“Jerry was the best guide I’ve ever had. He was very attentive and explained everything to us in detail. I don’t have enough words to thank him for the tour we had an amazing time. Everything was perfect: the timing, the places we visited, and especially Jerry’s great attitude and the way he explained everything so clearly. Thank you so much! I will definitely come back to take another tour here”

“10,000 out of 10! Michelle made this tour just absolutely incredible! She was so knowledgeable and thought of every little detail from a sample nip of Scotch whiskey to the Scottish flag for photos. She gave us picturesque views of places we didn’t expect to see and little cakes we may not have tried otherwise plus so much more. She had plenty of recommendations in the towns and just went above and beyond in every way. She was warm and welcoming, the ride was smooth and fun, the sights were just gorgeous. I cannot recommend this trip and MICHELLE enough! She provided water and little candies for the ride, offered…”

11.Highlights of Scotland Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 178 reviews · 10 hours · from $70

Review of Glasgow’s 10-hour western Highlands tour, with Loch Lomond, Glencoe, Oban, castles, scenic stops, price, and booking advice.

“Excellent tour, knowledgeable guide, visited Inveraray Castle and gardens and there was plenty of time to do this. The time in Oban was enough to explore a bit and have lunch. Regular coffee and loo stops. Lots of scenic countryside, mountains and lakes including Loch Lomond. Good day, giving a good insight to the Scottish Highlands we were out 11 hours in all due to traffic on the way home. The only thing I thought could have been better was if the last place we stopped had had some snacks to purchase, I had a cup of tea at the bar but couldn’t see anything else on offer to eat.…”

“The tour guide was amazing and kept to a tight schedule. The lunch stop spot was nice. The castle was beautiful. But Lach Lamond was a joke. It was just a big tourist propaganda trap in my opinion. Total waste of time.”
