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!

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.
A must book!

5.00Johnny is amazing. Full of wonderful stories. Very generous with his time. He even bought Iron Bru for each of us to try. Small group, so it was a lot of attention. The tour last three hours, which was longer than I expected. So we had a chance to see a lot and learn much about Glasgow. I would highly recommend this tour!

5.00Johnny did an excellent job of covering the architecture, history, culture, and activities to be found in Glasgow. He took time to answer your questions and advised you on what to do and where to eat and drink during your stay. Overall very pleased with this tour and would highly recommend Johnny for a guide.
