Loved our tour with Hailey! From start to finish was excellent all around. Our driver from the port, Mark was professional and super nice. He even stopped at his fave pastry place and brought us something for the ride back to the ship! Hailey was so knowledgeable and passionate about her transplanted home. We experienced all of Scotland weather in half a day, rain, wind, cloud, more rain then sunshine! Hailey made the history of Glasgow come alive and we truly loved the city. The humorous anecdotes that were interspersed meant you were never bored.

Johnny was so knowledgeable about Glasgow and very compassionate regarding my bad back that was acting up the morning we met. We hit all the hot spots and I learned a lot about your beautiful city. It was a delightful and informative day and I am very thankful to have met Johnny. Definitely give the tour a go!

Our tour guide, Greg Barrowmen, did an outstanding job as he guided us through the high points of Glasglow. He was very happy to share the history and the love of his city with us, but, even more importantly, he was very attentive to the needs of our group, two of whom had difficulty walking in some of the hilly areas.
Very pleasant

Our guide was Elsa. We were very impressed with her great knowledge of the city and its history. The tour consisted of many interesting places. We chose to take the tour the first day we were in Glasgow, and it gave us a good overview of the city center while learning about the city's history. Elsa was just so sweet and friendly and we would definitely recommend this tour and Elsa as a guide.
we so enjoyed her day with Greg are guy. He was from the Glasgow area and additive unique Spain and the City for us. We

Greg s a wonderful guide. Very fun and informative. He showed us a unique side of Glasgow, his home. We had requested Zhanna who was booked that day but Greg could guide with the best of them.
Excellent way to see Glasgow

Our Tour Guide Zhanna met us at the train station and took us on a wonderful walking tour of Glasgow. She kept the pace to our liking, stopping longer at certain places we found particularly interesting and moving along in others. If you only have a few hours to spend, this tour is for you. Zhanna is extremely knowledgeable, has a great sense of humor, and made certain that we had recommendations for shopping and lunch after our tour was over. We were also treated to a little tea break which gave us an opportunity to rest a bit in the middle of the tour.
Wonderful tour of the city!

Our tour guide Andrea was friendly, knowledgeable and kind. She met us at our hotel and our walking tour began! She told us stories about the history of Glasgow that I will never forget. She was helpful and encouraged questions. Really a wonderful experience and I would recommend requesting Andrea as your guide. I will return to Glasgow!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
