What people love about Scotland Tours from Glasgow
- Discover Scotland featuring the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo (Glasgow to Edinburgh) (2025)
Fabulous itinerary, something for everyone, our tour guide Michelle, was outstanding in all aspects,,,, were very lucky to have her as our guide. Our coach driver, Willie Fegan was funny, courteous, knew the roads and was always on time every time.
- Taste of Scotland - 5 Days/4 Nights
Overall it was a lovely experience. Our guide Becky and driver Paul were both excellent and had a load of interesting historical facts at their finger tips. The hotels used were excellent in a lot of ways but there were some drawbacks. The group we were in and including ourselves were quite elderly and most of us found it very hard to use the bath in the bathroom because it was too high to get in and out. Another thing we were disappointed with was the fact that we were the only travelers outside the USA and were the only couple who did not receive the promised travel pack which included the important CIE luggage tags. Apart from that we really enjoyed Scotland especially the Military Tattoo which is an experience thaT shouldn’t be missed.
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.
