    Excellent and informative walking tour of Glasgow city centre, including the cathedral area and mausoleum. Our guide was lovely, friendly and good humoured with lots of knowledge and quirky facts at her fingertips. Highly recommended.

    Absolutely wonderful mural tour with Liz, she was extremely knowledgeable, funny, courteous and conducted the walk at the perfect pace, never leaving anyone behind and making it an extremely enjoyable experience. We were gobsmacked by the stunningly beautiful murals in Glasgow, and had we had more time in the city, would definitely have gone looking for more. Highly recommended.

    Our original city center tour was canceled due to the guide’s family emergency but they rebooked us on a street art tour. Street art’s not really my thing but our guide Karen was clearly passionate about the subject and knowledgeable about the local scene. She showed us a wonderful variety of art—both commissioned and “illegal”. Gave us a great sense of the city too!

    Friendly guides, fantastic tour!

    A really delightful tour. I booked onto an early morning city tour on 05/06/2022. Booking online was very easy and straightforward, no issues there and my confirmation email came through fine. It was a very good price of £13. Karen was my guide, she was absolutely charming and funny. She was so friendly and approachable. She explained that whilst some of the other guides are historians by profession/education, she tends to tell you the stories that her granny has passed onto her. It was clear that she loves Glasgow and is proud to call it home and she wants to share that with people who visit. I completely recommend both her and this tour company.

    Rachel is a friendly and competent tour guide with a great sense of humour. She was only too happy to chat in between stops, providing recommendations and showing off her city with pride. Worth the price on the ticket - a good introduction to Glasgow.

    Absolutely class! I'm already looking forward to going back to Glasgow purely to do this again and see the different art we'll pass again. Jenny was so friendly as well as knowledgeable and really made the tour with her upbeat personality. Even walking through Glasgow, we noticed things we would have never noticed before. Can't wait to see you guys again in a couple of months! You really made our trip to Glasgow this time! ❤️

    Excellent tour. Very interesting, Glasgow is full of history and our guide Barbara was enthusiastic, friendly and made it fascinating

  • 5/5 patrick g. 1 year ago on Google
    I would thoroughly recommend this tour. I like to do walking tours in any major city I visit and this was a good one. Our guide Mary was excellent! She was informative, knowledgeable and very engaging. Her self-deprecating sense of humour kept things ticking over very nicely and we saw a good slice of the city’s history and some key buildings/institutions. She had an inclusive style and looked after the group well.

  • 5/5 Katrina P. 1 year ago on Google
    A very nice tour, and enjoyable both in the sense of appreciating the street art and the wider charms of the city. Our guide Caron was entertaining, evidently passionate about street art, and funny. She also made some interesting and thought-provoking points about homelessness, the particular difficulties faced by women street artists, and other issues, but in a genuine and non-preachy way. She was also careful to make sure everyone on the tour stayed safe and happy. I'd definitely recommend the tour to anyone who's passing through Glasgow (even if you feel like you know the city already, since you'll discover things you hadn't thought about before).

  • 5/5 Jennifer L. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great tour! I not only got to see murals I'd seen online and wanted to see in person, but the guide also gave a great description of street art in Glasgow and the graffiti artists. It was really interesting and easy to follow along. I really enjoyed it!

  • 5/5 Ata R. 1 year ago on Google
    We took the Glasgow City Centre walking tour on our first day in Glasgow and it was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide was very informative and did a fantastic job highlighting the charm and history of Glasgow.

  • 1/5 Jane W. 6 years ago on Google
    Not a good service, my friend booked twice and no one turned up. Absolute waste of time, it's a good job we didn't pay! Unprofessional and will be looking for another company to do the walking tour.

  • 5/5 karen f. 1 year ago on Google
    A fabulous tour today, with the added bonus of lovely weather… Our guide, Thomas, really gave us great information about what we saw…. Highly recommend this !!!!

  • 5/5 Andy H. 4 months ago on Google
    Fantastic way to see more of Glasgow and its quirky street art. David our guide was a excellent in his knowledge and made the tour lighthearted,humorous and informative. Highly recommended 👌

  • 5/5 Michael M. 8 months ago on Google
    What a great experience that I can’t recommend enough! Our tour guide Karen was fantastic and very knowledgeable. She made the walking tour extremely enjoyable and I would consider taking more tours with the group if time permitted. Her information was clear and her stories funny (loved hearing about the cones on statues). If you’re looking for a great way to explore Glasgow (especially as a first activity in the city) this is definitely an excellent choice!

  • 5/5 Katie H. 4 months ago on Google
    Excellent tour with David. He’s super knowledgeable and adds his own perspective to the narrative. When my brain gets overloaded I have a tendency to fall over (yeah, I know ) and he was kind without being over dramatic (which can get a little wearing seeings as it happens so often). Absolutely would recommend this tour so long as you’re ready to put in some steps.

