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.
