Fun and informative tour of the spooky highlights and history of Glasgow - This was a fun and informative tour of the spooky highlights and history of Glasgow. It started at the spectacular Cathedral and Necropolis with the very spooky Royal Infirmary backdrop and continued along and through the city and its darker locations like the former gallows. Our guide, Gabriel, was incredibly knowledgeable about everything we asked of him whether part of the itinerary or beyond it. He even stayed with us while we awaited a taxi (which he called for us).

Dark side of the city tour - We did the dark side of Glasgow tour with our guide Lauren. It was a fantastic tour with lots of interesting facts about Glasgow that I never knew. I can’t wait to book another one in the daytime.

Highly Recommend This Tour! - We went on a Halloween weekend Dark Side walking tour with Dave, and it was everything I hoped it would be and more. Despite living in Glasgow, I learned loads of new information, was thoroughly entertained and the pace/level of walking was perfect. Dave was really funny, attentive, thorough and friendly. Felt it was great value for money, too. Highly recommend.

Give in to the Dark Side - The tour was great. Louise was very knowledgeable. She knew where all the bodies were buried and all the stories to go along with them. Highly recommend.
