What people love about Scotland Tours from Glasgow
Very good organization of tour! But I didn't hsve much time to see the gardens near castles. So you need to know whst you want to see the interior of castles or gardens.
Scottish Dream - 8 Days/7 Nights (9 destinations)
- Scottish Royal
The tour was very enjoyable. Diane was very knowledgeable and at times humorous. Great group of Canadians on the tour, I was the only American. Highly recommend this couch tour.
- Highlights of Scotland
My husband and I just returned from the Highlights of Scotland Tour. We had a great time! We would go back to Scotland again and soon! The country is beautiful, and the people are very friendly. The itinerary was great. Our introduction to Scotland, on this tour, covered a lot of ground. We did a loop around the country and were able to enjoy a lot of different landscapes. We enjoyed the activity level included in the tour as well. Our tour guide, Martin, was excellent. He is a native of Scotland and it was obvious that he loves his country. We would recommend this trip to anyone as long as they are active.
