This was a very enjoyable walk with our guide Morag. Morag was knowledgeable and she engaged the small group throughout. We thoroughly recommend this tour.
Fantastic and informative time with Suzi!! Easy walking
This tour was perfect to get to see the sights of Glasgow and learn about its history. Our tour guide David was so incredibly knowledgeable about all of the city’s history and answered all of our questions. Would highly recommend.
We had a wonderful guided tour through the streets of central Glasgow. Our guide, Grace, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. In addition to guiding the tour she also provided helpful personal recommendations. The tour is highly recommended as an introduction to Glasgow's history, sites and culture.
The rain was simply constant and quite heavy and yet Angus made our walking tour interesting and very worthwhile. Provided great historical context and was able to answer the range of questions thrown at him by the group. Really good guide!
Grace really did well for us and made the experience enjoyable and informative. Especially like the street art which we saw along with the many interesting historical buildings
Super fun and lots of cool history! I would definitely do this again! The tour guide was amazing as well!
Great trip, knowledgeable guide. Nice size of group.
Appreciated the walk and talk. Suggest changing the location pin. I was Iin the wrong group for 10 min! Street noise made it difficult to hear everything.
Louise was an amazing guide. She told us a lot about the history of Glasgow & stopped at some amazing things to see. As we were a small group we even got to go inside places we wouldn’t normally have seen which was a bonus.
