5.00It was worth every cent to go! Our guide/driver John was so awesome and amazing today. Everyone on the tour had a marvelous experience because of him. If I am ever able to come back to Glasgow, I will do another tour with him any time!
Amazing day, beautiful views, the best tourguides

5.00We did a one-day trip to Loch Ness and our guides were Kieren (Kirren? Keiren? We’re not quite sure how to spell his name, but honestly it doesn’t matter because he is the best tour guide ever, no matter how his name is spelled!) and Billy (also the best!). We had a blast this day — it was absolutely fantastic! Kierren and Billy both have so much knowledge and so many great, interesting, and fascinating stories to tell. They were also very enthusiastic about everything they shared and genuinely interested, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Both of them were kind and friendly, and they made us feel like we were in very good hands the entire time, so the whole trip felt relaxed. We also enjoyed all the great music they played on the bus😃 The views over the lochs and the Highlands were beautiful and stunning, something we had never seen before. The surroundings are incredibly beautiful and also very diverse — you see so many different types of nature and landscapes: from huge lochs to wild rivers and small streams, from high mountains with snow and deep valleys, from forests to wide open land. It’s almost impossible to describe — there is just so much beauty to take in and enjoy. We will definitely be coming back, because there is so much more to see and explore. And we will 100% choose Kierren and Billy again as our tour guides, if possible! Isadora and Céline
Excellent tour

5.00Tony was a wonderful tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and kept the tour interesting. He gave us some insight at each stop as well as along the way. He added extra stops to allow us more opportunity to get out of the coach and see more sights. Even though the weather was misty and rainy, the Highlands were beautiful and made this trip worth it. A highlight of our family trip to the UK.
Discover Scotland Tours and the guide Gary is amazing!

5.00This was an amazing tour! Gary, our guide, was so kind and unbelievably knowledgeable about the history of Glasgow, surrounding areas, and Scotland overall! I had so much fun learning about the history and nature of the Scottish highlands. So very worth the $90. Thank you Gary and Discover Scotland Tours for such an amazing experience!

3.00Sir, It is related to a problem we are facing while trying to make payment for a one day tour to Loch Ness, Glencoe & Highlands Small-Group Day Tour from Glasgow on coming April, 2026. Choosing the option Credit/Debit card, after putting my VISA debit card details, a pop up opens stating 'Unable to Process. Please verify and re-enter the credit card details, or use a different credit card. Incidentally I have booked the day before yesterday, another tour in UK from another tour operator and the payment was successful using same debit card. I have been trying since yesterday but failed to make payment and could not book your trip. Please provide us your guidance in this regard to enable me to book the mentioned tour using my VISA debit card at the earliest. Regards Indranil Mukherjee Kolkata India

5.00Colin is an excellent guide driver. Attentive, friendly, told a lot of interesting information. The weather was sunny and slightly frosty, and it was very warm and comfortably in the vehicle.
