A wonderful full day in the Highlands. Guide Terry was amazing! Cheerful & helpful to the end of the day, she provided massive amounts of Scottish history, folklore, music & some personal anecdotes, corny jokes too!
Gorgeous views on the cruise of Loch Ness. All added up to a superb day.

The speach was boring and not easy to understand. The application we had to use was bad. We had to look at the map for the whole time. The text didn‘t start automatically. We didn‘t finish the tour.
Response from Host, Oct 2024

Grant was a wonderful host on our trip up into the Highlands. His knowledge of history was remarkable and his driving made me feel very safe. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip.
Response from Host, Sep 2024

Reza_M, Jul 2024
The self guide tour was useful in seeing places on our own, specially if one is trying to it at own pace. The content was good as well. The functionality of app was a bit cumbersome as the user has to exit it, get on the map guide and then get back on the app again which would sometimes lose its place and have to start all over on the app. It would have been better if the person narrating can narrate you to the next location so never have to leave the guide app
Response from Host, Jul 2024

We appreciate your feedback on the app functionality. Integrating a more seamless navigation experience is something we are actively working to improve.

They lie over the phone that we meeting a person there but was nobody. We called them back and they said we paid for instructions only. ( I cam do that free ) . I called and requested refund!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi Elvira,
We're genuinely sorry for any confusion experienced regarding your Glasgow Self-Guided Tour. Our tours are designed as self-guided experiences, allowing you the freedom to explore at your own pace, without the need for a physical guide. This is detailed across Viator, TripAdvisor and our platform before and after purchase, including the tour title and description to ensure expectations align with the services provided.
After our conversation, we understood you were ready to enjoy the tour as intended. You seemed happy to do the tour as it was late at night and clearly no physical tours were available anywhere. It's disheartening to hear of your disappointment afterwards. Even though we helped you numerous times. While we aim to provide clear information about our tour's nature, it seems there was a misunderstanding.
We strive for transparency and customer satisfaction, but if you bought a product you did not understand properly and had different expectations about it, there isn't much we can do. But it is heartbreaking to hear you say our company is "lying", that is out of line and disrespectful.
Laura_B, Mar 2024
It was a very relaxed way to experience the city. I stopped along the way and looked at things that caught my eye. I took about 5hrs to do the tour, meandering and stopping for drams and lunch.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Laura, thrilled to hear our Glasgow tour offered the freedom to meander and explore at your leisure—drams, lunch, and all! We’re curious about what could make it a 5-star experience for you and are eager to improve. There’s nothing quite like discovering a city’s secrets on your terms, and we're here to guide you through each step. If you're ever in another city craving a similar adventure, we aim to make your next experience a 5-star one. Thanks for sharing your journey!

This was a great tour of Glasgow with a focus on history and modern street art. I really enjoyed the thorough history Katie gave.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the blend of history and modern street art in our Glasgow tour. She is indeed passionate about sharing the rich history of the area, and we're delighted it shone through. We hope to have the pleasure of guiding you on another adventure soon!
Warmest regards and happy travels!
Shaun_R, Jun 2023
The cathedral and murals were a favorite. The speaker's voice and detail explanations were perfect. Worth the tour!
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Thanks, Shaun! your review had us doing a little happy dance here at HQ! We're overjoyed you enjoyed Glasgow's historic charm and vibrant murals through our tour.
Your compliments about the speaker's voice? Music to our ears! We’ll make sure to pass your kind words to Alex – she's been rehearsing in the shower for moments like this. 😉
As for the detailed explanations, we leave no stone (or cathedral) unturned. We’re delighted you found it worth the tour, that's what we aim for - a good balance between fun, facts, and fascination!
Once again, thank you for joining us on this journey, Shaun. We can't wait to share more adventures with you, but for now, keep those tour vibes alive and keep exploring!
Paula_P, May 2023
It was very informative and the itinerary was truly great. Saw all the highlights of Glasgow in a couple of hours, perfect if you don't have enough time. Also really appreciated many of the arts and historic part of the city are mentioned, not all standard tour guides offer that. My only complaint is the quality of the audio; The voice of the narrator was low and it appeared to be recorded with a mic with no voice filtering.
Response from Host, May 2023
What a delight to hear you had a grand time on our Glasgow tour! We're thrilled you enjoyed the artsy and historic deep-dives - Glasgow's so much more than just its highlights, right?
But oh no, we hear your audio wasn't up to snuff. Apologies for that - it's like listening to bagpipes with cotton wool in your ears, we imagine! We're on it, and Alex is already planning to give that microphone a stern talking to (loudly, of course).
Thanks for pointing this out and making sure your future trips with us are as clear as a Scottish loch. Here's to uncovering more of the UK's delights with us!
Keep the tartan spirit high!

Schöne Tour mit ausreichende Erklärungen. Hilfreich wäre es noch, wenn am Ende jeder Erklärung ein kurzer Hinweis auf den nächsten Stop enthalten wäre.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Hello! thank you for the positive feedback and suggestion! We're glad you enjoyed the Glasgow tour. Adding directional hints at the end of each stop is a fantastic idea, and we’ll certainly consider integrating this feature to enhance the user experience. We appreciate your input!
