Great Glasgow walking tour - The walkabout was lovely. Our tour guide, Morag, was very knowledgeable and funny. The tour took a perfect amount of time and ended at the entrance of the necropolis. This gave us a great opportunity to explore the monuments and view Glasgow from one of its highest vantage points.

Entertaining and Enthusiastic Because of our Guide - Vase - Vase, our guide, provided an entertaining and enthusiastic tour. We learned so much about the city. As an architecture student, her insights brought so much of the city to life in both history and beauty. Why are there rosters on the tops of churches? - Vase knows. What are the types of stone used? - Vase knows. What's with the traffic cones on the tops of statues? - Vase knows. What's the story behind those murals? - Vase knows! TAKE THIS TOUR!!! But watch out for Daleks- ;-)

Good tour but modify the route to be more guest friendly - Tour was fine and the guide knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour route should be revamped. The highlight of the tour is the cathedral district but there is limited time available there due to the need to keep the tour to 1.5-2 hours in length. The tour route should end at the cathedral district not have it in the middle. Most people left the tour in order to avoid having to return to the cathedral district later to see everything.
