Guide #63083

Hi my name is Michael and I would like to welcome you to Scotland! I was born and raised in Glasgow and have worked in the city for over 35 years in a wide ranging career including banking and education. Like you I love to travel and I have been lucky to visit the USA, France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Greece, Poland, Bulgaria, the Caribbean and the United Arab Emirates. In each of these locations I make a point of exploring the culture, history and architecture of whichever city I find myself in, and I would love the opportunity to do the same for you here in Glasgow, Edinburgh or St Andrews. I have led numerous educational tours with groups ranging in size from to 4 to 40 in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling, Perth, and Inverness. Further afield I have guided students across the battlefields of France and Belgium and also on thought-provoking and emotional tours of Auschwitz in Poland. Just recently I was fortunate to be one of the 21 students who qualified as a prestigious Blue Badge Guide with the Scottish Tourist Guide Association which allows me to guide in an official capacity anywhere in the country and it would be a privilege and a pleasure to share my knowledge and expertise with you through ToursByLocals in Scotland. I hope we get a chance to meet and stroll around our fascinating cities and towns as I share my passion for storytelling and give you a unique experience to leave you with wonderful memories of some of Scotland's favourite destinations. Thank you! Michael * Bachelor of Arts in History and Education from University of Stirling * 35 years working in Glasgow * 10 years guiding experience * Clean UK drivers licence

    Michael was the perfect tour guide for our family. He was incredibly informative, and helpful. Michael was excellent with our children who were more than a little overtired after our journey. He very much met each kid where they were and engaged with each of the kids such that they each out something unique out of the tour. My husband and I enjoyed chatting with Michael,...

    Michael met us at our hotel rather than us having to meet up somewhere unfamiliar. We walked as Michael pointed out the most interesting murals in the neighborhoods we visited. It was great getting the background on the artists as well as the insights into the current events at the time of the drawings. We asked to see the Cathedral since we were walking in the same...

    We had an unforgettable guiding in Glasgow by Michael C, meeting all our expectation on getting to know the city and it history, but also on our special request on local information on our favourite Glasgow bands (The Teenage fanclub, Belle & Sebastian and The Jesus and Mary Chain).

    Thanks Reagan that was a really kind review and I really enjoyed showing your family around the city. I forgot to show you the “banksy” it was in the lane on our way to the second Billy Connolly mural. My bad, sorry!
