Wonderful Glasgow walking tour with a wonderful guide - Elaine took us on a 3 hour private walking tour of Glasgow. Her knowledge of the city and Scotland made the tour interesting and fun. Her love for Scotland came through and made the tour even more special. I highly recommend Elaine and the walking tour.

Great day trip from... - Great day trip from Edinburgh. Scott met us at the rail station and led us through the city in an informative and relaxed tour. He was great at showing us historical and cultural ( murals were beautiful ) points of interest. He also shared spots to get a great meal, which we did take his advice for a delicious lunch at an Italian restaurant.

Elaine Macleod best tour guide! - Elaine Macleod was fantastic! So knowledgeable and friendly. She managed to squeeze everything in, even after our flight delayed us. My family and I had the best time. I cannot recommend her enough.

Must in Glasgow - Zahanna our guide was great, she took us around the city and even recommended a couple of restaurants which were amazing. If we didn’t do the tour we would have missed a lot of things.

Private city tour - We booked the 3 hour private walking tour of Glasgow for Saturday but our flight was cancelled and they were easily able to change the booking to Sunday. Liberty is wonderful and full of knowledge. She had a speaker and was able to slow down so my father (78) could hear and enjoy the tour. We stopped for a cafe and were able to enjoy the cathedral. I highly recommend this tour, adjustable for all ages and you get the one on one special treatment.if you have the choice it is better to book during the week versus the weekend because many of the buildings are closed on Saturday and Sunday.

Tour de force - Liberty our guide was wonderfully informed and painted a wonderful historical picture of Glasgow. We came away just loving this quirky, gritty and fun city that, despite it's historical importance, never takes itself too seriously.

Good experience. Close to the train station from Ediy - Wonderful overview of the history of Glasgow. I would recommend this tour. We took a train from Edinburgh for a day trip. It’s a great way to see Glasgow

One of our best tours - Osh was a terrific guide..he provided a memorable experience! He not only educated us on the history and notable events of/in Glasgow, but also gave us a great overview of Scottish history. His strong and varied educational background was an added bonus as we were able to discuss a variety of topics with him.
We highly recommend Osh as a superlative guide.
