A Great Tour of a Different area of Glasgow

Mary_E, Aug 2025

This was a great tour covering a quieter part of Glasgow and very scenic area. We started at the botanic gardens and walked our way through the beautiful Glasgow University grounds, and ended the tour at the Museum. Sarah was a great guide, and her background in history provided a lot of facts that made the tour more interesting.

Great overview of west...

Great overview of west end including botanical gardens and university. Explained neighbourhoods and museums.

Exceptional West End Experience!

cathy_r, Sep 2024

We had an exceptional private tour with Lauren - learned so much history and folklore about Glasgow and the University of Glasgow. Lauren was so knowledgeable and so lovely to spend time with, and we loved hearing about her family connection to the University. We really enjoyed Ashton Lane and dined afterwards at the Ubiquitous Chip (had the Haggis and it was so good!) HIGHLY recommend this tour of the West End!!
