5.00We took the tour with two family members who had been away from Paisley for a long time. There were only four of us on the tour and Rochelle kept us entertained with her mixture of facts and stories throughout the tour. We were familiar with the town and most of the buildings but learnt finer details of construction, alterations and changes in use. We would certainly recommend the tour to locals as well as visitors to the town. An enjoyable two hours.
Paisley - you need to look up.

5.00Don’t know Paisley very well, other than the main parts when I have had to visit. Quite astounding to hear far more of its history and actually look up and see the architectural gems of its past history. In addition we walked round the areas that are unknown to us as occasional visitors, was a real eye opener and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The walking pace was well suited for the whole group and Graeme (the guide) was really knowledgeable. The company sent emails in advance as gentle reminders of our booking which was helpful and clear location for meeting which is very central with easy access from public transport. Well worth doing.
