Visited during the exams, so had limited access. HOWEVER we had the guided tour with a lovely 1st year student from York, who's name I've forgotten (Sorry!). The tour was very worthwhile.

Craig, our guide, a postgraduate student, was extremely well informed and made our tour really interesting. Not only did we learn all about Charles Rennie Mackintosh's wonderful School of Art building, but we also gained an insight into the life of contemporary art students in Glasgow. He made it all come alive for us. Don't miss this tour – it's...

Laura, a very friendly and knowledgable graduate led a tour which helped me to step back into Charles Rennie Mackintosh's world while at the same time feeling his building still alive with the students' current artistic talent. Interesting, stimulating and not to missed. This and a tour of Mackintosh's House at the Hunterian made my first visit to Glasgow worthwhile...

this is a wonderful building and if you are a fan of Charles Rennie McIntosh this is the place for you. There is also a shop you can buy some great memories of your visit, walk round the building and see all the exterior quirky things on the outside of the building too
A well informed former student took us round many of the rooms and areas designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. She was informative and struck the right balance between information and time for questions, reflection in the room etc. Some parts were more interesting than others but it certainly worth booking up and having a look round.
If you only have a short period of time in Glasgow I'd easily recommend this. Considering the fact it was done by actual students instead of tour guides made it feel more worthwhile as from their point of view you end up learning a lot about the history of architecture in Glasgow. Also the two tour guides Georgia and Craig...

If you are in Glasgow, this is worth seeing, although I wouldn't make a special trip to see it. The student led tours describe the history of the old art building.
Disappointed to find that the main tour is not available during exam periods. Took the external tour which only cost £4.50 each. However, the tour guide was mainly drowned out by the noise from the adjoining building site. There are a few pieces of furniture inside but nothing can compensate for not seeing the inside of the building. Make sure...

We could not go inside because of the Graduate show that was happening in the next few days. However, Laura, our guide, was so charming and informative. We found out lots of inside information and the furniture room was amazing. It was good value even with the shortened tour. Would love to go back to see inside.
Disappointed that student critiques were being conducted so there were no interior tours being given but the outside and furniture gallery tour was very informative.
