Edinburgh to Glasgow- an Aussie Adventure

Mark_S, Aug 2025

Our guide was outstanding adjusting the tour to suit our needs. We experienced everything listed plus more around Edinburgh, on the way to Glasgow and around Glasgow. The information was very clear and suitable to our needs and experience from previous visits. Our guide was an excellent communicator mixing information with anecdotes and with a touch of humour. History and current culture were mixed well and made the whole day a brilliant experience.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

We’re so glad to hear your guide made the day both informative and fun, with just the right balance of history and culture. It sounds like you discovered a lot of new highlights along the way, and we’re thrilled it turned into such a brilliant experience for you.

Glasgow day tour Excellent

Pauline_S, Jul 2025

This tour was an excellent way to see a lot of Glasgow. Our tour guide, Stuart was phenomenal. He provided so much great information on Scotland history, culture, and current issues. He wonderfully answered all our questions and we had great dialogue. This tour with Stuart as a guide is a must do tour.

Book this tour! Darren is the best!

Jessica_A, Oct 2024

My family and I (6 adults) had a fantastic day with our wonderful guide/driver, Darren. Upon meeting us at our hotel, Darren learned that we were really only going to Glasgow because we felt we should and we had other things we were hoping to see but we couldn’t find a tour that met our needs. Darren then made some suggestions for the day and we were so glad he did! We ended up going to all the places we hoped to visit and then some. Darren was a delight to spend the day with, such a warm and funny man! He kept his car stocked with water and Scottish treats for us. Following the tour, he sent over some recommendations for places to visit in Edinburgh as well as some restaurants and pubs. I would highly recommend this tour!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Dear Jessica, Thank you so much for sharing your fantastic experience with Darren! We’re thrilled to hear that he was able to tailor the day to your interests and turn your trip into something even more special. It’s wonderful that you not only visited all the places you had hoped for but also discovered some unexpected gems along the way. Darren’s warmth, humor, and thoughtful extras like the treats and recommendations are exactly what we aim for, and we’re so glad he made your day memorable. We hope to welcome you back for more adventures in the future! Best regards, Ashley
