Great walking tour - We love a guided walking tour when visiting a new city and this one didn't disappoint. Dave was a great guide providing us with lots of interesting facts and information, all with a touch of humour. Not a street art tour as such but it incorporated some of the amazing murals in the city so we got the best of both worlds. I highly recommend booking this tour if you want a snapshot of the Glasgow highlights.

Great walking tour of Glasgow! A must do! - We had the best time today on our tour of Glasgow with Callum! He is so kind, knowledgeable and fun! We learned about Glaswegian history and got to explore parts of Glasgow we wouldn’t have otherwise. I’m so glad we booked this tour! Don’t miss out on this - Glasgow is really a hidden gem. Thanks again, Callum!

Great walking tour - We had a great tour this morning with Callum. He was warm and friendly, just like the city of Glasgow, and we had a great introduction to lots of relevant history and architecture. Callum was very personable, was very happy to answer all of our questions and give recommendations. Highly recommended!

A great fun, introduction to the city. - Really enjoyed our tour with Vas. It was only us so effectively a private tour. So much interesting information but delivered in a really easy, fun style. We also chatted with Vas all the way round about the city, history and architecture. A great introduction to the city.

Super tour with Stevie - Excellent tour that took in all the main sites we wanted to see as well as showing us some hidden gems. If people make Glasgow, then Stevie makes this tour - he’s a born storyteller who made everyone feel welcome. Highly recommended.

Glasgow City Centre Dagelijkse wandeltocht - Deeply interesting tour through a stunning city. Stephen, our guide, was thoroughly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the history and culture of the places we visited. Stephen really gave us a sense of not only the spirit of the city, but of its people too. My mother and I enjoyed every minute and would recommend this tour to anyone. Thank you, Stephen!
