We received great...
We received great communication from the company about booking, paying, and detailed information about meeting time and location. Tour stops were as described and, in spite of miserable weather, our guide Dave kept us entertained with his good nature and vast knowledge of Scotland and its history. Happy to recommend this tour to anyone visiting Glasgow who is interested in venturing out of the city to see some of the highlands.

Fun and different you should do it!
This was a great different tour around the city. It’s not so much a guided tour but they did tell you about a few places. But they were both fun and super friendly. The food was surprisingly very tasty and enjoyable. A glass of prosecco and a coffee or tea were included but extra drinks were available for purchase. Met some nice people who were also in the tour we went to Sloans and then to china sea for dinner so turned out to be an all around great day.

Great tour for those...
Great tour for those interested in visiting St. Andrew's! The ride from Galsgow to St. Andrew's has a few stops of interest such as the Kelpies and the village where they filmed a bit of Outlander. The tour is built to allow you 30ish minutes in each to walk around, stretch your legs, grab a snack and use the facilities. The stop at St. Andrew's gives you more time to explore, just over 3 hours to walk around and check out the Old Course, the history of golf museum, and all the shops. There are plenty of shops and restaurants to eat on Market Street as well.
Our tour guide, Neil was great and really provided us with a lot of stories and Scottish history on the drive.

It’s a wonderful tour. George was our great tour guide.
We chose the Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond, and cruise tour with George and we were glad we did. Our tour guide George was very knowledgeable about the history and the area in and around Glasgow. Great sense of humor too. We would definitely recommend George for all the Glasgow tours.

Great tour with a great guide!
Traveled with Jack and had a great day! He gave a lot of information and answered all of the questions that the group had. We had the perfect amount of time in each location. On the way back to the city he gave the group an option of what to do and everyone picked the Highland cows. Great tour and highly recommend it!

So Amazing!
My first time being in Scotland and wanted a way to explore and see the beauty of the highlands that I always read about and the history. Gary was our guide and I really want to give him a big shout out for doing what he does. I am American and had no trouble understanding what he was saying. He knew the history, told it in a fun and very entertaining way, we laughed and awed. The trip was very comfortable. He also went out of his way to show us extra stuff along the way. Can't thank him enough for making the experience worth every single pence. I will definitely be looking forward to another trip. Thank you again Gary for giving us a wonderful experience.

Outlander & Beyond!
Great tour of some interesting historical landmarks in the area north of Glasgow & Edinburgh. It was themed around the Outlander tv programne, but you didn't need to be a fan to appreciate the history.
One castle we visited was used for the filming of Monty Python & the Holy Grail and 'horses' were available to purchase from their gift shop!
The tour was hosted by Grant - a lovely local guy - with lots of interesting historical facts & fascinating snippets to bring the journey to life.
A fab day out!

For those who want it all!!! Also Daniel is incredible
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.

Great Tour!
Gabriel, our tour guide was a fountain of knowledge about all the murals and Glasgow in general. Considering the weather was wet and windy, he entertained and kept the group interested right to the end. We saw a whole variety of different murals.It was a great tour- highly recommended!

Tour leader was very good...
Tour leader was very good we were disappointed that if you just wanted to look at the outside of the castle the bus waited and took you into town for the meeting place. If you took the castle tour you had to walk. On a nice day the 10 minute walk wouldn't have been a problem. In the pouring rain we got drenched.. it would have been great if the bus could have come back for those that took the tour after a half hour. Other than that the tour was great.

Informative leisurely walk around Glasgow
Not only informative but highly entertaining. Stephen our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. We met at the prearranged stop and took a leisurely paced walk to some of the city highlights and attractions. Stories and facts abound delivered in a cheery fashion. Was a great way to get your bearings and revisit some of the spots you might want to take a better look at. Great value for money. Highly recommend.

Great drivers and crew!
Had trouble pulling up the tickets when we were trying to board for the first time, but the staff and drivers were all completely understanding and went out of their way to make sure our booking went on without a hitch. Great way to experience the city and to see what we might want to come back to for longer visits during our trip.

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.
