Reiseverlauf
Zuerst zeigen wir Ihnen die Kelpies: die größten Pferdestatuen der Welt.
Anschließend besuchen wir das Falkirk Wheel – den ersten und einzigen rotierenden Schiffslift der Welt. Dieses berühmte schottische Wahrzeichen und Meisterwerk der Ingenieurskunst ist 35 Meter hoch und befördert Boote zwischen den beiden Kanälen.
Anschließend fahren wir weiter nach Glasgow und halten zunächst an der Glasgow Cathedral. Die im 12. Jahrhundert erbaute Glasgow Cathedral überstand die protestantische Reformation nahezu unbeschadet und ist heute die am besten erhaltene mittelalterliche Kathedrale auf dem schottischen Festland.
Neben der Glasgow Cathedral können Sie auf Wunsch die Nekropole erkunden. Die 1831 im Stil der Neoklassizistischen Architektur und nach dem Vorbild des Pariser Père-Lachaise errichtete Nekropole umfasst rund 3.500 Gräber. Eintritt inbegriffen.
Hier haben Sie auch die Möglichkeit, Provand's Lordship zu besichtigen. Es wurde 1471 erbaut und ist das älteste Haus in Glasgow.
Neben Provand's Lordship können Sie, wenn Sie möchten, das St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art besuchen. Eintritt inbegriffen.
Wir verlassen den Dombezirk und zeigen Ihnen den Doulton-Brunnen, der für die Weltausstellung 1888 in Glasgow errichtet wurde. Dies ist der größte Terrakotta-Brunnen der Welt.
Anschließend fahren wir zum West End und sehen einige der unglaublichen Glasgow Murals. Im West End angekommen, zeigen wir Ihnen das Hauptgebäude der Universität Glasgow: das Gilbert Scott-Gebäude. Nach dem Westminster Palace ist dies das zweitgrößte neugotische Gebäude in Großbritannien.
Anschließend bringen wir Sie zur Kelvingrove Art Gallery, die 1901 im spanischen Barockstil erbaut wurde. Hier können Sie eine Reihe von Sammlungen sowie ein restauriertes Spirtfire-Flugzeug aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg sehen.
Schließlich beenden wir unsere Tour, wenn es die Zeit erlaubt, mit einem Besuch des Auszeichnung Verkehrsmuseums, bevor wir Sie zurück zu Ihrem Kreuzfahrtschiff oder einer anderen Ferienunterkunft bringen.

Darryl is knowledgeable and friendly. He perfectly planned a trip that captured our interests and took into account everyone’s needs. We left having experienced the best of Glasgow for us.
Great to hear your shore excursion from Greenock was a wonderful experience, many thanks for your kind words.
Had a wonderful day with Shac as our tour guide. He was great to communicate with before our excursion and did a fantastic job making sure we saw what we wanted to do while getting us back in time as well. I would highly recommend this tour and having Shac as your guide.
Thanks so much Michael! Appreciate the recommendation and 5 stars. Shak will be pleased :)
We had a great half day tour with Chrissie! We visited Loch Lomond, the Highland Coos, Dione castle and the Kelpies! Chrissie tailored the tour to meet our interests and she had a ton of knowledge to share about Scotland. Highly recommend this tour company- book direct!
Aw thank you so much Connie! Was wonderful to meet you both. Very grateful for the recommendation :) hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip and best of luck with the trip to Africa! Take care
Our tour guide Gerry took us on a full day tour from the cruise port to Loch Lomond, the town of Luss, Inveraray, the Coos and the Kelpies. Gerry’s knowledge and stories of the area made for a wonderful full day tour we appreciated the time that he took with us to show us the larger sites as well as the smaller sites along the way. We took this tour as part of a cruise stop. And Gerry was very conscious of the time that we needed to be back to the ship. By the end of the tour we felt like Gerry was part of the family and Scotland was a little bit like home.
So lovely to read that Scotland is a bit like home for you, Gina. Hoping it continues throughout your cruise to Kirkwall & Edinburgh. Glad you had a great time with Gerry and thank you so much for your glowing review!
Jimmy our guide was second to none he customized his tour to what we wanted to see and took great care to accommodate our group accessibility needs. He is also funny as can be. We had a great day exploring the Falkirk and Glasgow area with Jimmy. Highly recommend this tour and suggest you request Jimmy.
Jimmy is not only a great guide, but also a unique character! We are glad you had a completely enjoyable time with him.
Darryl is an excellent guide! This tour was the highlight of our trip so far. Darryl was very accommodating to our requested stops and even a couple of curve balls we threw him along the way. He was very conscious about what we wanted to see and do and was very informative of the area and its history. He was patient, considerate, and caring. Do not hesitate to book a trip with Darryl. You will be thrilled you did!
Thank you for your review. Our guides' main focus is always ensuring our clients have an exceptional day, and we're pleased Darryl went the extra mile for you on the day!
Omar Razza Was our driver for the day. He was kind polite and a sensational driver. He provided information on the various sites we visited during our all day tour, and most importantly knew the best route for timing for arrival at our different stops. He expertly guided us through the city of Costco and was exceptionally considerate to our needs an amount of time at each job. We would highly recommend him.!
Many thanks for your feedback and review of our Glasgow. Kelpies and Falkirk wheel tour. Omar always put 100% into his tours and it shows in his great reviews
Wonderful day with Karen! Very professional tour company. We saw multiple highlights in Glasgow AND the Kelpies & Falkirk Wheel in just one day! We never felt rushed and we returned to our ship in ample time before all aboard time!
Thank you for your review of Karen and our tour. We are glad you had a great time, and hope you enjoy the rest of your cruise trip.
Our driver, Simon, was personable, flexible, courteous. He made our day a memorable one because he was willing to personalize our itinerary to help us see some places and things that were of special interest to us. Once he got the sense of the kind of interests we had, he made some excellent suggestions to round out our experience. Our side trip to the little town of Luss proved to be one of the highlights of our day. Simon was also attentive to our needs by providing water, a step stool to get in and out of his van, and his suggestion for lunch in the town of Callander. Lastly, our last experience was with the Falkirk Wheel. Simon took time to explain how it worked and waited patiently while we watched the wheel operate. All in all, we had a great day getting out into the countryside outside of Glasgow. I highly recommend his services as both a good driver and guide.
What a lovely review and praise for Simon, happy to hear it was a great day out for all. 💗
We had an amazing private tour of the Scottish Highlands area with Gerry. The tour had a standard itinerary but Gerry let us customize it to see and do a few things we specifically requested. Gerry is very knowledgeable about this area and provided us with a lot of very interesting historical facts along our tour. He went above and beyond what we expected to make sure we enjoyed our day with him! Gerry was very professional and very easy to work with. Our communications with E2G and Gerry were very clear and timely! We couldn't have asked for a better tour than we had with Gerry/E2G and would not hesitate to book another tour with them if we return to the area!
We really appreciate your wonderful review and your nice praise for Gerry. Having a flexible guide on the day makes our tours that bit more special, many thanks.
