Most memorable. Cathedral and hearing the stories about St Mungo. Also the murals on sides of buildings and what they represented. The tour was a good start to getting to know the city center

Morag was lovely, she gave a clear overview of the city, its stories, its people, and some of its murals. She could answer all of my questions, too! It was my first time in Glasgow and I came out of this tour loving the city a little bit more still! I highly recommend this tour.

i traveled to Scotland for my 50th birthday. actually took this tour on my birthday. really loved seeing the city. my guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. the only thing i would have enjoyed more about it would be to actually go into the cathedral, but i realize the tour was simply an overview of the city. i went back out after lunch and saw the city more in depth.
