‘Fantastic tour in and around the Merchant City. The tour is really informative, fun and is set at just the right pace. The tour guides were really friendly and enthusiastic. I would recommend this tour for anyone visiting the city or like myself fancied learning a little more about my city.’ Rating 5/5

‘Phil was our tour guide and he was very enthusiastic, animated and was clearly very passionate about what he was speaking about. You can tell a lot of love and detail went into the making of the tour and it was a really great day out. My dad and I live in Glasgow and was fantastic to hear about our wonderful city so would recommend it to locals as well as tourists.’ Rating 5/5

‘So glad I did this tour. I’m from Glasgow and thought I already knew a fair amount about the city but this tour gives such a different perspective in terms of the influences of music both past and present. Our guide was so well informed. It was all very relaxing – thank you.’ Rating 5/5
