    What a deal! Preregister for a walking tour, pay when you arrive, and spend the time walking with Karen who not only has a passion for her city, but can communicate with a group clearly and captivatingly.

    I had literally just arrived in the city so this tour was a wonderful way to get my feet on the ground. Our guide was funny, informative, and gave a lot of historical and cultural background to wherever we went. If you're looking for a good way to kick off a Glasgow visit this is a great place to start.

    The tour guide was a nice gal, but the tour was definitely rushed, we were basically jogging on ice and over red lights. Some of the impprtant bits of info were left out. We felt cheated. Would not recommend. Unfortunately, there's no Sandeman's New Europe in Glasgow.

    I took this walking tour, as I only had one day in Glasgow and wanted to see as much of the city as possible...and they delivered. Jean, our guide, is a student at Glasgow University and was friendly, knowledgeable, funny and engaging. The tour is about 3 hours covering the heart of the downtown. The group was quite large for a walking tour, but Jean managed to keep everyone together and engaged. She offered something for everyone...history, architecture, pop culture and current events. After the tour, I asked her how to get to Kelvingrove Museum, and she showed how how to navigate the Glasgow subway and where to get off. Talk about going the extra mile. The tour was only 8 British Pounds, about $11 US, a fabulous bargain. I can unequivocally recommend this tour, at least if it is with Jean.

    Our guide was very interesting and funny. She told us about a whole lot of different aspects of Glasgow.It was a long walk lasting over 2 and a half hours but we felt we had a real grasp of the old town's places of interest at the end of it.
