5.00I loved this tour! Our tour guide Henry really knew his stuff and was super friendly and kind. I loved learning more about the radical history of Glasgow and it covered so many interesting topics and intersections. Recommend to anyone interested in class history, the history of colonialism in Glasgow and feminist/queer history.
Highly recommended

5.00Really excellent tour of the revolutionary history of Glasgow, led by a professor. We really enjoyed this subversive history. We had also done a free walking tour and it provided some nice context for things we had already learned about the city. We wished we had time for some of their other tours. Their website has great information too. Book directly with the tour operator to avoid the travel corporations.
Brilliant Tour

5.00Thank you guys so much for the wonderful and important work you've done and continue to do. Our tour with Henry was 2 hours filled with inspirational stories about people from Glasgow that would not get much attention otherwise. We really appriciate the insights we gained and had so much fun! A big recommendation, we will definitely come back for another tour! Eva and Niklas

5.00Henry was a wonderful guide and really helped bring the radical history of Glasgow to life. As first timers in Glasgow this was a great way to learn about and see some of the city. It was about 2 hours in length and we picked a perfect day for it. We will definitely be back for some of their other tours.
