Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    This tour was really interesting. Carin was a great guide and was passionate about street art and graffiti. We really enjoyed our tour.

    I did the tour in my mobility scooter on the basis that the tour was accessible, as it was described. Unfortunately it wasn't accessible. At the first stop, the cathedral, we were asked to go inside, and walk down the steps inside!. Not a good start. The next stop was the necropolis, which was reached down a long cobbled street. My bones were well shaken by the end of the street. The tour then climbed to the top, with the commentary making clear that it was a difficult climb for able bodied people. We did not attempt it, but retraced our steps up the cobbled street. We moved on from the cathedral area, only to find on our route several examples of kerbs which were not “dropped”, and which I could not cross in my scooter. I was forced to cross these roads on foot - which was difficult, leaving my wife to manually pull my scooter across.

    You are clearly not responsible for the lack of dropped kerbs , but you are responsible for describing the tour as accessible, which it clearly wasnt.

    Finally, for the last 5 to 10 stops, we could not get any commentary.

    The tour was very well structured and organised, took in a significant part of older Glasgow and didn't involve that much actual walking.
    Phil,our guide, was incredibly knowledgable about the history and culture of all forms of popular music from the 1950's to the present day, and pointed out so many points of interest and what had gone on there.
    Even if you live in Glasgow you will learn an awful lot on this trip. Excellent experience and great value!

    Wonderful Tour.The places we visited were fantastic. Scotlands history is so colourful. The weather was very kind, so when we got out of the Car, the Sun shone. James, the Tour operator is so knowledgeable about Scotland. I had a great time.
