We were taken on a 2 hour walking tour round the Merchant City of Glasgow by the very knowledgeable and friendly Su. My husband and I enjoyed it greatly. We've lived in Glasgow for a while but found out many new things about the growth of the city, were introduced to wee nooks and lanes we hadn't seen before, saw features and buildings we hadn't noticed before. Would definitely recommend.
