Book this tour! Darren is the best!

Published on Oct, 2024

My family and I (6 adults) had a fantastic day with our wonderful guide/driver, Darren. Upon meeting us at our hotel, Darren learned that we were really only going to Glasgow because we felt we should and we had other things we were hoping to see but we couldn’t find a tour that met our needs. Darren then made some suggestions for the day and we were so glad he did! We ended up going to all the places we hoped to visit and then some. Darren was a delight to spend the day with, such a warm and funny man! He kept his car stocked with water and Scottish treats for us. Following the tour, he sent over some recommendations for places to visit in Edinburgh as well as some restaurants and pubs. I would highly recommend this tour!
