Quite a bit of walking involved, but well worth it! We were shown many murals and our guide was quite knowledgeable about the artists and their art works. I highly recommend this tour which takes you to neighborhoods you wouldn’t otherwise find on your own.
David is an excellent tour guide. He not only showed us murals, he also explained the background of the work and the artists. We believe that he knows a lot more than he showed us! But with the time constraint, he can only show us about 8 murals and sculptures. I wish we could see more pieces in the Tour.
Terrific tour with Sophie - she was an excellent tour guide with great knowledge of Glasgow street art and history, very energetic & enthusiastic about her love for Glasgow. I strongly recommend this tour.
Grace was awesome. So friendly and knowledgeable. I had seen some of the artwork around the city but was so grateful to learn about the artists, their various techniques and to better understand the relationship between the artists and the city. We were also fortunate enough to see an artist at work and got to chat with them a bit. Thank you for this tour!
Fantastic tour. Grace showed us a different side of Glasgow. She was informative and kind. Clearly loves her city and art
Grace was fantastic- personable, knowledgeable and kind - a real credit to her organization. Can’t rate her high enough.
Outstanding guide, David, who offered great insight into the history of the murals throughout Glasgow. He was articulate and very intelligent regarding the artists and how each mural represents life in Glasgow. Thank you for a great tour!
This is a fascinating study of art, society and culture in Glasgow. David was a terrific tour guide with insights that enhanced the tour. It is an easy walk and well worth the sights. I have a new appreciation for Street Art (and I was a fan before).
Gabriel was an amazing guide during the murals / street art tour. He showed us all the murals, told their name or theme, the artist, when they were made and some interesting or funny facts about them. All by heart, without reading from his phone or a paper. Well done! Gabriel is very caring for the group of people he takes with him and makes sure everyone catches up and will be safe by warning traffic might come from places you don’t expect it to come, which was helpful. He is happy to answer any questions the group has. Would definitely recommend this tour and hope Gabriel or one of the other tour guides will show you around this amazing way to get to know Glasgow a bit better.
David was very well very versed in Glaswegian street art. He was entertaining, as well as informative. He knew the background stories to each piece. The walk was for all fitness levels, and he made sure we stuck together and stayed safe. I appreciated his knowledge and his friendly, outgoing personality.
interresting, but I missed to be guided to some of the announced artpieces. But the guide knew a lot details about the artits.
Really nice tour and Grace was an excellent guide. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic, just the right amount of enthusiasm in fact! The tour had the right focus on art with appropriate bits of Glasgow history and was a nice distance and duration.
Suzi is a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Not only did I see hidden graffitis but also learnt more about Glaswegian history. Excellent!
This is definitely a must-do tour in Glasgow! It is so cool to see all of the street art throughout the city. Grace was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide as well.
Involves a good walk so wear comfy shoes? A great experience, led by a knowledgable and entertaining guide- excellent. Extremely interesting. Loop
Suzy was very passionate about the street art and had lots of stories to tell. A fun experience and a good walk.
There as a lot of art work to see within a short distance, which was handy! The variety of work was inspiring.
It was very entertaining and informative and Grace an exceptionally excellent Guide with good humor and Knowledge and interest in what she showed us. We highly recommend this tour
We had the pleasure of Grace as our tour guide, who was polite, insightful, engaging, knowledgeable and an enthusiastic. Grace made the tour thoroughly interesting and very memorable. Anyone coming to Glasgow, I would have no hesitation in highly recommend recommending they book this tour.
Susie was incredible. So informative and interesting. She's obviously a teacher and art lover and makes it so enjoyable. She's a treasure!
Gabriel was extremely knowledgeable about all the street art on the tour and knew some amazing facts. It was a really interesting addition to our trip to Glasgow. Definitely recommend it.
Very informative and a really fun guide. The main artists are just amazing. This was just a taster but will continue looking for more!
Grace was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, friendly & professional, she really knows her street art! She told us quite a bit about the background linking it in with local history & famous inhabitants. We also learnt all the terminology & it was great to discover parts of Glasgow I wouldn't have seen otherwise.
Bring an umbrella & wear warm clothes!
I would thoroughly recommend it.
David provided us with the clear difference between graffiti and street art. He was personable and fun.
Liz did a great job showing us all of the various murals around the city. We had her earlier in the day for the central tour, and we were afraid that we would see the same artwork during this tour. Luckily everything that she showed us was very new/different. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and will be recommending it to our friends.
This was fab - a great introduction into street art and how much of it is actually in Glasgow! It was a shame we weren’t able to see more murals, mostly because it was belting down with rain!
Packed with information it was a great experience. Led by Grace who was just perfect for the job answering all our questions and keeping us safe on the roads. Even though we born in Glasgow we learned so much. Don't hesitate to book you will love it.
Our guide Gabriel was wonderful. Not only does he take you to the murals, but he also gives you background on the artists, their techniques, and the cultural context.
Great insight into the culture of the city! Gabe was personable and engaging, very funny and obviously quite knowledgeable!
Suzie have this amazing tour that immersed us into the local culture through the eyes of street artists.
