It was fantastic to see the interior of this iconic building. Our guide was brilliant and it was great to see an architectural gem still being used for original purpose. More

I've always wanted to visit this Mackintosh building and it was everything I hoped it would be and more. Guided tours with students as guides - enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Get there for the first tour as it is likely to be less busy. More

Did a great tour (we booked it there the day before), escorted by an art student, approx an hour. Fascinating and unique building and interior. A must for lovers of the 'Arts & Crafts' and 'Art Nouveau' periods More

Absolutely a must for any visitor to Glasgow. Be sure to reserve a tour at least a day or two in advance. Our student guide was excellent--knowledgeable and enthusistic. As you know, a Mackintosh architectural gem. More
