You’ll have about 90 minutes at the castle, a lunch stop, and a short visit to Luss. Guides such as Michelle and Wee Davey add history and humor, but admission, meals, and drinks cost extra.

2.GREENOCK (GLASGOW) SHORE EXCURSION: Scotland Adventure Sightseeing Day Trip Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 165 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $109

Spend about eight hours touring Scotland from Greenock with a guide such as Lee, Viola, Sandra, or Joan. Travel by air-conditioned coach to Loch Lomond, Kilchurn Castle, Inveraray, Rest and Be Thankful, and Luss. Expect full narration, short scenic stops, a town lunch break, and a careful return at least one hour before your ship sails.

“It is a long day and would be much better to take in the summer, less chance of rain and fog to hide the beauty of the Highlands. Even though it was a wet day our tour guide was great. She talked about the history of Scotland and had many interesting tidbits about the area we were visiting. She stayed alert to the weather and tried to make the trip as pleasant as possible.”
