Amazing Guide in Glasgow

5.00We had a group tour booked and it far exceed any expectation. Our guide Johnny was fantastic, so much knowledge and passion about his home town of Glasgow. The tour was comprehensive and showed what an amazing city Glasgow is. If you thinking about going to Glasgow do it and I highly recommend having Johnny take you on a tour of his city
A truly enjoyable gander of Mother Glasgow with Johnny!

5.00We had a great tour with Johnny. He made it very enjoyable with his enthusiastic style and knowledgeable approach. I’d really recommend going on a gander of Mother Glasgow with Johnny. With his many tips we were also able to organise the remainder of our day in Glasgow (for example we went on the Sub-crawl that he spoke highly of and had a blast!). Thanks Johnny, and all the best to you from the five of us tall lads! 😂
Highly recommend!

5.00Johnny is a great storyteller and very knowledgeable guide. The 3 hrs felt like 30 min as he kept us all engaged with historical facts and sightseeing points of interest.
Just do it!

5.00If you want to get the most out of your visit to Glasgow, book yourself into this tour on your very first day! Johnny brought the city to life with his enthusiasm, knowledge and stories. I honestly could have listened to him talk all day! Connecting to a local, who in turn is so connected to his city, was the most perfect way to experience Mother Glasgow. I love walking tours and book them whenever visiting a new city. Johnny’s personable nature, engaging (and entertaining!) narrative and love for his hometown made this tour of my favourites. I wish we were staying in Glasgow longer to take advantage of the recommendations he shared.
Fascinating entertaining informative walking tour

5.00I enjoyed the fantastic walking tour of Glasgow with Johnny on Tuesday. The 3 hours flew. He made it all so interesting with stories and local knowledge shared that I’d have loved to extend my stay in Glasgow for another few days. Highly recommended. Thanks Johnny!
A top notch introduction to Glasgow

5.00Johnny is a legend. His tour is one of the best walking tours I have been on (and I have been on many many tours all across Europe). Glasgow is a fabulous city and it's worth splashing out for an excellent guide.
