"We spent only one week in Scotland and could only spend one day in Glasgow unfortunately. We are so glad we booked the tour. Martin, our guide, was amazing. He loves the city and knows its history. He managed to give us a good idea of the history of the city and its evolution in only 3 hours. We had asked him to leave us at the McKintosh house at the end of the tour and he scheduled and managed to do that perfectly. We visited the cathedral with him which is great because we would probably have missed quite a few details if we had done it on our own. Martin has an amazing positive energy and even if it was a grayish misty day, we had a blast. "

"Many thanks to Marty for taking my daughter and I on a wonderful walking tour of Glasgow today. It was very informative and interesting. I would recommend to all visitors "

"We were in Glasgow for only 4 days, and for two of them my husband was alone with our kids. Gordon's team took great care of my kids and husband. We had great tours as a family or four and the tour guides helped us navigate some single parent time. The tour guides engaged our children (8 and 12) as well as modified the tours based on their interests. They asked lots of questions and made sure the tours were on many levels. We cannot thank them enough for the fun we had."

"If you think Glasgow is just a stopover between Edinburgh and the Highlands, Marty will disabuse you of that notion in the first ten minutes — and you’ll be grateful for it. Our tour covered an extraordinary range: the merchant city built on tobacco and sugar wealth (and the uncomfortable history behind it), the shipbuilding era that made the Clyde synonymous with industrial might, the finance and trade infrastructure that quietly shaped the British Empire, and how the city mobilized — and was targeted — during WWII. But Marty doesn’t just recite history. He connects it. Architecture to economics. Football rivalries to cultural identity. Folklore to civic pride. He moves between centuries the way a great storyteller moves between characters — fluidly, with purpose, and always with detail that surprises you. One more thing worth noting: Marty shows up in full Glasgow character — kilt, dapper wool jacket, and the kind of infectious energy that makes a three-hour walk feel like thirty minutes. He’s not performing the city. He is the city."

" My husband and I had a wonderful time touring East Glasgow with Luke. Luke is high-spirited, engaging, smart and informative and showed us a side of Glasgow that we could not have imagined existed. As Americans, we were especially intrigued by the historic links between Glasgow and the Americas going back centuries. Luke also gave us a look at Glasgow’s glorious past (the Cathedral, civic buildings) and introduced us to amazing street art. Many, many thanks for a smashingly great tour!"

"As a first timer to Glasgow I wanted a local’s perspective on the city for my family. Gordon was great. He anticipated questions we might have and took us to sights we would never have seen on our own. We had a short amount of time in Glasgow, due to being on a cruise, and this was a wonderful introduction to the city that made us want to come back for more. "
