Great day trip from Edinburgh. Scott met us at the rail station and led us through the city in an informative and relaxed tour. He was great at showing us historical and cultural ( murals were beautiful ) points of interest. He also shared spots to get a great meal, which we did take his advice for a delicious lunch at an Italian restaurant.
Good experience. Close to the train station from Ediy

Osh was a terrific guide..he provided a memorable experience! He not only educated us on the history and notable events of/in Glasgow, but also gave us a great overview of Scottish history. His strong and varied educational background was an added bonus as we were able to discuss a variety of topics with him. We highly recommend Osh as a superlative guide.
Such an informative and beautiful tour!

She was very energetic and it was great and she taught me so much more about few miles square radius then signs could’ve told me and it was awesome!! Everything started on time and she went overtime with information! Awesome experience!

We arrived and it was raining-- but Molly was all in to support us! She did a fantastic job and provided a wonderful overview of the city. She followed up afterwards with an email providing recommendations for restaurants and links to the venues we wanted to see the next day. She was great!
