Hello, my name is Andy and I'm a passionate and experienced tour guide based in Glasgow, Scotland. I have been running my own Scottish tour business since 2007. I specialise in bespoke Scottish tours of 1 - 3 days duration covering all areas of Scotland. I am currently enrolled on the prestigious Scottish Tourist Guide Association, Blue Badge Programme 2023-2025. I give my clients fun and memorable tours, and a truly unique experience of Scotland. You can only get an authentic and unique tour experience like this with someone who has a knowledge and passion for Scotland like I do. I am an outdoors enthusiast as well as a hill-walker, and a student of our rich Scottish history and culture. I have travelled extensively through Scotland and so I have a great wealth of knowledge to draw on when creating tours for my clients. This allows me to create tours which include breathtaking scenery and must see attractions, as well as hidden gem locations, and "off the beaten path" destinations. My tours include historic Scotland, city tours of Glasgow and Edinburgh, whisky distillery tours, film location tours and iconic scenery tours of the west coast and highlands. Thanks for looking at my profile. All my tours can be customized upon request. - Fully insured with public liability and chauffeur insurance. - First aid trained. I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments.

Glasgow is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Europe and one of the friendliest in the world. Join me on a Glasgow city tour as I take you from east to west and back again, visiting the most memorable and iconic areas and buildings of this beautiful Victorian era city. From the stunning Glasgow Cathedral and the Necropolis at the eastern edge of the city we will make our way across the city, through the central district and main civic squares, and through to the leafy west end and the stunning buildings of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Glasgow University. We will discover amazing Victorian architecture and find out about the city's merchant trading history which funded for many of the buildings and made Glasgow the 2nd city of the empire. We will also discover the new Glasgow as the city remodels itself after it's post-industrial era. Glasgow is known as the dear green place so we can include some beautiful parks on this tour, as well as a visit to some of its renowned restaurants, bars or cafes.
Kevin is the only tour guide you should have to show you all things Glasgow & the surrounding areas! He was knowledgeable, fun & patient with our photography. He knew all the great places, both touristy & off the beaten path! thanks for two great days, Kevin!
Andy was a great guide! Well informed, flexible, personable, strong communicator, and happy to help us find the most interesting places to visit. Couldn’t have been better as we discovered a fantastic city for the first time. 👏👏
Andrew was an exceptional guide, very organized in our Glasgow tour taking us by car to all the highlights of the city. He provided us history and stories, beautiful viewpoints, walks thru cathedrals, universities and parks as well as pointing out museums, palaces and galleries for future visits. We were very pleased with our time with such a kind, knowledgeable guide!! We would rate Andrew with the highest marks in every aspect.
Our full day introduction to Glasgow tour with Andrew was a true joy! I contacted Andrew in advance to tell him about our interests, and he customized our day perfectly to match our energy levels and our priorities. He is engaging, perceptive, flexible, considerate, winsome, humorous, and full of information about Glasgow! We could not have enjoyed our day more! Just book him. Best decision about your time in Scotland that you will make.
Andrew great tour. Lived all the fun facts along the way.
Our tour in Glasgow with Andy was great. He was on time, attentive to our needs and very knowledgeable. He individualized the tour for us, as we wanted to do a few other things such as visit a distillery and have lunch in a pub. Our pub lunch featured local food and a wonderful proprietor. Andy has a great personality, and we thoroughly enjoyed learning about Glasgow. The cathedral was amazing as was the necropolis. We highly recommend Andrew if you are planning a trip to Glasgow.