  • 5/5 Vitor L. 7 months ago on Google
    The tour was amazing. Maddie was so informative and hilarious. I learned a lot and had a great time in one of the coolest cities I’ve visited in my life. Tip of the cone to Glasgow. You guys rock (and will get the cone reference). Cheers!

    Wonderful experience ✨.. Enjoyed the walking tour across the city. The stories and commentary was on point and made for a Saturday morning well spent.

  • 4/5 Klára Latinová, D. 9 months ago on Google
    We took a walking tour in Glasgow yesterday. It was nice. A tour guide was great. She answered all question we had. She told us an interesting story about the saint, some buildings and of course the statue with the cone. It was a quick tour of the city and its important monuments! But we were dissapointed that the tour didn’t include the entrance to the the cathedral :( Soo maybe you can include it the next time. Have a nice day. The family of Latinovi

    David took us on a walking tour of street art in Glasgow. He’s passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about the subject. I learned so much and it will definitely make me understand and appreciate street art in the future. It was fascinating and highly recommended.

    Great tour! We went on walking tours in Glasgow tour a few days ago and had a wonderful time! We saw everything there was to see in Glasgow City and it was well worth the low ticket cost! Our guide was full of great information and made the effort to talk to each of us throughout the tour. I felt like I was being shown round by a great friend. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see and hear about a lot of the city in a short time, it has something for everyone - art, history, modern city life and beautiful architecture. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Ola Z. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent city centre tour with a local guide, Karen. We were a big group and it was a bit windy and rainy, but Karen braved this tour with exceptional energies and cheer. Her guiding combined general knowledge with personal perspective and I really feel I've got to know better the character of the city and its people during the tour. The tour was thoughtfully organised, with a few welcomed breaks, we finished a bit behind the schedule because on this day there was a world pipe bands competition and we stopped to see the rehearsal. At the end Karen gave us suggestions for lunch and entertainment. Great way to explore the city!

  • 5/5 Gary W. 6 years ago on Google
    This is fabulous tour of Glasgow. We were on the City Centre tour and it felt like you were being shown around a well-loved home town by a new friend. So much more personal than those tedious pre-recorded bus tours and you get to do your 10,000 steps! Most definitely recommend this. You may struggle if you have limited mobility as it is a walking tour, not a dawdling tour.

  • 5/5 Helena B. 6 years ago on Google
    Best tour I've ever been on! Got to see the city through local eyes and all the best sites too!

  • 5/5 Rosie 6 years ago on Google
    Great city centre tour! Got to see so many hidden treasures like the barrowlands path that i wouldn't have seen either. Tour guides were so friendly and helpful at suggesting other things to see after the tour!

  • 5/5 Erin R. 6 years ago on Google
    Excellent City Centre tour from cool young locals. Loved walking round the Necropolis and the Clutha was great. So good to have a personalized perspective.

    We went on the West End Tour and had a great time. Beautiful area and really friendly, knowledgeable tour guides. The facts about Kelvingrove park and museum were especially interesting. 10/10.

  • 5/5 Johnathon S. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing tour! Booked this last minute just before I arrived in Glasgow and I'm so glad I did. My guide (sorry I can't remember her name) was so knowledgable and passionate about her city. In the 3 hours we saw everything I could have wanted to and more and were wowed with tales from our guide. Thank you. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Glasgow.

  • 5/5 Roseanne G. 4 years ago on Google
    Had a great tour thank you! Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and gave a perfect introduction to the city. We saw loads of great sites and learnt a lot. I would 100% recommend to anyone new to Glasgow.

  • 1/5 elena a. 5 years ago on Google
    We took part in the tour and we were very disappointed about the whole experience: 1. our guide was walking very fast in front of the tour without paying attention to details: if we crossed the street or not, if we are still enjoying the tour, if we are still there. She left us behind as we needed to wait for the green light to cross the street as many were in the street. 2. our guide started to point the important buildings without us being there as we needed to cross the street. We found this thing very impolite. 3. our guide did not explain many things and did not tell us much about the place, she just pointed/ named important monuments/building without giving us a full story; 4. our guide mentioned that she brought with her a special drink from Scotland but because she doesn't have any cups with her, she cannot provide us with the drink....Why did you need to mention about the drink if you could not offer us to taste it? A lady from the group had a cup in her bag and she remember about the cup but she was afraid to ask for that drink...the guide didn't pay attention to details...... 5. every holiday we take tour guides, the tour from Glasgow was the poorest one....the guide did not know about the city, about the culture or about the history; 6. If we had queries the guide was afraid to answer and all the time gave us short answers or she said I don't know...It's ok to say I don't know, but she wasn't prepared for the tour... 7. We paid £10 per person just because that was the price we booked the tour for...but this was not a guided tour!!!! She just walked very fast and sometimes gave us 15 minute breaks to see important monuments... Please Walking Tours in Glasgow take a break and go for an walking tour with your guide, your colleague (the lady with the red/orange jacket) and see if you can enjoy the tour.
