  • 5Really Good Tour

    Keshava was absolutely fantastic and clearly knew his subject inside out. He worked hard to keep the tour engaging and entertaining throughout. His knowledge of all the sites we visited was impressive, and his jovial personality, along with a few well-timed jokes, made the experience even more enjoyable. We were also fortunate enough to visit Stirling Castle and Commando Memorial at the foot of Ben Nevis, which were definite highlights. Keshava's enthusiasm, expertise, and friendly approach truly made the trip memorable. Thanks to him, I would happily recommend Highland Experience to others.

  • 5Fantastic one day highlands tour

    This was a fantastic tour! An excellent taste of the highlands, as someone who had limited time in Scotland this was perfect. Our guide, Keshava, was amazing and extremely knowledgeable in Scottish history and folktales. Thanks for a great experience!

About Glasgow

Glasgow is Scotland's largest city, a Victorian port on the Clyde with galleries, live music and red-sandstone terraces, and Loch Lomond close by.

Glasgow grew on the River Clyde through shipbuilding, tobacco and trade, and its Victorian wealth shows in the red sandstone of its terraces, museums and merchant halls. The medieval cathedral, which survived the Reformation intact, stands beside the Necropolis, a hill of Victorian tombs. The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, a red-stone palace, holds Salvador Dalí's Christ of St John of the Cross and a Spitfire hanging in its hall.

Top-ranked sights in Glasgow: Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park, Glasgow Cathedral, George Square.
