5.00Johnny was an amazing tour guide - his love of Glasgow and knowledge of the city are unbeatable. He showed us many quirks, many of which I didn't know about (despite living in Glasgow for 15 years). He pointed out interesting architecture, and was very knowledgeable about the history of buildings. He recommended unique things to do, as well as places to eat and drink. Most all of, I loved his enthusiasm - it was infectious and we were all smiling the whole time.

5.00Book this now! Johnny puts his heart, his pride for ”Mother Glasgow”, and his humor into this tour and it shows. We only had two days and this tour gave us a great sense of the city. From architecture, to history, to pubs (of course), we got a taste of everything. This tour should be top of you must do in Glasgow list!!! Wear comfy walking shoes and be prepared to have a great time.
