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.

Overview of your Glasgow tour

Glasgow is my home town and the home of some of Scotland's best cultural attractions and best of all, many of them are free to enter! As a child my father would regularly take me around the most famous sights in Glasgow, it didn't matter if it was good weather or bad, we just spent more time inside some of the fantastic building if the weather was poor. Alternatively if the weather was good, I got the opportunity to appreciate the amazing outdoor attractions. We can tailor this tour to meet your specific requirements, either quick sightseeing tour encompassing most of Glasgow's major attractions or alternatively we can select a few stops relative to your particular interests before heading to Loch Lomond and spending some time on the "bonnie banks" taking in the historic village of Luss. My Mercedes Benz V Class offers guests an elevated view idea for taking pictures and seeing the beautiful Scottish scenery.

Depending on the weather we can either head for Loch Lomond or start the tour in Glasgow taking in a variety of tourists attractions the famous Finnieston Crane and the 2021 COP26 venue.
