Amazing afternoon visiting amazing art - It was amazing to be taken down long streets and walkways and rivers, to look at the amazing art on the various walls and surfaces. To understanding the history behind each one and admire the skill of the artists in each piece of art.

Highly recommended - A very interesting tour where you can see not only the most striking street art works, but also a few more hidden ones. The guide was great, could tell a lot about the artists and when / how the pictures were made. The 1.5 hours passed very quickly and somehow Glasgow doesn’t seem so big anymore. Only the meeting place for the tour start is a bit hidden.

An interesting art walk - Gabe was lively and well informed. It’s true that everything we saw could be viewed independently, but a visitor would never know where to look, and our guide supplied lots of interesting background.
