Had a great night with guide Richard on the ghost tour in Glasgow! Richard was really knowledgeable and kept the group engaged with his stories and great sense of humour. Covered a good area of the city

The spokesperson was fun and entertaining. A delightful time for sure. Not too much walking but lots of information about Glasgow history.

Mark was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and brought humour into the information seamlessly! His recall of people’s names and where they were from and how he could bring that into the conversations was very skillful. A very pleasant way to spend a couple of hours in Glasgow on Fair Friday evening = 4 x happy participants 😃

Dane_J, May 2025
Our guide, Mark, was engaging and funny, and even had the ability to remember everyone’s names! It was really impressive!
The tour itself was the perfect length and interesting. Mark did a wonderful job explaining the myths and, when appropriate, the true history.

Amazing tour with an excellent guide, can confidently recommend to people both new and familiar with Glasgow
Katelyn_B, Apr 2025
Mark is what makes this tour!! Honestly, tour guides can be such a hit or miss, but Mark was hilarious and personable. Fabulous Scot storyteller.
Anthony_M, Mar 2025
Mark was very outgoing and interactive with the participants. He was a great story teller at every location that we visited!
Lisa_B, Mar 2025
We had a blast on this tour! Mark immediately set the tone with his introduction, making jokes, remembering everyone's names and asking a little about some of us so it felt quite personal although we were with a group of about 15 people. He's a great storyteller with a good voice so it's easy to hear for everyone. We visited some spooky and interesting places all with great stories. I'd highly recommend this tour if you're visiting Glasgow.
Nicola_S, Feb 2025
This tour was everything I hoped for and more. So much history delivered in marks unique Scottish style, with plenty of humour. Mark remembered everyone’s name, and information about the whole group, spent time with everyone individually and was sooooo knowledgeable and enthusiastic with facts and fables alike. It was a great time and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.
