Great overview of the city. Our guide was willing to go more in depth on areas or topics if we wanted to but we were happy with the general overview because we were only in town for a little while. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly and really enjoyed showing us around.
Tobias was great at sharing some of the history of Glasgow as well as information about recent changes and current events.
Worst tour we have ever taken and we have travelled the world for 55 years. The guide was very nice and he tried his best but Tobias is German, not Scott. While his accent was understandable most of the time, it made the conversation somewhat difficult at times. The real problem is he knew nothing of Scottish history, including the industrial history of Glasgow and feudal Scotland, which was the sole reason for taking the tour. We wasted 6 hours and a lot of money and came away with not one interesting historical fact. If I wanted to learn more about the Hapsburg empire, I would have gone to Austria. I haven’t sent my review to Trip Advisor yet but I am giving you a heads-up. Bruce Gingold
Luke was our guide. He was great; very knowledgable about the history of glasgow. He was also very passionate about the city. I enjoyed the tour. It was well worth it.
Unfortunately the tour was very disappointing. We had booked a private tour by a local, highlighting hidden gems of Glasgow. Our guide was very nice but she had absolutely no knowledge of the city, its history and certainly not any hidden gems. All questions asked were met with responses of “I don’t know” or vague answers that had no relevance. It was a bad experience and we learned nothing. It was a waste of money.
Was not sure what to expect. Guide contacted to get a little background about us. She chose all of the "right' locations. We had a great collection of discussions about her background (PhD in Marine Biology) and how it relates to her current life in Scotland. Locations were just what we wanted to see. Not just the tourist spots. Everyone should try a tour of this type.
Anna was incredibly friendly and welcoming to her city, with a wealth of knowledge to boot! We will definitely book her again next we are in Glasgow
Our tour guide could not answer most questions about Glasgow. We were told a few cute stories and she was a lovely person but it was not worth the money we spent. Our time in Glasgow was quite brief and we planned a private tour as a way to see the city in our limited time. It was quite a disappointment.
Anna was a superb tour guide. She met us as arranged, was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend her highly.
Guide was very friendly. But she is a student from Mexico. Would have been cool to get a tour from a local who grew up in Glasgow.
