Exceptional Day!
We had Fergie as a guide, and it was the best tour I've been on to date! Our small group was the only ones on the tour, so we got a very personal experience. Fergie was super personable and had great knowledge of the countryside and places we visited. I love hearing about the history, but also getting to learn more about the area and culture. 11/10, would do again in a heartbeat!

Epic Scottish Highlands Experience
This is a phenomenal tour of the Scottish highlands. It’s structured in a way that you see several scenic spots with time to explore and eat in the picturesque town of Oban. You’ll experience so much in one day with no stress on logistics. Our tour guide Scott was amazing- very knowledgeable, a great driver, and super entertaining and funny. He provided the full authentic Scottish experience, and had an incredible music playlist for our drive. I was pleasantly surprised to hear Pet Shop Boys on our journey back. Thank you Scott for a very memorable tour! Highly recommend

We had a great day trip...
We had a great day trip with Tony to Loch Lomond and Stirling Castle. Tony was a very fun and informative Guide with lots of information regarding the history and local stories of this area. We appreciated his detail on the stops and suggestions for must see spots and also food availability at each stop. Thanks Tony for a great day exploring Scotland !!

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.

Gorgeous Places in the Scottish Highlands
This is a fantastic overview of the Scottish Highlands. The sites visited on this excursion are wonderful, especially Inveraray! Even though it was showery off and on, the Highlands were beautiful and the stops were interesting. June, our guide, did a great job telling us about the area....and our driver was excellent.
Suggestion: Maybe one less stop so more time could be spent in both Inveraray and Luss.

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!

Engaging and detailed walking tour of Glasgow
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.!

Adventure!!!!
We had an amazing experience. Although we couldn’t reach our final destination (Loch Ness) because of a traffic collision- we had a wonderful time. Our guide Blair was unbelievable! He improvised and we explored a different route. He kept very clam under pressure due to the accident and made the whole experience fun. We could thank Blair enough. A credit to the company.

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.

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.
