Visites à pied de Gander à Glasgow

The walking tour was excellent due to our tour guide. He knew so much about Glasgow! Very interesting history and beautiful. We were very impressed and he answered all of our questions. Wear comfortable shoes as there is a lot of walking.

This was a very good tour. The guide was very friendly and informative. He explained the historical and cultural side of Glasgow in an interesting and fun way. He pointed out things along the way that most people would miss. I highly recommend this tour.

Johnny was a fantastic tour guide! Communicated through Viator on where to meet to start the tour. Was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Glasgow. He answered any questions we had and even purchased Irn-Bru (Scottish soda) for us to try. He provided recommendations and sent an extensive list of them after the tour! I highly recommend this tour.

We were blessed with a sunny, warm day, but nothing sunnier than our tour guide, Johnny. Informative, knowledgeable, friendly and efficient, it was the perfect introduction into my brief stay in Glasgow to orient myself and figure out what I wanted to do going forward. I appreciated his ability to project, so I always heard him. He watched out for the group, but mostly, he really knows and loves the city. And...he even convinced me to go back to The Steps Bar for a pint - and I'm NOT a beer drinker! But I wanted to be Scottish for an evening, and he pitched the place well. And now, I'm off for another recommendation from him that we didn't get to on the tour. Can't recommend enough.

We had a fantastic time on the Glasgow Gander with Johnny. What really stood out was how thoughtfully the whole tour was done. Johnny is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly has a real love for Glasgow, but he never made it feel like a lecture. He told stories, pointed out things we would absolutely have walked past without noticing, and brought together the history, architecture, culture and everyday life of the city in a way that made it all genuinely interesting. One small thing that made a big difference for us was the way Johnny communicated. He spoke slowly and clearly and made sure everyone was following, which meant we could actually take in everything rather than feeling overwhelmed by a constant stream of information. It sounds like a small detail, but it made the tour much more enjoyable. And then there was the follow-up email! I was genuinely impressed by the exhaustive list of recommendations Johnny sent afterwards. Places to eat, drink, visit and explore, including things we would never have found on our own. It felt like the tour didn’t really end when the three hours were over — we were left with a fantastic personal guide to the rest of our time in Glasgow. Our only regret is that we didn’t do the tour earlier in our stay. Johnny’s list of recommendations was so extensive that we wished we’d had more time to visit at least some of the places he suggested. We absolutely loved the tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Glasgow.

Brilliant tour of Glasgow with Johnnie who not only knew his facts but presented them in a conversational way which made it very interesting and enjoyable. Wonderful guide would highly recommend. Information sheet after was a brilliant resource.

Johnny was a wonderful, passionate guide presenting Glasgow as his home. George Square was closed for renovation, but Johnny still managed to do a lively presentation. St. Mungo was one of his favorite topics as well as Trongate and Tolbooth Square. After 3h we ended in front of Glasgow Cathedral. Unfortunately, it was a Sunday, so we had to wait another 30min till the 2pm opening: we visited it ourselves.

I’ve been on quite a few guided tours over the years, and this was by far the best one! Johnny was absolutely brilliant. His passion for Glasgow really shone through, and his knowledge of the city’s history and character was incredible. He made the tour fun, and the three hours flew by. I could have listened to his stories for a couple more hours. If you’re looking for a Glasgow tour that’s informative, engaging and full of personality, this is the one to book!

I’m so grateful that we decided to book this particular walking tour, among all the choices in Glasgow. It was non-stop packed with interesting information about history, architecture and everything Glaswegian. We appreciated how clearly he spoke and we listened to every word. From street art to art deco bars to hidden theatres to the magnificent cathedral, it was all covered. The time flew by. His emailed follow up tips were much appreciated. We followed his advice after the tour and went to both the Gallery of Modern Art and the Kelvingrove Gallery afterwards, wandering the West Side. Very thoughtful tour and guide. Highly recommended!

Johnny is a delightful and very knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend this tour around Central and the East End of Glasgow.
