What travelers are saying
Well paced, great information, even got to meet one of the street artists
I have tried to view the mural art of Glasgow on my own before and was left with so many questions. That is why, when I returned to Glasgow, that I decided to book a tour. I am so happy I did. Our guide was enthusiastic about the subject and shared a wealth of knowledge about mural art vs graffiti. This was one of the best tours I've ever taken!
