Guide #54986
My name is David, I have been providing clients with private tours of Scotland since early 2016. I am hugely passionate about Scotland and was born in a small town called Hamilton, just east of Glasgow although I have stayed in Paisley (Scotland's largest town) since 1992. I am extremely fortunate that in 2016 I was able to change my career and become a driver / guide, my dream job. I drive a very comfortable Mercedes Benz People Carrier which can easily seat up to six guests. My vehicle is equipped with free Wi-Fi, a small refrigerator and a good selection of complementary soft drinks and snacks. I appreciate my clients might only have a short time to spend in Scotland and I will do my utmost to ensure I meet their requirements; I am totally flexible in my approach and happy to make last minute changes to the itinerary if for example the weather was unkind on the day of the tour. I offer Day Trips from Glasgow and Greenock Cruise Terminal, to Loch Lomond, Inveraray, Oban (Scotland's seafood capital) Glencoe, Stirling, The Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel. However, do feel free to get in touch if you have a specific requirement to visit a particular place and I will do my very best to accommodate you. Every tour I offer can be amended to meet my client's specific requirements. It's extremely important to me that I don't just provide "standard" tours, I like to engage with my customers and plan every tour around their specific needs and requirements. I have full Public Liability insurance and Chauffeur Insurance (mandatory in the UK) On request I can provide child car seats and also a portable step to assist any clients with mobility issues. Covid-19 Vaccinations - I am fully vaccinated as per the Scottish Government guidance. The rates quoted for all my tours exclude any entry fees that you may incur during the tour. We provide free refreshments but meals are excluded from the published rates.

An absolutely wonderful day. David went above and beyond to make our experience truly special. I would highly recommend David as a guide to anyone visiting the Glasgow area. He was amazing!!!
My sister and I hired David to take us to the two towns our ancestors were from way out in the countryside of Scotland. He did a bit of research for us on each town before we left our hotel and then expertly drove us the 2 hours to Whitsome where we walked thru the small town, visited the post office and strolled thru the old cemetery. From there he took us another two...
We used David Ross for 3 days as our driver and tour guide. He was wonderful. Please see my other reviews. On our 3rd day we adjusted our tour from ancestry tour to seeing the highlands. What a wonderful day. David took us on a beautiful drive with memorable stops. You will be very happy, if you choose David Ross for either a standard or personalized tour.

Thanks Barbara for three very positive reviews, I enjoyed my day taking you and Gary to Loch Lomond and onto Inverarey for lunch and the ferry ride across the river Clyde back to Glasgow is always a great way to end the day. Best regards David.
