Great day tour from Glasgow
jonmA7710LX, October 2026
First of all our tour guide was excellent. His name was Martin and he really made the trip enjoyable. I am a taller person so he et me ride in the jumpseat next to him so I would have leg room. Very thoughtful.
He was able to provide the right amount of history, local color, and trivia for each stop. He had a great sense of humor (don't all Scots😁) that kept the trip interesting.
We were able to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. It was a perfect day trip from Glasgow.

Fantastic Scenery
Samantha_C, October 2026
Our Guide Glasgow John was a brilliant driver and I felt very safe in the vehicle even when we were going through torrential rain in the Cairngorms. His knowledge and story telling of local landmarks and folklore was fascinating too.
The music he played in the van wasn’t always to my taste, and it would have been nice to have some quiet time on the bus as some passengers were jet lagged.
Also just be mindful that some people are sensitive to flashing disco lights before putting them on in the vehicle.
Plenty of comfort breaks and time enough to grab food before the Loch Ness boat trip.
Be prepared for a full 12 hour day.

It's ok, the landscape is...
twtkiddie, October 2026
It's ok, the landscape is outstanding but it's long day of seeing the same thing. The boat ride is ok but I'd pass on if I knew then what I know now.

Graeme is an excellent guide!
Mike_R, September 2026
Great trip. Graeme was our guide and he was excellent. He learned a little about each of us and tried to tailor conversations to us. His knowledge of Scotland and the area was unbelievable. Even better, he had us laughing almost the entire trip. I have been on many other tours with other companies and Graeme was by far the best I’ve ever had. I highly recommend.
