I moved to Glasgow 6 months ago so booked on the tour to see new parts of the city. I got so much more. Sean (the guide) is relaxed, knowledgeable and very easy company. The tour provides a little of everything, history, street art, culture etc. The tour started at 8am meaning we had the city to ourselves. I’d recommend this tour to anyone who likes a wee run and good company in a fascinating and beautiful citySuch a great way to go around the city and learn about its history!

Such a great way to go around the city and learn about its history! Sean is a fantastic guide and knows lots about the place, from historical events to more obscure facts. It isn’t as info heavy than normal touristic tour so you can actually remember most of it! The running pace is not too fast so that you can have a chat while on the go, but fast enough that you can cover a lot of ground and get some exercise. Even though I’ve been living in Glasgow for almost 20 years, I still learned a lot about the city!Super enjoyable tour around Glasgow. Sean has some incredible knowledge about the city and it was delivered at a nice pace. Would highly recommend.
