Hello! My name is Amber and I look forward to sharing my passion of my city, Glasgow with you. I am a proud Glaswegian and was born and grew up here, only leaving to do my undergraduate degree in Social Work at the University of Edinburgh for 4 years. After I finished University, I went travelling which is of course one of my biggest passions in life. I later invited a friend I had made abroad to come stay with me so I could show her around Scotland. It was then this friend said to me 'well Amber, if you love working with people, you love travelling and you clearly have a real love for showing people around where you come from, why don't you combine all your interests and become a tour guide?' This was a real eureka moment for me and so from that moment on I have been working as a tour guide showing travelers around Scotland and have been loving every moment of it! I have particular interests in Glasgow's history, particularly it's social history and the lives of the people who lived here over the centuries- after all our city's slogan isn't 'People Make Glasgow' for nothing, along with the city's culture, architecture and thriving music and art scene. In my free time you can find me foraging, wild swimming or listening to Scottish folk music at a local bar. What I would like to emphasise is my private tours are all about customising the tour to you and your interests, this is YOUR tour and I want to make it the best experience for you. If you have something you would particularly like to see, or just a vague idea of the kind of tour you would like to experience, get in touch and we will work together to come up with an itinerary that works for you. I very much look forward to meeting you! I have a BA (Honours) degree in Social Work from the University of Edinburgh. I am not a driver. However, I am more than happy to accompany you in your vehicle.

Overview of your Glasgow tour

Come and explore the highlights of Glasgow's leafy West End with me on a half day, fully customizable private walking tour. The West End of Glasgow is one of the most vibrant areas of the city, famous for impressive Victorian architecture, quirky cobbled backstreets and green spaces. This area is known for its relaxed, bohemian vibe, so you shall find no shortage of vintage boutiques, cosy cafés and trendy bars here. This is the area of Glasgow which I am proud to call home now and I look forward to sharing it with you! I moved here at the beginning of 2022 to be closer to all my favourite bars, cafes and walks in the city. Due to this, I can share true insider tips, such as where the locals hang out if this is something you would be keen on finding out. Let me know! The following itinerary could also include Great Western Road with vintage shops, a quirky local bookshop and my favourite tea house in the city if this is of interest to you.
