Top 2 Self-Guided Tours in Scotland

1.Cycle To Loch Ness – Self Guided

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 119 reviews · 1 day (approx.) · from $76Our pick

Pick up a well-serviced bike at Ticket To Ride in Bellfield Park, then follow local paths and National Cycle Network Route 78 to Dores on Loch Ness. You get a helmet, water bottle, map, and route advice, but no guide. Plan for hills, changing weather, and a ride of roughly one day at your own pace.

“Our bike hire from Ticket to Ride made for an amazing day. With helpful maps from the shop we were quickly on our way. The roads in Inverness were nice with many dedicated and protected bike paths. Drivers were courteous, giving us space when we needed it. The weather was beautiful and the Loch Ness is an amazing lake. No monster sightings ;)”

2.Glasgow Ghost Hunt: The Soul That Got Away Exploration Game

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 71 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $6Best value

This self-guided Glasgow exploration game leads you from Glasgow Central through the Lighthouse, Merchant City, Buchanan Street, City Chambers, and George Square. Use the Questo app to follow directions, solve location-based clues, and uncover spooky stories at your own pace. It lasts about 90 minutes, costs $6 per person, and has no physical guide.

“We were one of 3 couples visiting Glasgow for Hogmanay, and to use up some spare time on 1st January we tried this tour, which was very suitable as it was so flexible - we could start when ready and take all the time needed. The ghostly facts were amusing and the clues fun. It was just a pity so many bars were closed (preventing occasional stops!) before heavy rain terminated our game prematurely. The game encouraged us to tour parts of the city we wouldn't have and was very good value.”
