• 5Gorgeous Places in the Scottish Highlands

  This is a fantastic overview of the Scottish Highlands. The sites visited on this excursion are wonderful, especially Inveraray! Even though it was showery off and on, the Highlands were beautiful and the stops were interesting. June, our guide, did a great job telling us about the area....and our driver was excellent. Suggestion: Maybe one less stop so more time could be spent in both Inveraray and Luss.

• 5Very informative

  Very easy to book. We took a cruise, and they were waiting for us at the port. The price was much less than the cruise excursion. Would highly recommend.

• 4Beautiful but not enough time.

  This is a good tour, we enjoyed visiting all the sites. Our guide Nester was excellent, very knowledgeable and dressed in a full kilt. Our only complaint is that there was not enough time to enjoy the stops. At the Inveraray Castle, we barely had enough time to see the castle and make it back to the bus before we left.

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.
