What are people saying about Glasgow

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

Diane_W, Jul 2026

Day tour to Oban

Loved the day trip that went to Inverary, Oban with photo stops in Glencoe area. There were several short stops along the way to see the sights and stretch your legs. The stop at Inverary was good. Perhaps a little less time was needed in Inverary to permit more time in Oban. The stop in Oban was great - had a wonderful seafood lunch there. Our guide Kieran was great and had lots of stories about Scotland to tell. Really enjoyed our tour with Kieren.

This was a fantastic day tour. It was informative without ever feeling overwhelming, and the guide shared plenty of interesting facts and local insights throughout the day. Everything was well organized, and the itinerary was timed perfectly, giving enough time at each stop without ever feeling rushed or bored. As a solo traveler, I found it to be a great experience. I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone, especially if you’re traveling on your own and want a fun, well-planned day out.

Fantastic Tour!

I cannot say enough good things about Stuart and Caitlin and this tour! They were both incredibly knowledgeable about all things Scotland, including but not limited to whiskey recommendations, and the vast history of Scotland. I absolutely recommend booking this tour for those interested in seeing fantastic views and learning all about them.

Loch Ness & the Highlands Day Tour from Glasgow Including Cruise

Calli_F, Jun 2026

Must do tour out of Glasgow!! Highlight of our trip!

Our day tour to Loch Ness and the Highlands from Glasgow with Old Cameron was absolutely incredible — my friend and I both agreed it was the highlight of our entire trip! Cameron was a phenomenal storyteller. He didn’t just share facts about the places we visited; he brought them to life with fascinating stories, local lore, and history about the landscapes we were traveling through. His passion for Scotland truly made the journey unforgettable. The tour was thoughtfully planned, with every stop adding something special to the experience. One of the most memorable moments was Cameron making sure we got to see Highland cows — it was such a magical experience and a perfect Scottish moment! We had the best time and would absolutely take another Rabbie’s tour with Old Cameron again. He made the day truly special, and we’re so grateful for the memories.

Sarah_H, Jun 2026

Give it a go!

Grace was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, friendly & professional, she really knows her street art! She told us quite a bit about the background linking it in with local history & famous inhabitants. We also learnt all the terminology & it was great to discover parts of Glasgow I wouldn't have seen otherwise. Bring an umbrella & wear warm clothes! I would thoroughly recommend it.

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

Pen_H, Jun 2026

Rainy day in Greenock

It was a rainy day, our tour guide Richard covered every stops in detail. We had a good time. There was a little problem of 20 minutes late starting, we think the problem was Richard didn’t know how many people were joining the tour so he didn’t know how long he should wait.

Glasgow Afternoon Tea Experience

Brooke_H, Mar 2026

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.

Marjory_C, Oct 2025

Would highly recommend this trip

This was an excellent tour round most of the major places in the city. As a proud native of Glasgow l really enjoyed Luke’s very informative commentary, a mix of information and humour which l thought was pitched absolutely right. Brian was our driver on two of the stages and gave ample time for safe embarking and disembarking.
