Wasn’t advised that the international cycling championships were on in Glasgow and most streets in the city centre were either closed or blocked Ruth spectators. I couldn’t get to the meeting place due to the crowds and it was not until I finally got back to my hotel that I received a message to advise the tour was cancelled. I would have thought all city walk tours round have been cancelled this week. I have even offered a refund.

My husband and I took part in the tour on Friday 11/10. Our tour guide was Louise who was very knowledgable and entertaining. The great thing was that we saw parts of the city we would probably never have visited. Louise has lots of great stories about the city and its people throughout the years. I would recommend this tour, it lasted just over 2 1/2 hours and was excellent value for money.

Fabulous tour of centre, Merchant City and medieval part of Glasgow by the knowledgeable, fun and funny Glasweigan Louise. Fascinating to hear about the history of the city from medieval times until know and discover the modern street art and giant murals, finding out aboyt their origins too. Would thoroughly recommend this tour, puts modern day Glasgow into context and you get to see parts of the city you might otherwise miss.

We did the tour last Monday and were visiting from Ireland. The tour was truly exceptional and professional. Our guide, Katie, was warm, enthusiastic and went out of her way to engage with everyone who was taking part in the tour. It was so lovely to see someone show such pride in their city and sell the place so well to tourists. She gave us great recommendations for places to go, as well as pubs and restaurants, that you just wouldn’t get by searching online. We did the tour on our first day and I would highly recommend this to everyone – it really set us up nicely for the rest of our holiday. The tour itself is excellently paced and planned out – there seemed to be something to spot and discuss every five minutes or so, and our guide was able to answer any questions and discuss at great depth things about Glasgow which would’ve otherwise fallen under the radar. There seems to be a focus on so many diverse aspects of the city as well, including religion, music, education, sport, history etc. There was something for everyone to relate to. The murals were a delight to look at and only added to the already excellent experience. Having done the open top bus tour, I feel that the walking tour was far more comprehensive and allowed participants to really get a sense of Glasgow’s history, and most importantly, its people. I got a real sense of the city from it and it left me dying to come back to the city! I would enthusiastically recommend this tour to anyone visiting Glasgow and suggest that it would be the first thing you do in the city. It’s worthy of six stars and I’m looking forward to doing it again!
