Good way to get a quick overview of the city. The meet up point is right across from the train station. Mary, our guide, was warm and engaging.

Great Tour

You’ll see the most popular sites in Glasgow on this tour and our guide was very knowledgeable. Note that you’ll just get an overview of the sites, won’t have much time to actually explore (ex we just saw the outside of the cathedral), but you’ll get a very good idea of what you want to go back to take a look at later.

A great Saturday

Catrina was fantastic! She’s a born and bread Glaswegian and knew all the ins and outs of the city. We saw some of the murals and the old cathedral. I learned a lot about the city and want to learn more because of the tour! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a short tour to give you an introduction to the city.

Good tour and knowledgeable guide interesting stories and buildings well worth the money. Saw lots of parts of the city that we wouldn't have visited
Stops you missing what you may do without a guide

Glasgow is promoted for tourism as much so we’re unsure exactly what sites were out there for us to see. This tour enabled us not only to see and learn about some of the important buildings but also allowed us to see and understand several of the beautiful murals in the city which we may have missed without this tour.
Louise was a great guide who was really passionate about the city.
Absolutely loved the tour

We thoroughly enjoyed hearing from our knowledgeable and fun guide, Karen about the necropolis, the Universities and the legend of St Mungo. We learned a lot in a short space of time from someone who is passionate about her City and its heritage.
Lovely walk with lovely guide

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
