Shore Excursion i Glasgow (Greenock): Stirling, Loch Lomond & The Highlands

Jerry and Mark were great! Fun time a Sterling Castle, Highlands and Loch Lamond. Would highly recommend this excursion.

Driver cum guide and tour was nice n informative but could be better if there was an additional guide as well. As there were 2 buses at pickup for same excursion there was confusion n miscommunication between the drivers causing our wheelchair to be left behind at the pickup. Luckily it was still there when we returned to the pickup point outside cruise port gate! Driver did get us a wheelchair at Stirling Castle but we didn't have one at the other stops. Would have been better had we have our wheelchair with us. Otherwise driver was very helpful n provided good information/ history of places covered on excursion .

The driver was great. The people on the bus were impatient. No bathroom on the bus. When we went to scan our tickets to enter Stirling the ticket was turned away and there was a confrontation with Timberbush and the ticket attendant.

Interesting stops - the highland cows was the best although a shortened stop due to being stuck in traffic on our way out. It was a rainy day so that wasn’t any fault of the tour operator. The first part of the trip (sitting in the back of the bus) we couldn’t hear the operator also driver. We had him turn up the mic and realized all we were missing were the bad jokes he was telling. It would have been nice to hear more about the area rather than him practicing his jokes. Andrew was our tour operator. I don’t recommend him.

Be on time so u get time to see everything. Loved visiting Stirling Castle! Such a beautiful place with amazing views and so much history. Definitely worth seeing!

I think if we had a better travel guide, we would’ve enjoyed the ride to and from much better. Make sure you have a rain jacket or an umbrella. The weather said it would not be raining in the afternoon and it was.

Andrew was a great guide, but it was not the tour I expected. They got us to the castle but with traffic we were 30+ minutes late and the place was packed. We only had a little more than an hour there and not time to do a tour so we were left to self guide. The signs were pretty basic and I just don’t feel I got a whole lot out of it. We went to a different town than advertised so all my research for that went out the window; and with all the buses a hour was just enough time for lunch - no shopping. And with the delay it was 2 pm before we were eating. The highland cows numbered 3 that a farmer brings down to a gift shop, that disappointingly is selling Scottish cashmere made in Madagascar or Malaysia. That left us with 15 minutes for the loch - were you view it from basically a shopping mall. While the roadside scenery was picturesque, this was not the highlands experience I had hoped for.

We enjoyed this excursion on 8/20/2026. We boarded conveniently at our cruise terminal. The bus was clean and very comfortable. Our tour guide, Gerry, was great! Very amusing as well as educational. He shared all sorts of interesting information and history along the way. We had sufficient time at each stop and thoroughly enjoyed the sights in this beautiful country.

Great tour. Loved our guide Gerry. Very knowledgeable and funny and catered to us. Thank you!

Wow! Our guide/driver was a darling girl named Ailsa. She was very well informed about the history of this area. She loves Glasgow and it shows. We couldn’t believe she was going to be both guide and driver. The tour was exactly as described with plenty of time at each stop. Would definitely recommend this tour.
