What To Expect
Glasgow Cathedral
One of the most impressive sights in Glasgow, the Cathedral is simply awe-inspiring. Sitting on the original site where St. Mungo built his first church in 614 A.D., it’s safe to say there’s an extremely ancient history in this city. In fact, many people believe Edinburgh is an older city, but St. Margaret’s Cathedral in Edinburgh is actually younger than the Glasgow Cathedral you see today, which was built in the 12th Century.
On your tour, you’ll also get to experience what’s left of Medieval Glasgow. As you head along High Street, one of Glasgow’s oldest streets, you can marvel at the ancient buildings - and perhaps catch sight of the famous Tollbooth Steeple where the city’s witches, thieves and murders were hanged.

Glasgow Tour-Exactly What We’d Hoped For

5.00We had a wonderful day. Our guide was knowledgable and engaging and had many fun anecdotes to share along our trip. The van was comfortable and my parents who have mobility issues were looked after during the transitions in and out to various locations. We had some dietary concerns that meant we had to change a previously booked restaurant for lunch and our guide Fraser and the company’s administrator were lovely about making the change. We had a delicious meal at The butterfly and the pig. The tour was a perfect length and we were able to enjoy many points of interest and learn a lot in just the one day.
Great way to see the city

5.00Great way to see the city especially if you’re not spending days in Glasgow. Michael was on time for our hotel pick up, friendly, was knowledgeable and took us to all the memorable sites. He also arranged reservation for lunch which was a pleasant surprise instead of us trying to figure it out.
Lovely way to see Glasgow
