An unexpectedly interesting way to spend a cold, foggy night in Glasgow. We've both lived in and visited Glasgow for a good few years and yet Vincent was able to pull out many new facts we were unaware of and keep the tour group engaged for two hours. We would happily recommend this tour to both visitors and Glasgow residents alike.

At this time I am not ready to submit a review as I will be submitting a complaint. It was pouring with rain, guide's whole body projected the attitude that he did not wish to be conduct the tour. There was no smile or warm words to greet us. Simply, name, show me your ticket and more to this other doorway. I have to admit my response was les than polite and I apologise for that but when we have paid for a tour I expect the guide to push passed his/her personal feelings. I requested a rain check (ironic) due to the bad weather, which was immediately dissmissed. I believe under such inclement weather this was wrong.

We luckily got a private tour, as the other tour participants did not show up! I mean - what a treat. Vincent is passionate about horror, the macabre, the beyond, and more. Across two hours, he took my partner and me around Glasgow's most chilling spots. - but not only was it spooky - it was also a lot of fun. Vincent is a great storyteller, but he also cares deeply about his client's experience. He learned more about who we were and, as a result, took time to point out cultural references to Canada, the architecture of Glasgow (my partner is an architect), and more. A great tour all year round! Thank you for an eerily wonderful night!

If the tour leader had shown up it may have been great. No call and no email. We showed up in the pouring rain and waited for him/her in the place specified. Very poor form. Also it’s difficult to get your money back.

I absolutely LOVED this walking tour with Vincent! As a big fan of all things wierd and macabre it was right up my street!! Vincent is clearly very passionate about the horror genre amd very knowledgeable... he was kind and genuine - I have a fear of "live actors" so was very glad he was so amiable. The tour is a mix of the spooky history of Glasgow, literary facts and some general macabre fun! Thought it was well worth the price and a fun and engaging way to spend an evening!! Go with an open mind and fun in your heart and you will have a great time!! Thanks Vincent - I will keep an eye out for any more of your work!! Het writing that book!!
