Johnny was absolutely incredible. This was one of the best walking tours I have ever been on. The tour was so engaging the hours FLEW by. He was so knowledgeable and personable. The props were such a nice touch. He had a drink for us to try and photographs to pass around while he gave us the history of certain places. Johnny remembered everyone’s names and personal details, I wish my memory was that good! This added another level of personalization to the tour. He had a good relationship with the people from all the locations we visited and I loved that he scouted out the places before we went inside to ensure we wouldn’t disturb the businesses or locals. I went on another walking tour that didn’t do this so it was much appreciated. Honestly, I felt like he should charge more! I would recommend to anybody who wants to get to the know the city. I loved the mix of tourist spots and the hidden gems of Glasgow. I do a lot of research for trips and I would never know to look for some of the places we went to. Johnny even sends recommendations at the end of the tour.
Amazing time in Glasgow

Johnny provided an EXCELLENT and thorough tour around Glasgow. We appreciated that he welcomed our 4 month old baby along for the tour and bringing our stroller was no issue at all. Johnny knew SO much about the city, history, architecture and restaurants/shops. He also took the time to get to know the group personally (all of our names and where we’re from). Getting to try Irn Bru was also a fantastic, little perk of the tour.
