AMAZING!! Elaine was the best tour guide on our 3hr Glasgow tour. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and so wonderful to have guiding my husband and I on our tour. We are still talking about how amazing it was! I only wish we had booked the 4 hour tour so we could’ve had her show us more around the city! We learned so much and were able to walk around the city with a bit more navigational experience and bits of history to notice as we walked.

We loved our tour in Glasgow with Liberty. We had some personal issues with transportation that cut into our tour. Liberty was very accommodating and made our tour amazing regardless. Her passion for architecture and Glasgow was contagious and brought the city to life. Highly recommend.
