Glasgow Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Lovely tour- informative and so much fun. David was hilarious. I learned a lot and wasn’t bored for a second.

I had a wonderful tour with my guide Katrina! She was on time and immediately made us feel welcome with warm greetings and witty banter. Her knowledge of the city and its history/culture was evident in every stop, giving us trivia, local insights, and bigger picture historical facts. Even with a larger group she made sure we all stayed together, despite the rainy weather. Definitely worth the money, and great for anyone who is exploring Glasgow for the first time. Highly recommend!

Eoin was outstanding! This was my son’s introduction to whiskey and Eoin made our tour so fun and memorable. The whiskeys were delicious and the walk was equally lovely. We got great recommendations from Eoin on a range of whiskeys and where to buy them too. Highly recommend!!!

Our tour guide was Isla. She was very knowledgeable about Glasgow and all the spooky stories it's accumulated over the years.

Easy ride! Felt safe and away from traffic. Very informative! Conor was an excellent guide! He made everything interesting and fun. We went inside several of the buildings and we had time to look around and see more that just what was on the outside. Definitely book this ride!!

Gary was a fantastic guide. Not knowing what to expect, the day proved to be amazing. A lot of walking but well worth it.

Fabulous!! Loved our tour guide (Ross). He was fun, funny and very knowledgable about the food we were sampling as well the history of Glasgow. This tour was the highlight of my visit to Scotland.

Sophie was our guide. She was very professional and knowledgeable. We especially enjoyed hearing about the artists and how they and their work are part of what makes Glasgow unique.

Quite a bit of walking involved, but well worth it! We were shown many murals and our guide was quite knowledgeable about the artists and their art works. I highly recommend this tour which takes you to neighborhoods you wouldn’t otherwise find on your own.

The e bike tour was fabulous. Stuart was so knowledgeable and funny and had great stories! I had never e-biked and he was very patient with me.

This was one of my favorite food tours, Adam was a ln exceptional guide!

Richard was great! The stories were good, but his humour made it better. The group was great and it was a decent amount of time.

Stuart is great fun and an excellent guide. The bikes worked perfectly and biking is an excellent way to see Glasgow. Highly recommended!

AMAZING experience. Stuart was lovely. Excellent way to learn about the city and see all corners and hidden gems. We had a fantastic time and even had wonderful weather. We all different types of people and levels of riders on our trip and everyone was accommodated. 10000% recommend.

It was a great trip. Very modern van, super comfortable. Our guide Keshava kept us incredibly informed about the history of the places we saw and we could connect the stories with the views, which I personally found super interesting! He also entertained the group well,making jokes and playing music, which especially suited the surroundings. We unfortunately didn't get to see the Steam Train over the viaduct,but that wasn't the organizers fault. (After a half an hour delay,no train and lot's of rain,we meet Keshava who told us the train is apparently delayed,but nobody knows for how long..) Anyways. Beautiful views, entertaining guide, comfortable van!!! Thank you!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolutely Incredible Scotland Adventure — Spirit Journeys Worldwide Went Above and Beyond!I don’t usually take the time to write long reviews, but this trip deserves one.My mother-in-law and aunt recently traveled to the UK and Scotland with **Spirit Journeys Worldwide**, and from everything they shared with me, this was so much more than just a vacation. It was an experience they will remember for the rest of their lives.What really made this trip exceptional was Julia and the way she planned and coordinated everything.Planning an international trip—especially one involving multiple cities, hotels, trains, tours, transportation and changing locations—can be overwhelming. Julia took that stress away. She created an itinerary that allowed them to see and experience so much without making the trip feel chaotic or exhausting.And when you're traveling with family members who want to enjoy the experience rather than worry about logistics, that is priceless.❤️ Julia — The Perfect Person Behind the JourneyFrom the planning stages through the actual trip, Julia was incredibly attentive and thoughtful.You could tell that this wasn't simply about booking hotels and checking destinations off an itinerary. She genuinely cared about creating a memorable experience for them.The accommodations were beautiful, the transportation was thoughtfully arranged, and the excursions were carefully selected. There was also enough free time for them to slow down, explore and enjoy each destination instead of feeling like they were constantly running to the next activity.That balance made such a difference.Julia also created an itinerary that felt luxurious without being stuffy and adventurous without being overwhelming.And Then There Was Paul…I have to give a HUGE shout-out to their Scotland tour guide, **Paul**.He was one of the biggest highlights of their trip.Paul wasn't just someone who drove them from one place to another. He brought Scotland to life.The history, stories, scenery, castles and little details along the way became part of the adventure because of his knowledge and personality.Having a private guide who knows the area makes such a difference. Instead of simply looking at a beautiful castle or landscape and taking a picture, they understood the history and stories behind what they were seeing.And according to my mother-in-law and aunt, Paul was also just a genuinely wonderful person to spend time with—which is pretty important when you're traveling together for days!🏰 Scotland Was Everything They Hoped It Would BeThe Scottish portion of the trip was absolutely spectacular.They experienced Edinburgh, the Highlands, Inverness, the Isle of Skye, Oban, Tobermory, Iona, Loch Lomond and more.The scenery was breathtaking, the castles looked like something out of a movie, and the little villages and coastal areas gave them a completely different perspective of Scotland.The Isle of Skye was particularly memorable, and having Paul there to guide them through the Highlands made the experience even more special.✈️ The Logistics Were SeamlessOne of the things I appreciated most about Spirit Journeys Worldwide was that my family didn't have to worry about all the little details.Hotels. Transportation. Train travel. Tours. Guides. Excursions.Getting from one destination to the next.All of those details can become exhausting when you're planning a trip like this yourself. Spirit Journeys Worldwide handled those logistics so my mother-in-law and aunt could simply enjoy the journey.And that's exactly what they did.Would I Recommend Spirit Journeys Worldwide?Absolutely. Without hesitation 1000 times!If you're considering a trip to Scotland—or really any destination where you want a thoughtfully planned, personalized experience—I would highly recommend talking to Julia MacLeay at Spirit Journeys Worldwide.The biggest compliment I can give is this:I wasn't the one taking the trip, but hearing my mother-in-law and aunt talk about it made me feel like I was there with them.They came home with incredible memories, beautiful photographs and stories they will be telling for years.Julia created the journey, and Paul made the Scottish adventure come alive.Thank you, Spirit Journeys Worldwide, Julia and Paul, for giving them such an incredible experience. Scotland will definitely be one of those trips our family talks about for a very long time. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
