Morning Run - Sean was super flexible and helpful in curating an early morning run to fit our schedule and interests. We had a really good time and loved the combination of morning exercise & learning about Glasgow's history. 10/10 would recommend!

Fun run! - A great way to see the city! I am a local but it was nice to explore new areas and hear a bit of history. Sean was great and I would love to do this in other cities!

A lovely wee tour - I moved to Glasgow 6 months ago so booked on the tour to see new parts of the city. I got so much more. Sean (the guide) is relaxed, knowledgeable and very easy company. The tour provides a little of everything, history, street art, culture etc. The tour started at 8am meaning we had the city to ourselves. I’d recommend this tour to anyone who likes a wee run and good company in a fascinating and beautiful city

Best way to discover the city - Such a great way to go around the city and learn about its history! Sean is a fantastic guide and knows lots about the place, from historical events to more obscure facts. It isn’t as info heavy than normal touristic tour so you can actually remember most of it! The running pace is not too fast so that you can have a chat while on the go, but fast enough that you can cover a lot of ground and get some exercise. Even though I’ve been living in Glasgow for almost 20 years, I still learned a lot about the city!

Crisp New Year Run - We booked this tour on a whim and the morning of dreaded getting out of bed to be honest. We are so grateful that we made it and kept on with the run, it will be a memory we cherish forever. Sean has plenty of knowledge on Glasgow and Scotlands history and we especially loved the bits that you wouldn’t expect to find in a history book. We will take this tour again when we’re back in town for sure. Thank you Sean for an amazing run, the amazing sights (top of the necropolis timed perfectly for sunrise), and your hospitality in a new city!

Best way to explore the city! - We were gifted the tour as a Christmas present as we only had a few days in Glasgow. We met Sean, our guide, at 8am and I thought at first: it's still dark, will we see anything? But we did and it was great fun. Sean had loads to tell, answered all our questions and kept an ideal mix between easy pace and stops. He took plenty of pics of us and shared them afterwards, so we also had some cool memoires. Thanks for the tour, regards from Berlin, Chris and Janet
