Fantastic
Liz did a great job showing us all of the various murals around the city. We had her earlier in the day for the central tour, and we were afraid that we would see the same artwork during this tour. Luckily everything that she showed us was very new/different. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and will be recommending it to our friends.

Wonderful tour!
Wonderful experience! Alistair was an amazing host, he started the tour right with Glasgow’s history and gave nuances about the places we passed by. Since the group size was small, there wasn’t any fuss about delays or others causing unnecessary trouble.

It's 100% worth it! Every landscape is fantastic and the trip is scheduled pretty well.
Also driver Sam was very kind, helpful and funny. He kept us a great company during the long bus drive and he was a fantastic tour guide. We learned so many things!

Great Experience and Tour Guide!!
This was an incredible tour of Scotland! Our tour guide, Al, made the trip worth it! He was very entertaining and knowledgeable about Scotland. The stops gave us plenty of time to explore and sights we saw during the drive were beautiful. We were transported in a Mercedes Sprinter Van that was spacious enough to be comfortable but also kept the group at a small enough size to allow us to visit more sites and stay on schedule. We are grateful for the experience we had and that we had Al as our tour guide!

Excellent 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.

Vas dazzles
Ask for Vas, our girl guide. Such enthusiasm, great humor, and great knowledge and insight. She actually made me forget the rain!! But, please give this guide an orange City Tour rain proof jacket!! She was completely soaked through wearing the thinning windbreaker you provide. Thank you.

A Solo Traveller’s dream Highland Adventure: Glenfinnan & Glencoe
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🏆🏆🏆

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.

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.

I had a lovely time. Jeff...
I had a lovely time. Jeff C from Glasgow was phenomenal (not to be confused with Jeff from Edinburgh, I don’t know that guy). He knew so much history which was much appreciated and he was also really funny. I really wanted to see Highland Cows and he made sure that I got to. We covered so much of the Scottish countryside I would’ve never got to see otherwise. Would 100% recommend for anyone!

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 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.
