★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 79 reviews · 7 hours 10 minutes (approx.) · from $90Top rated

Travel from Glasgow by air-conditioned minibus to Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond, Balmaha, and Glengoyne Distillery. Guides such as James, Jim, Calum, and Jenny lead the day with Scottish history, Highland stories, a short lakeside walk, and whisky tasting. The tour runs about seven hours and includes up to 16 people, but admission fees are extra.

“Jim was a fantastic host, answering every question along the way in the extremely clean, comfy, spacious, up to date van. The activity tickets aren't included in the price -- which is stated in the description, but it's good to remember. The van has phone charger ports but they're USB-C, not USB, so bring an adapter or appropriate cord if needed. Felt like we had enough time everywhere but didn't waste time lingering, and every destination was well worth it. Almost worth it for the transport alone after seeing some of the roads and traffic!”

We would highly recommend this for anyone visiting Glasgow as a way to experience the city to learn not only history, but also some drinking culture as well.”
