Really Know Glasgow! - If you take a private tour like Nick and Zhanna’s, you get such a great feel and local knowledge of Glasgow. It’s a rich city in culture and history. Zhanna has studied history and stories that enriched my feeling of the city. She took extra time…four hours! Time flew by! Great tour even in the rain (with umbrellas)!

If you’re new to Glasgow, book this tour! - I highly recommend this tour operation! If I could give 6 stars I would! They met us at our hotel lobby (a party of 5 - 2 adults and 3 young adults) and they were on time, cheerful, knowledgeable, and had a plan for our time together. They were willing and able to change course (such as stopping for coffee). Zhanna is an absolute gem and has accumulated so much interesting knowledge of the history of Glasgow as well as stories of Scottish history. She satisfied our Art student daughter and the history buffs in our group as well. She is extremely warm, competent, flexible and very knowledgeable about history and Scottish art and architecture. An excellent value and lovely afternoon!

Glasgow Tour(s) - Zhanna was wonderful! We took the Glasgow City Tour and the Culture and Arts tour with her. She was informative, showed us all we wanted to see, and answered all our questions. She even helped us with suggestions on where to eat authentic Scottish food! By the end of the first tour, she felt like a long lost friend. We chatted not only about Scotland and it’s wonders, but about each other’s lives. I would highly recommend picking Zhanna and Glasgow Private Tours for an intimate and informative view of the city!

A veritable artistic treat - What a place and what exhibits, simply marvellous and any trip to Glasgow must include two or three hours in here AND ITS FREE OF CHARGE. We would say that any trip to The UK MUST include Scotland and any trip to that wonderful country MUST include Glasgow. So much to see and do. Great, great, great. We will be back.

A good place to visit - Always very interesting place to visit, some days you walk around and think you have seen it all but no go another day and see what you missed.

Wonderful walking tour of the West End - Haley, our guide, took us through the University of Glasgow, the botanic garden and the Kelvingrove museum. The Hunterian museum and art gallery was unfortunately mostly closed for renovation, but the Kelvingrove museum was excellent; we had a nice lunch there, too.
