We frequently organise private tours from Greenock Cruise terminal. Our bespoke shore excursions from Greenock are tailored to your interests and typically cover more attractions than organised group tours.
The Port Of Greenock is situated on the Firth of Clyde around 20 miles west of Glasgow. Cruise ships dock alongside meaning disembarkation is easy and your guide will be waiting on the quayside. Typically a day tour from Greenock starts at 9am and finishes at 5pm, however that is influenced by the arrival and departure time of your ship and we can be as flexible as you need us to be on the day.
From Greenock it is possible to explore Glasgow, Loch Lomond, the western Highlands and Edinburgh in a day trip. Each shore tour is unique so please let us know your dates and what you would like to see on your visit to Scotland.
