Glencoe was the setting to one of the most infamous periods in Scottish history, the Glencoe massacre which took place in 1692. The beautiful scenery is a visitors must see. We stop at Glencoe Visitor Centre to allow time to learn more about the history of the glen. The centre is also home to the turf house where you‘ll be able to see what life must have been like for the 500-600 strong community that lived here in 17th century Glencoe. We travel through the glen twice (morning and evening) and stop for photos and to take in the landscape while we are there.

What a lovely day we had with Tony. From the moment we were picked up in a comfortable mini coach, to when we were dropped back to the bus station in the evening we were given interesting facts and information which added to the experience of our tour. Everything about the day was planned thoughtfully with enough stops to stretch legs, have a comfort break or buy refreshments. When Tony was not talking to us he put background music or a commentary on to compliment the surroundings. The sun shone so the Autumn colours were beautiful. A great tour to get out of the city and see the Highlands.
great day out the driver...

It was like a trip with the funny uncle you see twice a year! -funny -welcomed -informative From the Start it was a warm welcome from our Tour Gide Gary. He made us feel like we are in a good place with our funny uncle we see twice a year. He has his kind of way to catch you, so you feel like this is a big family trip. I really liked it. We started the tour in Glasgow and from minute one he gave us information about the city with some funny side notes. Without wanting to give too much away about the tour, I can only speak for myself and my sister who did this tour with me. It was fantastic. You really get a great insight and forget about the hustle and bustle of the city for a moment. For all Harry Potter fans, this tour is definitely for you. Now let's get to the more useful tips for anyone interested: Definitely bring waterproof clothing or wear it if you book this trip in the fall. Waterproof shoes are a must! I also definitely recommend an umbrella and a rain jacket. So overall, dress warmly. In our case, we each had a backpack with snacks and camera equipment, which was worth it for us. However, you pass by plenty of spots where you can get coffee/tea and meals if you want. So if you're interested in a great tour where you see a lot and just want to unwind, then you're in the right place. Discover Scotland is a family-run business, and you can really tell. I believe no matter which tour guide you get, it will be a fantastic tour. I can only say Gary, you were great, and I'm glad you were our tour guide.
