They are led by a Glaswegian who is born and bred in the city. Tours cover Glasgow and its 'villages' in the South, West, East and North. Group sizes are 6-8 people and staring points are at main transport hubs or local monuments. They usually last around two hours and can be tailored to individual requirements.
