What are people saying about Glasgow

Glasgow: Glenfinnan Viaduct & The Highlands

Irene_S, Jul 2026

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.

Tour with Michelle, what a treat.

What a wonderful trip. I cannot speak for other guides, but Michelle was absolutely wonderful. She made the long — but thoroughly worthwhile — day-long tour fly by. Her humor and knowledge were an absolute pleasure. By the end of the day I felt I had gotten far more than the itinerary promised.

Loch Lomond and Stirling Castle Small Group Tour from Glasgow

Willow_K, Jul 2026

I would do it again

It is hard to pick a tour when you have so many options. I myself have taken 5 while in Scotland. I must say the tour guide makes the day and Gary made mine. I met an amazing group of people but Gary made sure to address us by name and gave us facts that were not only historic but fun. He constantly checked on us and kept us in our toes. A special side stop to see a beautiful view. It says a lot about a person when other company tour guides came over just to say hello while we had free time. I’m so grateful I picked this tour. From the cruise to the special surprise stop. It was the perfect day. Thank you Gary for showing us why Scotland is so amazing.

Olivia_W, Jul 2026

We had a great time....

We had a great time. Davey even wrangled the cows for us, even though the place was crowded, so our group was able to meet all 3. We chose this tour because it’s one of the few without that crazy 11/12 hour timeline. It was well paced between driving and exploring. Would recommend.

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

Dana_G, Jul 2026

Great Guides, Great Stops, Great Day!

We had a wonderful shore excursion from Greenock with Sandra and Michael. The tour was very well planned, with just the right amount of time at each stop so we never felt rushed or like we were waiting around. Since we were visiting from a cruise ship, they were very mindful of our schedule and reassured us throughout the day that we'd be back to the port with plenty of time. Their knowledge of the area's history and the stories they shared at each stop made the experience even more enjoyable. Sandra and Michael were friendly, organized, and clearly knowledgeable about the area. We highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Greenock by cruise ship or just visiting the area.

Excellent..

Big owl was our tour guide, he went over and above his tour guide duties where we were able to feel relaxed, entertained and fully informed about our surroundings and the tour in general. We would have no hesitation in recommending big L or any tour put on by this company. Keep up the good work.

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

Valerie_S, Jul 2026

A wonderful sightseeing adventure

We had a wonderful excursion with our tour guide Chris, and a great group of other adventurers. Chris was personable and knowledgeable. We discussed many things from books and folklore to movies and history. We went many places over long distances, so the stops were short, but this is a great opportunity to get some.gorgeous photos and a taste of some beautiful places, planting the desire to return and give your favorites more attention. Scotland isn't somewhere you can experience in 1 visit and we cannot wait to come back.

City Sightseeing Glasgow Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

Marisa_B, Jul 2026

Good view of Glasgow with lots of History

Very educational and good price. Riders may want to choose a bus with headphone tour so that they may hear best and in their own language. Bus on July 1st boarded at alternate stop and better visuals or communication would be helpful. Some of route had adjustments due to roadworks (with 2 stops out of order but adjacent stops very close for backtracking). For this reason we are not sure of entire route for future, but we thoroughly enjoyed the entire ride and decided not to disembark at any point.

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.
