Hello friends:
Could anybody tell me good travel agencies in Glasgow (mostly specializing in Iceland)
Thanks.
Santi
Not quite sure why you want an agent........travel agencies in the UK are mostly national chains (there are few independent agencies), mostly dealing with 'package' holidays. If you want to book a package holiday or an organised tour then you will need an agent, but it is just as easy to book your flight and accommodation online yourself.
If you google 'iceland holidays' on www.google.co.uk (the UK google site), clicking on the 'UK pages' button, you'll find a good selection of agents including:
http://www.arctic-experience.co.uk/iceland/
http://www.exodus.co.uk/countries/is.html
etc
http://www.icelandair.co.uk/ fly Glasgow/Rekjavik and offer flight/hotel deals.
Unless you want a totally organised trip you could book flights with Icelandair and find your own accommodation (explore http://www.randburg.com/is/tourism/acco/ or http://www.accommodationiniceland.com/ or http://www.visiticeland.com/displayer.asp?cat_id=200 ). It's likely to be cheaper than using an agent.
Maybe the travel agency offers better prices for accommodation rather than booking on line (just wondering) Thanks! (and well done with the abuse report)
I don't think you'll get a better offer through an agent than online, to be honest. They have to make a profit!
Thanks again!
You could try http://www.barrheadtravel.co.uk/ which is one of the largest independents in the UK and also has a decent presence just at international arrivals in Glasgow Airport
Thanks again.
Look up! The buildings are outstanding. You will constantly be surprised at the architecture. Walking around Buchanan Street, Sauchiehall Street, the Merchant City. Even when it's raining, Glasgow is
full of people, character, noise. It's a walker's paradise. The people are friendly too so it's easy to meet the locals.
Number 1 Tip...If you are in a jam or unsure about anything...don't be afraid to ask for help! Preferably ask a cop.Policemen walk in the City Centre, don't carry guns and they don't Bite!
Tip No.2...Visit Glasgow District Council Web Site at
www.glasgow.gov.uk This will give you a brief history of the City, Maps, What's On and just about everything else that the Visitor might need.
Tip No.3...Buy a Glasgow A to Z. The City covers approx. 80 Sq. miles. Bartholomew also publish a ' Glasgow Streetfinder Colour Atlas ' which I prefer, as it covers the surrounding areas too, in case you want to visit a relative or friend. Both Atlas's cost only about £5 Sterling ($8US) and can save their cost in Fares and sore feet!
Lastly, don't expect to see everyone dressed in Kilts, we wear normal clothes,except for formal occasions...and...Please do not call us 'Scotch.'... Scotch is Whisky...people are Scots.

Loch Lomond & Ben Lomond. Only about 25 miles from Glasgow. There are several ways to get there car, bus and train. These pictures are taken from the less crowded east side which takes a little more planning to get to than the more popular south side. For more info and pics, see my travelogue.
Some of the local lassies call it the Club for Mad People. I used to frequent nightspots along the same road (Hope St) and see bloodshed, broken glass strewn all over the street, and ambulances almost every single night!!! Once I spotted an unconscious girl lying UNDER the ambulance - either there were not enough stretchers or she was hoping to drink straight from the leaking petrol tank! Heard that drinks are dirt cheap and there's good live entertainment. As little as possible to blend in with the patrons. Good to wear safety goggles and a crash helmet too! This has gotta be the most violent spot in Glasgow!
