Description
We provide a small group experience where you'll get to know your guide and everyone else in the group too :) We provide the friendliest and best service you can find. We focus on creating a personal experience with our guests and hope to learn some of your own culture too, hence why we prefer small group tours. We'll not only explain the historical significance of the city but also explain how contemporary Glasgow feels and provide a Glaswegian perspective on every aspect of your tour with us. Then of course we finish the tour at a traditional pub!

Go Faja and Martin.
Faja was by far the best guide ever! She went above and beyond the typical guide. Showed places to go, shop, eat. How to take the Underground and more. With Faja it felt more like spending the day with a friend and being a solo traveler is the kind of bond that make the experience unforgettable. A lady with a full lived life eager to share the love of traveling. The owner of the company believes in small groups tour where everyone can feel taken care of. The tour price get you more than just a tour. It's a complete experience. Highly recommend.

A great way to start my trip to Glasgow

We cheated the rain throughout, but a good old Glasgow 'puddle' claimed a customers white hat in the end!
Great landmark meeting place, easy to find- get to. Connor, our guide, had a friendly welcoming manner. Set the tone nicely for developing a personal aquaintence with Glasgow. As a graduate of The Royal Conservetoire of Scotland and a musician, he brought some humour and colour to the stories he told using novelty song. The experience was enjoyable as well as informative.
Operator response
Love this Faja! Thanks for your review of our walking tour...we love delivering this :)

Jason's stag do
A great experience to see glasgow with friends and staff guide who felt like one of the group of friends by the end of the tour. Everyone had a great time and gained some knowledge at the end. Fee was reasonable for what you got. The length of the tour was suitable . Crowd size was perfect and the atmosphere was great. Best for anyone wanting to see Glasgow and wanting a bit of knowledge at the same time.
Operator response
Thank you very much for your kind words. We want all of our experiences to feel relaxed and like you are hanging out with someone you know :)
