Private Glasgow day tour to Pollok’s Highland cows, The Kelpies, Stirling, Doune Castle, and Loch Lomond with cruise or Luss.
“The tour was nice the tour operator adjusted the tour itinerary early enough, we did the Wallace monument instead of starling castle and we decided and talk through how we wanted the tour. The only problem was we had two vehicles for our tour one car had 5 and the other car had 4 people. The bigger car's A/C wasn't working properly and it was pretty hot for people in the back and that driver didn't even bring the water which is included in the itinerary! the driver with 4 people was nicer he brought water and the ride was very comfortable.”
