Overview

Go for a gander on a tour which reflects the energy and welcoming nature of Glasgow itself. All tours are conducted by myself, Johnny -- so if you have read a good review, you will know that that is the tour that you will be getting! I will provide you with a memorable introduction to this stupendous city, and at the conclusion of the tour, will be delighted to email you as many Glasgow recommendations as you can handle, tailored to your personal interests.

Walk with the self-styled Glasgow Gander around Glasgow City Centre, from Royal Exchange Square to Glasgow Cathedral, taking in the city's famed Victorian architecture, and drinking deeply of its vibrant atmosphere. Learn the fascinating story of Glasgow in the company of a passionate guide.

PLEASE NOTE: Every effort is made to keep tour numbers to a maximum of 15, but, in exceptional and rare circumstances, there may be more than 15 people per tour. You will be informed about this by email if this is the case.
