Reviews for The Magnificent And Mysterious History Of Glasgow
Really great tour, very educational

Joined an amazing, detailed and entertaining tour today and I have learned and retained so much!! Very grateful to have attended.
Bruce is very clearly devoted and passionate about the lovely history of Glasgow and really engages participants in animated stories and facts.
I do wish there were a few more opportunities for questions and maybe even possibly a couple of provided binoculars for us to be able to see some aspects closer - eg. the statues atop the Royal Chambers
My mum found St Mungos cathedral and the murals most exciting whilst I enjoyed the arches behind the royal chambers and learning about the royal infirmary, it was a shame that we, personally, had to leave early but it was the only time we could fit in the tour on our trip and didn’t want to miss out !
Would definitely recommend if you want to enjoy the sight-seeing of a gorgeous city just that little bit more, alongside develop your general knowledge.
Great way to start our visit.

I booked the guide for my daughters birthday. We're both from Glasgow and I thought it would be great for us to learn something different about our city. We were not disappointed. Bruce our guide was excellent. He brought to life the murals and buildings in Glasgow through his knowledgeable and entertaining delivery. He engaged the whole group and made everyone feel that they were all part of the journey. The tour lasted a solid 2 and a half hours, that spanned from George Sq to the cathedral, high street and the trongate. I would highly recommend and very good value.
