Why choose this Glasgow tour ?
Come explore Scotland’s biggest city with me on a half day walking tour! Join me to discover the history, architecture and culture of Glasgow’s city centre from past to present.
Find out why Glasgow was once known as the second city of the British empire, discover Glasgow’s hidden past and of course what makes it so special – the people who have lived here from the past to the present. I try to get under the skin of the city and share what it’s really like to live here, so I don’t shy away from discussing the city’s turbulent religious past or the ongoing issues of Scottish independence.
Glasgow is renowned for having some of the friendliest people, inspiring our city’s slogan: ‘people make Glasgow’. This is one that I think reflects the city well, and as a proud Glaswegian myself, I look forward to sharing the wonders of a place I am so proud of with you!
This tour is private and fully customisable to your personal interests.
