It was an excellent tour....
It was an excellent tour. We saw a variety of sites with plenty of time for photos, well as had plenty of time to shop and grab a coffee in Inveraray and plenty of time to eat and shop in Oban. Photo stops in Glencoe were spectacular. Our guide Chris was terrific. Provide lots of great information and made the trip fun.

Fantastic tour
This was a fantastic opportunity to learn more about Glasgow, its history, its Universities and its places of worship. Sophie was a more than excellent guide. She was charismatic, intelligent, and was able to answer every question put to her. We thoroughly enjoyed interacting with her which made the tour even more enjoyable.

Fantastic tour, beyond value for cost, excellent guide/driver.
What an excellent day this was. We experienced sunshine, rain, clouds…perfect Scottish weather. Because our timing was well maintained at each stop, we were able to make a few extra stops along the way to take extra photos in the Highlands. Our guide/driver Harry was exceptional. The added Scottish related onboard music in different legs of the tour was an added bonus. We appreciated his humour and his telling of the history of the areas we visiting . Along with his attention to our safety. Excellent job and we’re grateful we had such a great time and guide.

If You’ve Seen One Castle, You Haven’t Seen Them All
Steve McQueen was our tour guide. He did really great and shared lots of history about Scotland and the show, Outlander. We had a small group which made it much better. Ample time to see everything on the tour. The weather was beautiful despite Steve almost jinxing it; haha. A+++++

Fun mural tour
Quite a bit of walking involved, but well worth it! We were shown many murals and our guide was quite knowledgeable about the artists and their art works. I highly recommend this tour which takes you to neighborhoods you wouldn’t otherwise find on your own.

Matt was amazing!!
Matt was our guide and he was absolutely wonderful! He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many fascinating insights about the history, culture, and surrounding area. His genuine love and enthusiasm for Scotland made the entire experience even more memorable. He also kept us organized and on schedule without ever making the tour feel rushed. We learned so much, had a fantastic time, and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend!

Highlands in all its glory
First of all, the best part of the trip was our driver Jeff from Glasgow. He had a wealth of knowledge not just about our tour. He was great and he even made a quick stop so I could meet a Highland Cow.
The tour itself was a very long day but was so worth it. Driving through the Highlands was breathtaking with many stops along the way for photos. Loch Ness was a charming little place and we enjoyed our boat ride although we never met the illustrious Nessie. The drive back was just as good as the ride there!

Great tour - we loved every minute!
This was our favorite excursion of the entire trip. Sandra was a fabulous guide - she gave us lots of information and she was friendly and fun. We got to see a lot of things in one day and did not feel rushed. This tour made me fall in love with Scotland.

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.

Red bus tour with scones!
This was a lot of fun. The food was fabulous. The staff was friendly and courteous. We met nice people to talk to as well The rest stop turned out to be a very interesting museum worth browsing through as well. I recommend this tour if you love scones and sweets!

Fantastic tour with Davy
We had one of the best experiences, partly because we got in the bus with a live guide who was really funny - Davy! He was hilarious to the point where no one wanted to get off the bus because we enjoyed it so much. The tour itself is really well structured and so much to see.
