Midtown Glascow tour - Tour with Marty was very interesting and well thought out. Enjoyed his delivery and personality. Gave a primarily historical view of Glascow with tidbits of modern life. Would have enjoyed a bit more present day information to really appreciate the local culture.

Excellent tour - I loved how passionate Martin was about the city of Glasgow and its history. But he also told stories about the city in ways that made sense — it was easy to follow his narrative. I really appreciate how he told the story of slaveholding that underpinned the wealth of Glasgow’s titans. Martin had excellent voice projection — his actor training showed. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and learned a lot about aspects of Glasgow that interest me.

A must do in Glasgow - Great tour of area, Gordon was funny and gave you a taste of Glasgow. The stories were entertaining and gave us some insight on the city. I think if you don't take a tour like this you miss out on a lot of details. For one, the measuring system they started using in 1882 for trade and how the use of coal affected the buildings. Gordon even recommended some good places to eat. I walked away loving the tour. AND finally got a good explanation for the cones they put on statues. You'll have to take the tour to find out.

Actor led intro to Glasgow - The guide was interactive and balanced in his intro to Glasgow, nice combo of touristic stuff and realities of Scotland’s deprivation. I went with Marty. Good length and not too much walking Note though that the description of the tour being max 12 people here is misleading. We had about 25, but it worked out fine as the guide had a great voice.
