Ride with Jeff C. to see the country
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.

Absolutely amazing tour and highly recommended
Absolutely amazing!
We recently took the Glenfinnan Viaduct, Glencoe & Loch Shiel Tour from Glasgow and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Everything ran incredibly smoothly — the pickup in Glasgow was on time, the van was comfortable, and the itinerary flowed beautifully without any rush or delays.
Our tour guide, Alan, was outstanding — easily one of the most knowledgeable guides we’ve ever had. His passion for Scotland shone through as he shared fascinating details about the ins and outs of Scottish history, the dramatic mountains, the mountain stories, and the geology and folklore of the Highlands. He made every stop come alive with context, and we learned so much while still having plenty of time to enjoy the views and take photos.
The highlights were incredible:
Glencoe was absolutely majestic — the scale of the valley and the rugged peaks left us speechless. Alan’s stories about the Glencoe Massacre and the dramatic landscape made it even more memorable.
Loch Shiel was peaceful and stunning, with that perfect mix of water, mountains, and quiet beauty. It felt like stepping into a postcard.
We enjoyed every single bit of the day — the scenery was world-class, the pace was ideal, and the whole experience felt personal and special thanks to the small group size and Alan’s expertise. This was easily one of the best day tours we’ve done in Scotland. Highly recommend it to anyone wanting to experience the real magic of the Highlands!
Thank you Alan and the whole of your amazing team — we’ll definitely be back for another tour with you guys, next time probably to Skye or Isle of Mull.

Great way to learn Glasgow
Excellent Glasgow tour that truly exceeded our expectations. The guide was informative, engaging, and gave us a great overview of the city in a short amount of time. We would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Glasgow for the first time.
It is a walking tour, so comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are a must.

He was very knowledgeable not only with the sites he showed us but all things Scottish! Such a font of information that we all happily listened to. He was really what made this tour great! Thanks Kieran!

An Enjoyable Day
We had a wonderful day seeing the Highlands, the quaint towns and seaside stops. Alwin our guide spoke clearly and gave us a lot of historical information. We were on a cruise and had eight hours to spend. We were picked up and dropped off on time. A very enjoyable day.

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.

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!

We had a fabulous...
We had a fabulous Highlands tour. It’s a long day, particularly in the winter, with the limited daylight hours, but “old’ Cameron was an amazing guide. He has an impressive knowledge of the history, music, and nature of Scotland, and told great stories along the way. We all really enjoyed the boat on Loch Ness as well.

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!

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.
