Itinerary

You leave Glasgow and start your journey by visiting Glengoyne, a distillery boasting a lovely location and a unique way of distilling whisky.

Operating since 1833, they've had enough time to perfect their methods. On your tour, you get introduced to the simple but magical process of turning barley, water, and yeast into whisky. And you discover that every stage of the production here is unhurried and that sweet and fruity whisky created by Glengoyne's passionate team is a true feast for the senses.

From here, you enjoy a drive through the countryside to the village of Balloch, for a tasty pub lunch. This charming place is the gateway to Loch Lomond, so we recommend you clear your head on a walk to the shores of this bonnie loch before you head towards the second distillery of the day.

Next, it's a visit to the state-of-the-art Clydeside distillery in Glasgow. Located in the famous Queen's Dock, this exciting venue revives the tradition of whisky-making that was once a core industry in the city. You can visit their production site, see how the old blends with the new, and savour the light and delicate Lowland-style Single Malt Whisky.

After a relaxed afternoon visit here you return to Buchanan Bus Station with the stories and flavours of single malt whisky fresh in your mind.

    • FAQs:
      Do you offer hotel pickups in the departure cities?
      - The UK and Ireland's historic city centres are full of narrow streets and winding roads. So, to speed up your departure, we only pick up from our central meeting points. What's more is leaving the city using the most direct route also reduces the carbon footprint of our tours.
      Is there parking close to the departure point?
      - We don't recommend bringing your car into the centre of our departure cities. It can be hard to find parking, and there are excellent public transportation services.
      When should I get to the departure point?
      - Arrive 15 minutes before your departure time. Due to waiting restrictions, we can't wait for you if you're late.
      What happens if I'm late or miss the tour?
      - If you're late for your tour, our cancellation policy applies. 100% charges are applicable, and you will not be entitled to a refund or alternative.
      Can Itineraries change?
      - Your tour will always follow the itinerary as closely as possible. Your driver-guide will keep you up to date on the road, and we'll try to get in touch about any large changes prior to your departure.
      Can I pre-book a specific seat?
      - Due to logistical reasons, we're unable to let you pre-book a seat on the bus. But our comfortable 16-seat mini-coaches have huge windows. So, you'll always get a good view.
      Are there toilets on the bus?
      - Unfortunately, we have no on-board toilet facilities, but you'll have regular comfort breaks.
      How do you cater for people with accessibility needs?
      - We aim to accommodate everyone.
      How much time do I get off the bus?
      - We want you to enjoy Britain and Ireland. And we believe the best way to do this is to get you off the mini-coach and out exploring. So, we give you plenty of time to take photos, go walking, and explore ancient ruins.
      Why do you exclude visitor attractions?
      - We exclude visitor attractions in your tour price because it lets you travel your way. It means you can pamper yourself with a luxury lunch or skip an attraction whenever you feel like it.
      Do we need to bring our own lunch?
      - You don't need to. We stop in small towns, villages, and rural eateries where you can choose whatever meal pleases both your taste buds and your budget.
      Should I tip the driver-guide?
      - Let's be honest, our driver-guides would never refuse a cheeky bonus. But it's up to you, and the amount is entirely at your discretion.
      What about travel insurance?
      - We advise you take out travel insurance.
      What is ABTOT?
      - You're protected by ABTOT when you chose to let us reserve your accommodation on a multi-day tour. This means you can claim back anything you've paid us if we become bankrupt.
