Absolutely wonderful! - Our tour guide was Sophie, a law student, who was wonderful. Not only was she so friendly and funny but extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Glasgow city. She answered our questions, informed us about the statues around George’s Square, the history of Glasgow’s saints Enoch and Mungo, and the many Glaswegian scientists and literary giants. We could have listened to her all day.
I highly recommend this tour!!

Perfect introduction to Glasgow - Grace was the perfect guide — knowledgeable, warm and funny. While she had a full group, she made every effort to answer our questions and to adapt to the group’s needs. Our tour with Grace was definitely a highlight of our time in Glasgow. She embodies the Glasgow ethic of friendliness!
