5.00Can’t tell you how pleased we were with this Glasgow food walking tour. Our guide, Jenny, is simply one of the best walking tour guides we’ve ever had - and we’ve done similar tours all around the world. Her knowledge of the history of Glasgow and Scotland was incredibly impressive. (She’s majoring in history/public policy) at Glasgow University. The stops in the tour included a cheese shop that was exquisite and a sit down at an Innes and Gunn pub. For four hours, and six stops, it was incredible value. But Jenny’s friendly, easy-going manner made the time fly. Couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough.
Fabulous Food Tour!

5.00My wife and I have decided that when we travel to a new city, we're going to do a food tour, because 1) we love food and 2) it's a great way to see a city and experience a culture in a different way. This food tour was AMAZING, and not just because of the delicious food. It was also super informative, especially about the West End of Glasgow, which we hadn't explored yet. Needless to say, we'll be coming back! Our guides were fantastic and let us know about different things we might want to check out in the area. My one tip...don't eat beforehand, because you will be full by the end!
Highly recommended

5.00The tour was great fun! It was a small group and our guide was wonderful - knowledgeable, engaging, and fun. We particularly liked that she grew up in Scotland and had personal anecdotes to share. We loved all the tasting - it was a superb experience. Thank you!

5.00Can’t recommend this trip enough. Had the best day with Gillian wandering round the West End. Learned lots about Glasgows history and tasted some wonderful local produce. Will definitely return to the venues we visited. Thanks Gillian.

5.00I'm very genuinely grateful for your generosity yesterday. The tour was the highlight of my trip. Your knowledge of Glasgow, history and food is extremely entertaining. You clearly run your business with a high degree of integrity and tenacity. I appreciate immensely that you went out of your way by proceeding with the tour despite cancellations. For 4 hours of entertainment including plentiful top-quality local cuisine and beverages, a little exercise a little learning, good company and some Insta-gloating this represents the best value for money I've enjoyed in a long time! IMHO The Glasgow Food and Drink Tour is really going places.
Glasgow Food & Drink Walking Tour is a wonderful experience!

5.00We had a blast on this food tour! I highly recommend it as an excellent way to experience Glasgow. In advance of our tour, Gillian was friendly and responsive when it came to answering our questions and helping us figure out a date that worked for our travel schedule. She was clear and prompt in all her communications. On the actual tour, it is evident how much careful thought and planning she has put into the entire experience. The course of the walk took us through interesting areas we would have never seen on our own and we appreciate the historical and cultural context Gillian provided along the way for everything we were seeing. It gave us a window into Scotland beyond the tastings. Each tasting stop was flavorful and unique and fulfilled all our foodie desires. Also, the hosts at each stop were welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining. We have taken food tours all over the world and Gillian's Glasgow tour is absolutely top notch!
