Scotland isn't somewhere you can experience in 1 visit and we cannot wait to come back.

City Sightseeing Glasgow Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

Marisa_B, Jul 2026

Good view of Glasgow with lots of History

Very educational and good price. Riders may want to choose a bus with headphone tour so that they may hear best and in their own language. Bus on July 1st boarded at alternate stop and better visuals or communication would be helpful. Some of route had adjustments due to roadworks (with 2 stops out of order but adjacent stops very close for backtracking). For this reason we are not sure of entire route for future, but we thoroughly enjoyed the entire ride and decided not to disembark at any point.

Glasgow: Loch Ness, Glencoe & The Highlands

Frances_C, Jun 2026

Everything you could ever want in a tour that can only last a day!

Truly so special! Our guide Stuart was so knowledgeable and fun! The bus was really comfortable and being able to just look out the huge windows and enjoy was top notch. Sailing on Loch Ness was a highlight for sure but each stop we made brought the vistas you dream of when traveling to Scotland. When I come back I will definitely be choosing another tour with Stewart. Thank you!!!
