Itinerary
- Make your own way to your hotel in central Glasgow, a cultural hub and port city on the Clyde River. Check-in is from 3pm, and you’ll have the rest of the day to settle in and explore the area.
- This morning, have breakfast and meet your tour manager and set off on an orientation tour of the city. From the centre, you’ll be led around and have a chance to take in the striking mix of Victorian and Art Nouveau architecture and an assortment of landmarks. Glasgow is home to one of the oldest universities in the world, founded in 1451, as well as several world-class galleries and museums, like the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, and the Riverside Museum. The 12th-century medieval cathedral is a must-see, fringed by a Victorian cemetery overlooking the city. The Botanic Gardens are another point of interest, as is Kibble Palace, one of the UK’s largest glasshouses. Later in the day, you can head to the lively ‘Style’ Mile’ shopping district, packed with stores, restaurants, and bars. As night falls, the group will be collected and transported to the OVO Hydro Glasgow where the spectacular André Rieu will perform. The ‘Waltz King’ will be accompanied by his Johann Strauss Orchestra, choir, and soloists, as well as several special guests, and the evening promises to be filled with their trademark waltzes, beautiful melodies from opera, musicals, film, and classical music.
- Following breakfast, board the coach for a journey to Callander, a charming small town positioned on the banks of Teith River, beneath rugged peaks and in the heart of the enchanting Trossachs National Park. Known as the ‘Gateway to the Highlands’, Callander is also ringed by Iron Age hill forts and clan burial grounds. You’ll have some time to wander around the tea rooms and souvenir shops before finding somewhere for lunch (payable locally). Later, continue onto Loch Katrine, a picturesque freshwater loch that has served as the main water supply for Glasgow for over 150 years. Its natural beauty has inspired literary figures throughout the years and Queen Victoria famously sailed across it in 1869. You too can experience this by boarding the historic steamship, Sir Water Scott, which dates back to 1899, for a two-hour cruise. On board, there is a licensed bar and tea, coffee, and snacks. Throughout your journey, views of the whole loch can be enjoyed as you listen to the history of the area. Back on land, the tour will return to the hotel for the evening.
- After breakfast, check out and make your own way home, following a getaway packed with natural and musical delights.
