Great start to our holiday! - Our guide was very knowledgeable and very entertaining. It was great start to our holiday. We especially liked the fact that he was a true local who knows the real city, not read from a book.

Wonderful tour and Amazing Guide! - We landed in Glasgow and took this tour just a few short hours after arriving. I was looking forward to stretching our legs after a long flight and seeing some of the sites. What I got was so much more than that. Our tour guide - Grace- was truly amazing. She was full of interesting facts and stories about the city. She made the tour fun and engaging for our whole party. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Thank you to Grace and Walking Tours for giving us a wonderful 1st experience in Scotland. And thank you Grace for some great food recommendations as well!

Interesting and informative tour with humour - I live near Glasgow and decided to book on a tour to get a little insight in to the history of Glasgow. Sophie was great with passing on information on buildings and monuments with added humour. I found it interesting and enjoyed the tour very much.

A great introduction to the fascinating city of Glasgow and its history - Very highly recommend Walking Tours In Glasgow. On a whim, we booked a 10:30 a.m. Glasgow City Centre Tour online the night before; online booking was quick and easy. Our tour guide Gabe was easy to spot at the assembly point in his orange jacket, and couldn’t have been more friendly, organized, and welcoming. Tour was very informative and well-paced and really delivered a great introduction to the fascinating city of Glasgow and its history. Gabe was extremely well-informed and able to answer any question on the fly; a delightful storyteller. Definitely a high point of our first visit to Glasgow—looking forward to visiting again in the future and enjoying more of this company’s tours!

Excellent Value for Money - Sarah was brilliant, so knowledgeable but she also kept it fun. We learnt lots about Glasgow in an hour and a half and lots of places we can now re-visit in more detail. Also met so many interesting people in our group.
Definitely would recommend.
