Tommy is brilliant. - Our guide Tommy was brilliant...more than knowledgeable, thorough, articulate, charismatic, hilarious, approachable, and sensitive to individual needs. He was our dream entry person to Mackintosh and Glasgow overall!

Excellent guide etc. - Tommy the guide was funny and informative. Took longer than scheduled 2 hours. But be prepared for a lot of walking up some hills. Though they go slowly.

- Wonderful morning, well paced and highly informative. The exhibit at The Willows was a great place to end and we followed it up with a tour of the Mackintosh house at the Hunterian. Highly recommended.

The Glasgow Macintosh tour. - The tour was very informative, our guide made sure she didn't leave anyone behind as we walked. She was happy to answer our questions and explained the connection between the places we stopped at even if we didn't realise that there was one. Brilliant tour.

Mackintosh - Tommy gave very enthousiast storeys on Charles Rennie Mackintosh. However, because of his very Scottish accent we couldn’t understand everything, especially not the jokes.
