Wonderful day visiting Glasgow’s top sites
Richard H,Apr 1, 2026

5.00Fraser was an excellent tour guide with a deep knowledge of Glasgow’s history as well as the wonderful sites visited. The highlights of this tour were the Glasgow Cathedral, the Riverside Museum, the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, and the Pollok Country Park. Despite the on and off rain for part of the day, Fraser rearranged the itinerary so we could manage the walking portion of the tour while the weather was good and then cover the indoor activities during periods of rain. As such, he was able to cover all of the sites during the day’s tour along with bonus venues. This tour with Fraser is highly recommended so be sure to ask for Fraser to be your personal tour guide. You will not be disappointed.
Fraser was great

5.00Fraser was a great guide and after hearing about the other tours we had planned pivoted a little so we would not see end up seeing the same thing again on another tour. He was professional and friendly along with being easy to understand. He also shared a lot of great stories about this history of Glasgow and its people.
OUTSTANDING TOUR

5.00OUTSTANDING Tour and Guide. Highly recommend Michael. Lunch reservation was perfect. The walk through the cemetery next to cathedral was impressive and we were able to take our time walking through entire cathedral with Michael sharing interesting information.
