This was a fabulous tour! I think a lot of this tour depends on your guide. Ours was a PhD student in architecture so we got a lot of great insight into the buildings and structures in Glasgow. Noor was absolutely delightful and gave us a fabulous tour. We've been recommending it to everyone!

    Lots and lots of walking. A somewhat interesting city but did not come across as a must see. Would probably not do again.

    Interesting and tailored

    Courtney_L, Oct 2025
    Very informative, and interesting. Guide tailored the tour with what our interests were. Only wished the stories told were done more as we continued to walk vs stand. Historial stories took a good amount of time and we may have been able to see more. Overall a very good tour.

    Unexpected and enlightening.

    CYNTHIA_Z, Oct 2025
    Keith was info contact with us several week before our tour with him making sure we knew exactly where to meet him. He dedicated way more than 3 hours to us. He is a knowledgeable and pure blooded Glasgownian( hope I wrote that correctly). He shared the history,the architecture, the fortunate and unfortunate events that shaped Glasgow to what it is today. He spoke not only of the past but of the actual life in Glasgow. Very interesting and enlightening, we are so grateful to him for the xtra time he gave us and that his Spanish is impeccable making it thoroughly enjoyable.

    An Amazing Tour and History Lesson of Glasgow

    Peter_B, Sep 2025
    Our tour guide was Kieth M.. This gentlemen gave us such a deep insight into Glasgows history. He was literally a walking encyclopedia of history - simply a pleasure to listen to. My wife & myself thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the tour. I would highly recommend this tour - and certainly with Kieth M if he is available.

    Great day!!

    Chris is a great guide and provided a real inside view of Glasgow. His knowledge of local history was good and there was a lot of fun discussion.

    Great experience!

    Courtney_F, Jul 2025
    I am visiting for the first time and had half a day here. Josh was our tour guide and he was amazing! He was enthusiastic , friendly, and asked for our input on if we had specific places we wanted to visit. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions as he grew up in the area.

    A day in Glasgow

    My guide, Keith MacKenzie was a consummate pro. A native Glaswegian who brought historical knowledge, combined with his natural ability to "story-tell"...all of which results in an incredibly enjoyable experience.

    David_R, Jul 2025
    Keith was a very enthusiastic guide with a detailed and passionate knowledge about Glasgow. We saw and learned things that we had not expected to discover about the city. He happily changed times to suit us and insisted on waiting with us at the station at the find of the tour to make sure we got on the right train.

    Daphne_D, Jun 2025
    Our guide was nice but he didn’t tell us much about the history of the areas we visited - he basically just walked us to some of the key attractions: the cathedral, necropolis, art gallery… I didn’t learn much, mostly saw things. I could have just used Google maps to guide me around for free.

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Hi Daphne, Thank you for your feedback. While we’re glad you found your guide pleasant, we’re sorry the tour didn’t offer the historical depth you were looking for. We’ve reached out to you by email to follow up. Please accept our sincere apologies, and we hope to provide a more informative and engaging tour in the future. Warm wishes, Guydeez Team

    Good potential, not great.

    Susanna_R, Jun 2025
    Mada was very friendly and helpful with questions about our interests beforehand, and had many suggestions, which was very promising. We were on a private tour with her. We have been on many tours in different places, and on reflection, it could have been better. We have a few suggestions: She could have been more prepared with local history (i.e. when was Glasgow made a burg/village/city), and some basic knowledge of the most famous artists/ benefactors of the places on our tour. She obviously had not visited some of the other places she recommended to us, since she was unaware they had been closed/under renovation for some time. We mentioned we liked art, so our tour ended at an art gallery an hour early, but she did not have anything else to add at that point. It was apparent she had not researched the places on the tour in any depth, since we were all reading the plaques/information together and it seemed new to her as well. She had great potential, but needed to be better prepared.

    Hi Susanna, Thank you for your thoughtful and constructive feedback.

    Enjoyable walking tour of Glasgow.

    ELIZABETH_S, May 2025
    Very good, enjoyable walking tour. Guide was very accommodating. Took us to great sights. He could have given us more about history and architectural styles and time periods.
