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

Overview of your Glasgow tour

Let me use my knowledge and expertise to take you on a fascinating journey around Glasgow's most historic buildings. At the end of the tour you will be able to tell your friends about the Glasgow building where President John F Kennedy delivered an impassioned speech, the building that has its own Statue of Liberty and the building where Glasgow put a bear on trial! Don't tell anyone but we will also stop for a treat in Glasgow's best new bakery!

Your Glasgow tour itinerary

We will meet in the centre of Glasgow at George Square or at a location more convenient to you. The City Chambers will be our first stop before we walk up the High Street to the magnificent Glasgow Cathedral. From here we will visit the following historical buildings. . . * St Andrews in the Square * Gallery of Modern Art * Central Station * Willow Tea Rooms * Beresford Hotel * Mitchell Library * Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum * University of Glasgow After a 7 minute subway journey, we will finish in the very popular West End of the city where I can leave you to enjoy the trendy bars and restaurants of Ashton Lane or we can return to the centre of the city via the subway. If you wish to customize the itinerary in any way then I am more than happy to do this.
