Shore Excursions – Why Discover Scotland Tours?

In: Blog

Picture the scene. You sail serenely up the Firth of Clyde on your luxury cruise ship, enjoy a hearty breakfast on board. Then you prepare for the day ahead aboard one of the many shore excursions on offer.

The last thing you want to do is come back to reality with a bump. That’s why you should choose Discover Scotland Tours.

First up, our Mercedes mini coaches are of a very high standard. Each seat benefits from full air-conditioning and panoramic windows. They also have a USB port so you can keep your phone and camera charged. Your kilted driver-guide will be waiting to greet you as you disembark your cruise ship. Leading to a seamless transition from ship to shore. Our small group tours are also much more intimate affairs. Fewer seats, more space and the opportunity to go where other larger coaches cannot.

Size matters, so they say and in this case it is very true. Our driver-guides know our routes intimately and our smaller, more manoeuvrable coaches are able to get to some of the more spectacular, out of the way places others simply won’t experience. In a country like Scotland, this can be a great advantage.

Our drivers are rigorously trained. While they skilfully wind their way around the beautiful West Highlands of Scotland, you can sit back, relax and take in what this beautiful little country has to offer.

More than anything, it’s our driver-guides passion for Scotland that shines through. Their ability to make our rich history come alive on every excursion is what makes us stand out from the crowd and why many of our guests come back time and time again.

We look forward to welcoming you on board on of our excursions – for more information on how to book a shore excursion with Discover Scotland Tours, click here
