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.

Glasgow is my home town and although I am new to ToursByLocals, I have been delivering tours since 2016 and have over twenty five 5 star reviews on Google, As a child my father would regularly take me on a day trip to the Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond, it didn't matter if it was good weather or bad, it always brings back fantastic memories for me. I can tailor this tour to meet your specific requirements, we can spend as much or as little time at any of the locations, if you prefer castles just let me know. This is by far my most popular tour, the route takes in the following locations:- Luss Village Falls of Falloch water falls Kilchurn Castle St Cronan's Kirk Inveraray Castle / town The Rest and be Thankful Returning to Glasgow around 5. 00pm My Mercedes Benz V Class offers guests an elevated view idea for taking pictures and seeing the beautiful Scottish scenery.
Collection from and agreed city centre location around 09:00hrs. We will make our way to the historical village of Luss, for a short walk around taking in "The Bonnie Banks" of Loch Lomond. Moving on to Scotlands beautiful hidden waterfalls (a great picture opportunity) before heading onto a historical 15th century castle. There should be an opportunity to see some highland cattle in their natural enviroment. Time permitting, we will visit a historical church, and maybe to stop for some lunch before heading to Inveraray. Inveraray is full of history, it's castle has been the seat of the Dukes of Argyll, chiefs of Clan Campbell, since the 18th century and he and his family still live there to this day. Opportunity to tour the castle (restricted opening days). There is some excellent shopping in Inveraray or alternatively we can have a coffee and enjoy some home baking from the local cafes. Sit back and enjoy the trip back to Glasgow with a short stop at The Rest & Be Thankful and see awesome scenery.
