A really great way to spend an hour and half!! - Really great tour! Martin had so much knowledge about Glasgow but still managed to make it all feel so relaxed and informal. The walk itself was at a good pace - not too slow, not too quick - and it felt like we were waling thepigh the ages as we crossed into each different Glasgow district. Excellent tour, well worth every penny. I'd happily take friends and go again!!
