Graeme was very polite caring and knowledgeable. He was also flexible about what to visit as we had already seen the cathedral.
Kenneth_G, Aug 2026
We had an amazing 3 hour tour of Glasgow with Graeme who was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Scotland and the city. He showed us all of the key highlights such as the Glasgow Cathedral, Glasgow University, and even must-see murals and other hidden gems. We can’t recommend him enough.

Good, not great. 3 hours is a long time. Lots of walking. Inner city is noisy and hard to hear the guide.
John_S, Aug 2026
Christie gave us a great and varied tour of Glasgow. It was a great afternoon with someone who seems like he himself is embedded in Glasgow. There were surely parts of this tour that you don’t get on most tours. It was great.

Absolutely fantastic. Our guide, Bruce, was fabulous. Great personal insights and stories. He know so
Much about the wall murals.
George_M, Aug 2026
A private two person tour with Christy who provided good local stories and insightful historical & current information. As Christy was born & raised in Glasgow, he gave us behind-the-scenes info and access to places most folks don’t get a chance to see - plus he was not doing a ‘canned speech’, he was flexible with our routing and our walking speed and answered questions thoughtfully. He is the ‘real deal’ in Glasgow!

Very nice your seeing the sights of Glasgow. The Glasgow cathedral and necropolis were spectacular!!
Bob_S, Jul 2026
Our tour guide, Bruce, loves his city, loves talking to people, and loves sharing information about his city. He was interesting, informative, and went out of his way to keep things at a comfortable pace for us. He has a great deal of knowledge that only a Glaswegian would possess, and imparts it in extremely entertaining ways.
His recommendation of a local pub for us to visit prior to getting on our train was spot on.
We weren’t there a minute before engaging in friendly conversation with some local patrons.
We loved Glasgow and can’t think of a better introduction than this tour. Thanks Bruce!!
Caren_S, Jul 2026
We had a wonderful experience with our guide Bruce. He was knowledgable, helpful and informative. We walked around Glasgow and learned about the architecture, the sights, history and street art by artist Smug. His art was fabulous to view and experience from
Close and afar. I highly recommend this tour.
Horacio_D, Jun 2026
This is an introductory walking tour to the vibrant city of Glasgow. Bruce, our tour guide, was very informational and knowledgeable about the city and showed us every nook and cranny withing a walkable distance to Queens Street Station, a very central location. We were able to get a good taste of the city and left us with the desire to come back and spend more time!
Margaret_B, Jun 2026
3hours went very quickly . Michael was friendly and knowledgeable . Would recommend this tour of Glasgow
Premachandran_K, May 2026
Very good experience to know the important landmarks and the history of Glasgow. Sophie, our guide was very courteous and knowledgeable and was caring.
josee_p, May 2026
We walked for 3 hours and very little was explained to us on what we were seeing. Poor knowledge from our guide. His French accent was too strong for any of us to understand him. Very disappointed on the quality of this tour.
Robert_W, May 2026
Excellent tour with a lot of good historical info and local color. Nice selection of sites in the city centre.
Gary_D, May 2026
We had an amazing tour....but not with Michael, who was the tourguide who was assigned by viatour to show us Glasgow.
You see, Michael the assigned tour guide didnt show up for our tour.
He confirmed with us via whats app the day before, and advised specifically where we should meet (all good). But then, shortly after that exchange, he tried to change the time to 3.5 hrs later because he had just received (i kid you not) an "emergency tour request". I didnt see his request to change the time until later the evening before the tour, and suggested combining the tours. His response was "sadly they booked a private tour". He didn't actually confirm that he was canceling, so we texted him that we still planned to meet as scheduled. He never showed up, never responded to our "where are you?" pleas. Nothing. Incredibly unprofessional.
We met another tour guide at the site from another organization and she took us with her group on a great tour!
Viatour responded to us immediately when we contacted them to tell them we were abandoned, and immediately researched, attempted to set up another tour (timing would not work unfortunately) and then refunded our prepayment.
We have had several good experiences with Viatours throughout the world. For this particular tour they apparently were working with a third party agency. I will watch and try to avoid tours where they are using these intermediary companies on future trips. This was truly disappointing.
Watch out for Michael in Glasgow.

City Experience w/off the beaten paths sites with nuggets of history.
Bruce was delightful, funny & inherently interested in Glasgows community. It was a great way to cover the city in a day and learn the city’s history.
Andrea_G, May 2026
Great tour!
Bruce was very knowledgeable and showed us a great time. We highly recommend this walking tour. Even followed up to a question I had about the clocks.
Kelli_N, May 2026
Sophie could not have been more knowledgeable and entertaining on our tour of Glasgow!! She clearly loves the city knows the history and is just a joy!!!
LauraDAgrosa, Apr 2026
Meeting at St. George square is tricky since it’s closed. We were lucky that Gary found us wandering around the square
Gary was a great guide. Very knowledgeable
Heidi_J, Apr 2026
Sophie was an amazing guide. She was so knowledgeable, kind, and fun. She more than adequately filled our time with the history and de development of Glasgow. Her love for her city was obviously. I highly recommended this tour.
Gary_P, Apr 2026
Be prepared to walk and climb. Our tour guide Sophie was knowledgeable about her city and gave us great insight into the development of Glasgow as well as the beauty of the botanical gardens
Leslie_B, Apr 2026
You walk a lot but our guide was accommodating to our needs. Our guide, Valentin, was extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. A great experience!
Charles_H, Mar 2026
We walked about the city but didn’t get much historical background or information We liked where we went but didn’t get the experience we wanted

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

Very interesting and informative
The guide was knowledgeable about life in Glasgow for locals and very accommodating
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.
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.
jaisimha_i, Oct 2025
Keith is an excellent guide and made the walking tour of Glasgow an amazing experience. He is very knowledgeable, personable and a Glaswegian to the core. Strongly recommend this tour
Suzanne_S, Sep 2025
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!
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.
