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.

    David is quite personable, flexible and kind, his highest priority being for his clients to have a memorable trip and see what interests them most. I had two great days with him in Glasgow and I would highly recommend him!

    We had an outstanding day with David and would recommend him without hesitation. From the moment he arrived, it was obvious that he takes great pride in what he does. He looked very professional in his kilt and traditional accessories, had snacks and water waiting for us in the vehicle, and immediately made everyone feel welcome. David was engaging, personable, and...

    WOW!! If I could give more stars I would. David was a fantastic guide. He came in his kilt which we got a great kick out of. He tailored the tour to what we felt was important while adding some things we may not have thought about. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking to tour Glasgow and the surrounding area. David also took pictures for us and sent a...

    Good morning Kim, I am delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour. Personally I think it's far better for my guests when guys like you and your family are eager to enjoy a flexible itinerary, not stopping at attractions for a fixed period of time etc. Once you have seen what you want let's move on and you guy's definitely embraced this approach. Best regards David
