Day 2: Glasgow

Spend the day discovering the vibrant city of Glasgow, packed with attractions & breathtaking sights, with a 24-hour Hop-on Hop-off sightseeing tour. You can hop off and visit the attractions at any of the 20 stops around the city and then hop on the bus again to continue touring at your own pace. From the top deck of the tour bus, you will be amazed by the beautiful landscapes and exceptional architecture that Glasgow has to offer - from famous art galleries & museums to attractive parks and countless shopping opportunities, there is something to suit every taste. The adventure begins at George Square, so hop-on and we'll take you to our first destination, the Glasgow Cathedral, a breath-taking beautiful medieval-style cathedral. If you are in Glasgow on the weekend, be sure to hop off at Bus Stop 4 and visit the Barras Weekend Market full of colourful stalls and vibrant energy! Or if you want to dive into Glasgow's history, hop off at Bus Stop 12 and step inside the Riverside Museum, home to many artefacts and pieces that tell many historic tales. No trip to Glasgow would be complete without seeing Glasgow University and from the open top bus, you'll be able to see the spectacular architecture and university grounds. And if travelling makes you thirsty, why not treat yourself to a traditional afternoon tea? Our bus tour will drop you right outside The Willow Tea Rooms, located in the very heart of the city. Finally, Bus Stop 20 will take you straight to the Theatre Royal, the oldest theatre in Scotland! Remember, museums and galleries in Glasgow are free of charge so you don't want to miss a visit to Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum, the Burrell Collection, St Mungo Museum, People's Palace or the Scotland Street School Museum, among others. Or take a stroll along bustling Sauchiehall Street where you’ll find the largest range of shops in the city, or through the city's West End, a trendy area of cafés, restaurants, high-end shops, posh hotels.

Day 3: Loch Lomond, Stirling Castle & Whisky Distillery

Today discover a bit of Scottish countryside with a full day tour to Loch Lomond & Stirling Castle. Experience the Highlands' natural forests, lochs and mountains in Loch Lomond National Park and feel Scotland's past in the heartland of its great heroes - Rob Roy, Robert the Bruce and William Wallace - with visits to the medieval stronghold of Stirling Castle and sample single malt whisky at the Glengoyne Distillery. You travel first to Stirling Castle where you can visit this imposing stronghold, the favourite residence of the Stuart kings, where Mary Queen of Scots was crowned. You then continue into the beautiful forest-covered mountains of the Trossachs and stop for lunch in heart of the National Park. This area, on the southern edge of the Highlands, was home to Rob Roy Macgregor, the famous Scottish outlaw. From here a short drive takes you to the 'bonny, bonny banks' of Loch Lomond. At Loch Lomond, you can visit the National Park Centre or walk along part of the West Highland Way to a hilltop viewpoint with spectacular views of the loch. Afterwards, visit the malt whisky distillery of Glengoyne for a tour and dram before returning to Glasgow. For a more personal experience, this tour is taken in the comfort of a 16 seat Mercedes mini coach. (B)
