Top Glasgow Day Trips

David is an excellent tour guide. He not only showed us murals, he also explained the background of the work and the artists. We believe that he knows a lot more than he showed us! But with the time constraint, he can only show us about 8 murals and sculptures. I wish we could see more pieces in the Tour.

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!

Tour guide Gabe was a true font of information about the history and culture of Glasgow. Gabe was full of fun anecdotes and answered every question even random ones with thorough and informed answers. It was really one of the best walking tours I’ve had of a city in quite a long time.!

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!

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.

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!

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.

The tour was absolutely fantastic. Our guide was very informative, professional, and made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. We visited all the main tourist attractions, and honestly, the experience exceeded my expectations. There were 15 people on the tour(capacity for 16), and the bus had air conditioning, which made the journey comfortable. If you are prone to travel sickness, I would recommend taking an anti-sickness tablet beforehand — my husband did, and he was completely fine throughout the trip. The café stops did not have a huge food selection, but for me, the focus was more on the attractions and scenery than the food itself. One thing I would strongly recommend is bringing a coat, jacket, or jumper, even if you usually do not get cold like me. Since you are quite high above sea level, it can get very cold and windy. Something I really wanted to know before the tour was whether there would be toilets available during the journey — and yes, there were. The guide clearly informed us about toilet stops throughout the day, which I really appreciated. The meeting point is at the bus station between platforms 22–32. I personally struggled to find it at first and had to call the company, but they answered immediately and directed me straight away. To be fair, nobody else seemed to have trouble finding it, so it might just be me. We left at 07:15hrs and returned at 18:30hrs. Leaving early in the morning made a huge difference. We got the best photos with far fewer people around and avoided a lot of traffic. Finally, a special mention to Fergio, our driver — he was brilliant!
