Best things to do from Glasgow

Amazing tour with ample opportunity to view and amazing knowledge. Our Driver/Guide was so funny and informative. He has a big big bag of knowledge and jokes.

Driver great - Tour cancelations depressing

Our driver K was top of the line (he rates 5 stars) the tour itself was really good until we got to the Coos - that experience was a joke. Very poorly done and oversold yet under performed. Plus getting canceled TWICE and only able to reschedule one due to our schedule was a really depressing situation. We planned this tours months in advance and worked our Glasgow trip around them. Thank you for the refund but no thanks to ruining our plans.

Great day trip from Glasgow

It was an awesome day. We started right on time, and did not feel rushed all day. The bus was clean, comfortable and spacious. Our guide (Keshava) was knowledgeable and kind, providing several interesting stories and answering many of our questions. It’s a great way to see the highlands and lochs in an approachable and extremely accessible way. Every stop and the overall schedule was well explained and un-intimidating. Highly recommend
