Planning Your Glasgow Visit
Getting Around
The best way to explore Glasgow is on foot. You'd be hard-pressed to get lost in the grid-like system of its streets, so our advice is to grab a map and set out sightseeing. Traffic and parking can be difficult in the city center, so if you'd prefer to travel at a faster pace, then the bus and subway network is cheap, easy, and reaches all the main sights. You can even grab a bus tour to get your bearings at the start of your trip.
How many days should you stay?
A long weekend in Glasgow would give you enough time to sample the city's highlights. But you're sure to fall in love with the vibrant life of its streets, so if you've got the time, why not have a longer stay? There's fabulous shopping, plenty of culture, and a beautiful coastline a short drive away.

What people are saying about Glasgow
Glencoe was breathtaking Guide Charlie was excellent!
Amazing views of Glencoe even from the coach windows (big wide glass), just loved. Charlie was an experienced great guide, good voice with clear tone of voice, explains very well about history and geography of the area and at times very funny. I’ll take Charlie’s tour again, exactly the same (minus the food at the lunch break, it was poor and over priced) Thank you very much for the wonderful experience, Charlie!
Pleasant and worthwhile experience for whisky lovers.
Booking process was simplistic even when I had to re-schedule. On the day our guide Sam was very knowledgable and professional contributing to a very pleasant experience. I would highly recommend this whisky tasting experience.
Beautiful country; happy small group; great driver-guide. cozy B &B.
Mother Nature was kind to us, especially while on Iona. A simply glorious, sunny day! Wonderful for beachcombing and walking. Glencoe was dreich (!) and eerie, but awesome nevertheless. I will be back...
A must! Even if you’re not a Celtic fan.
Such an interesting tour even if you’re not a Celtic fan. Brian our guide was brilliant. Welcoming Funny, knowledgeable & nothing was too much trouble for him. A must if you are visiting Glasgow.
Tour exceptional largely because Erin our guide was brilliant.
The tour was thoroughly absorbing and made entertaining and informative by Erin's charm, humour and remarkable knowledge. She can sing as well!
