A warm welcome awaits when you join the award-winning Discover Scotland Tours for one of our shore excursions from the Ocean Terminal Greenock (Glasgow).
Your kilted driver-tour guide will be waiting to greet you on disembarking your cruise ship. Our small group shore excursions have a maximum of 16 persons on each coach. This is by far more personal than by travelling in a large group.
As a result, we can get off the beaten track and take you to places where larger coaches cannot. With a choice of 3 shore excursions we’re sure you’ll find an itinerary that will make your tour from Greenock a memorable one.
On our ever popular Loch Lomond, Stirling Castle & Trossachs shore excursion you’ll be able to visit Stirling Castle, its location even rivals Edinburgh Castle for sheer magnificence.
