Could have been a good tour, but it wasn't.
Brad_E
, Aug 2022
Normally, this tour is probably a good overview of significant parts of Glasgow. However, this particular tour did not present it well. It was led by an admittedly newer guide named Sara and the experienced trainer named Katrina. Sara was leading the tour and Katrina would insert herself when Sara did not have the necessary information about what we were looking at. Sara like to inject some social justice commentary about some of the subjects - an example, talking about James Watt and the steam engine being the beginning of the Industrial Revolution and how it was, perhaps, his fault we have so much damage to the environment today. This is a point that could certainly be tossed about in a different setting - however, I paid to hear about the raw history of the area, not be preached to about one person's environmental views. She also made reference to the local grey squirrel population, and that were "over eating and over breeding" here, and blamed it on America. Sara also seemed a bit ill-prepared for some of the stops - at one, even admitting she didn't have a note card for the building we were looking at and didn't know much about it. Katrina had to step in then (and in several parts of the tour) to add in important dates and facts. This is the first walking tour I considered leaving, as I was not having a good time. This was probably a one-off instance, however I would not go on this tour again.
SO much knowledge, So little time

This was a great tour with wonderful landmarks and artwork and a amazingly knowledgeable tour guide. Euan was fun and full of facts. He made the time fly by and we all felt like we knew a lot more than when we started. Great tour!!!

This tour had everything you want: Someone leading the tour who genuinely loves their city and sees its flaws and strengths; a tour that interconnects the history, culture, language, and architecture of the city; and, a guide who is well versed in all of those areas and able to answer a menagerie of questions. And our tour guide had a great sense of humor.
Loved the tour. Highly recommend it.

What a tour! I have forgotten the lovely, energetic and bubbly tour guides name but she did bring her adorable dog Martha with her, who was so calm and well behaved the full time. We had a easy going walking pace and it was a nice size group of around 15 people. We visited around 10-12 stops around Tollcross/merchant city way but the added bonus was being informed about the murals along the way, which we weren't expecting. The girl was super informative and could answer any questions any of us had. It was great value for money and to combine history and the murals in one tour, it was perfect!

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.

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.
