Richard was great! The stories were good, but his humour made it better. The group was great and it was a decent amount of time.
This tour was great fun! Richard was an excellent and very entertaining tour guide. He told many creepy and interesting stories and gave insight into Glaswegian humor and personality. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys tales from the beyond the grave.
I had a great time on this tour! Our guide Richard was excellent - friendly, a great story teller, and he made sure we had a great time walking around Glasgow. He also walked at a good pace, no one felt rushed or like we were going too slow. The stories on the tour were excellent, definitely recommend this one as a great way to hear some of the darker tales of Glasgow's past.
Really cool experience! Enjoyed learning about the ghost, vampire, and witch history of Glasgow! Richard made it very fun and we learned a lot! Highly recommend for something a little different than your normal city tours!
Our guide, Richard, was very knowledgeable and had quite a few amusing stories to share along the way. His way of sharing the info was well received by the whole group. It was also the perfect time of day to conduct such a tour. Twilight only added to the atmosphere and contributed to the overall experience. We would definitely recommend Richard’s tour as one well worth taking. Enjoyed it very much!
Richard was an amazing tour guide, he was very knowledgeable, and also seemed like he was having fun with the stories he told!
Richard was AMAZING! I’ve been on several tours in Scotland and this one was by far my favorite. He’s knowledgeable, funny, and genuine..
Mark was so funny and so wonderful at telling the tales! He was so engaging and made it comfortable to ask questions!
Very entertaining, fun tour! Semi historical with creative liberties. Great way to kick off a Friday night. Richard was an awesome and welcoming host.
We enjoyed this tour very much. Isla was a great guide, very informative and passionate about her city.
The tour kept moving and was an easy pace
Interesting fun tour to do as a solo tourist. Excellent guide with lots of laughs and a great storyteller.
I highly recommend this ghost tour. Mark was an outstanding storyteller and candid about his sources. He did an excellent job of engaging with the audience as well.
We went on the evening tour with Mark. Great guide with lots of good history and just wants everyone to have a good time.
Our tour guide, Richard, was absolutely fantastic and kept the three of us, Bella, Marina and myself, motivated, intrigued, and entertained during a rainy night during this very interesting walking tour. Richard was articulate, funny and kept the entire group engaged. We can’t say enough great things!
Delightful tour! Our tour guide Isla was a ton of fun and very knowledgeable. Loved exploring this part of Glasgow's history with her as our guide and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to learn about the spookier side of some of the beautiful Glaswegian buildings and sites.
Richard was fun, knowledgeable, engaging, and mindful of all the participants. Great stories and views, easy walk, easy to find the meet up spot. A great experience!
Mark (guide) was friendly, knowledgeable, and just downright hilarious. There were some things out of his control that played to the stories he told during the tour as well. Great experience - thank you Mark
Decided to book this tour on my first night in Glasgow about an hour before it started. I am so glad I did because it was well worth the money! Isla (not sure how to spell her name) was knowledgeable and entertaining, and I would definitely do it again. Highly recommend!
Mark was a great tour guide. Very impressed by his depth of knowledge of the city, funny story teller, personable, and loved that he was a local, so great personal touch to the tour.
Very Fun and interesting!! Thanks Richard and his energy for the tour. We all had an amazing time, definitely would recommend.
Travelling with three teens who deemed this the highlight of the trip. Ghosts, witches and storytelling what's not to love !
This was a fun tour led by a gifted storyteller, Richard. Learned tales from the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Glasgow Cathedral, the Necropolis and more!
Our guide was Richard and he was friendly and knowledgeable and very interesting! He showed us great views of the Cathedral and Necropolis and some local landmarks, along with sharing history and urban legends and everything in between. A great showing!
Richard was a fantastic guide!!!! Super knowledgeable and very entertaining! Would definitely recommend
Excellent and fun review! Great Glasgow history and ghosts! Our guide answered all my questions, funny and informative
Richard was amazing. He made it a fun experience and we learned a lot about Glasgow’s history. It was a lovely walk too.
Richard did an awesome job telling us tales of local ghosts, vampires, witches and science experiments. He was quite entertaining and kept the audience engaged throughout the entire tour, even with having to host 24 people. Not one person was left behind!
It is good, a pleasant night ending a quiet pub. It can rain in Scotland so if you are dressed for the weather you will have a good time
This tour was so much fun! Our guide Richard was fantastic! He was full of wonderful stories, very funny, and extremely personable. I would recommend this tour to anyone! 10/10!!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your wonderful review! If only the score could go to 10. We shall let Richard know you had a great time!
Richard, our ghost tour was very knowledgeable of the dark underbelly history of Glasgow. The tour ended at a very cozy pub which was an added bonus.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for your review! A good pub to finish in is the best!
