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.

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!

Grace was excellent, don't miss it.
