Interesting and Informative - A really informative tour made special by our guide’s (Tommy) very special love and knowledge of Mackintosh. We also went on Tommy’s Street Art tour which was equally special. Both are highly recommended

Nice walking tour to learn of Mackintosh. - I thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour. It was a glorious day and that always helps. Tommy, our guide, did a good job, introducing facts and anecdotes along the way. There were more people than I expected and it was often hard to hear, hence 4 out of five. The last stop at the Willow was the highlight.

Mackintosh tour - I booked a Mackintosh walking tour for a Friday morning, 6 of us. The guide did not show. No communication. I was able to reach the co. by phone and the cheerful person refunded, but I was very disappointed.
