Outstanding Walking Tour with the Best Guide

Published on Mar, 2025

Louise, the tour guide, was absolutely wonderful. She was extremely knowledgeable, informative, and entertaining. Not only did she provide interesting historical information, she also described the facets which make Glasgow and Glaswegians unique. It was our first time in this city, and we loved it!!!

Exceptional West End Experience!

Published on Sep, 2024

We had an exceptional private tour with Lauren - learned so much history and folklore about Glasgow and the University of Glasgow. Lauren was so knowledgeable and so lovely to spend time with, and we loved hearing about her family connection to the University. We really enjoyed Ashton Lane and dined afterwards at the Ubiquitous Chip (had the Haggis and it was so good!) HIGHLY recommend this tour of the West End!!
