Morgan was fantastic! This way exceeded our expectations in terms of both the food stops and the history. We walked through the campus and much of the west end. The food was great and Morgan explained how the stops would be timed before we began so no one was surprised. Highly recommend!
We throughly enjoyed the tour with Morgan today. She is charming, funny and full of informative tidbits. It was a pleasure to meet her and sample the food at well chosen establishments. We especially appreciated Morgan’s suggestion to see the Dali exhibit. It was a highlight of our Glasgow visit.
Delighted you enjoyed your tour with Morgan - she's got great recommendations for the city and the Dali is a wee gem. Many thanks for taking the time to review.
Jillian and Duncan let our food tour in Glasgow and they far exceeded our expectations! We love to do food tours in cities we are visiting and this was one to remember for sure. Luckily no one else was booked the same day as us (a Monday), so we had a private tour. Their knowledge of history and the city was such a great addition to the fantastic food we ate! We had great conversations to go along with our eats. Highly recommended to book a local tour with them!!
Thanks very much Mikela for your 5-star review. We're all about local and I'm thrilled you enjoyed your food tour! Really appreciate you taking the time to review and for recommending our tour.
This was a great tour for our first day in Glasgow. Our tour guide, Rae, was exceptional and gave us a good history of the area and fabulous foods and tastings along the way!
Thrilled you enjoyed your food tour with Rae. Glasgow's such a great city, especially for the food and drink so really glad you got to experience it. Thank you for taking the time to review!
We had a fantastic time! It was cold, windy and raining but we still managed to have a lot of laughs and delicious food! Jenny our guide was amazing! He was a wealth of knowledge and very friendly. The stops were spread out perfectly. We were able to walk around the city and learn about its history! But it did not feel too drawn out between stops. We appreciated that since it was poor weather. The stops were great! I definitely recommend this tour.
Delighted to hear you enjoyed your tour with Jenny in the rain and wind. We aim to have fun regardless of the weather! Really pleased you recommend our tour and enjoyed the stops. Many thanks for taking the time to review!
Our day out with Gillian was the best. The food and sights were incredible and she was so lovely and knowledgeable. It was a great way to see the city and enjoy locally sourced food!
Thanks so much for your amazing review Stephanie. It was lovely showing you what Glasgow has to offer - it's all about local food and drink on our tours. Thanks again for taking the time to review!
Can’t tell you how pleased we were with this Glasgow food walking tour. Our guide, Jenny, is simply one of the best walking tour guides we’ve ever had - and we’ve done similar tours all around the world. Her knowledge of the history of Glasgow and Scotland was incredibly impressive. (She’s majoring in history/public policy) at Glasgow University. The stops in the tour included a cheese shop that was exquisite and a sit down at an Innes and Gunn pub. For four hours, and six stops, it was incredible value. But Jenny’s friendly, easy-going manner made the time fly. Couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough.
Absolutely delighted to hear Jenny was one of the best walking food tours guides you've ever had. Jenny was over the moon seeing this review. Many thanks for taking the time to review, recommending our food tour and for supporting our wee business.
This food four was amazing. Rae was our guide, and she was terrific. The traditional Scottish food and drink selections were delightful, and the pace of the tour was comfortable.
Delighted you enjoyed your food tour with Rae! Very much appreciate your 5 star review. Many thanks for taking the time to review and for supporting our wee business.
My wife and I have decided that when we travel to a new city, we're going to do a food tour, because 1) we love food and 2) it's a great way to see a city and experience a culture in a different way. This food tour was AMAZING, and not just because of the delicious food. It was also super informative, especially about the West End of Glasgow, which we hadn't explored yet. Needless to say, we'll be coming back! Our guides were fantastic and let us know about different things we might want to check out in the area. My one tip...don't eat beforehand, because you will be full by the end!

The tour was great fun! It was a small group and our guide was wonderful - knowledgeable, engaging, and fun. We particularly liked that she grew up in Scotland and had personal anecdotes to share. We loved all the tasting - it was a superb experience. Thank you!
Thank you for your lovely review! You're very welcome - it was great showing you Glasgow's food and drink scene. Really appreciate you taking the time to review, for recommending and supporting our wee business.
