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.

    Definitely worth a visit! I enjoyed the transport museum. Great setup with many vehicles and explanations. Beautiful building and a good starting point for a walk alongside the river.

    Best atmosphere in Scotland. Some of the most passionate fans I’ve seen. A great stadium too. The Celtic fans have fantastic voices and belting songs. Really great experience. I recommend.

    Lots of shops and restaurants to suit all budgets and tastes. Some lovely buildings and shop fronts. I enjoyed an evening stroll when it was quieter after dinner.

    Grandad and Grandma with two grandkids.

    Grandma has mobility issues and we thought she'd have to spend her visit in the cafe at the Imax. We were wrong.

    Stuart, one of the staff got us a wheelchair and made it all happen. Wonderful customer service. Then, at the end of our visit, a member of staff followed us out to the car park and they took the wheelchair back.

    The activities in the Science Centre were great but everyone that we encountered that were staff were phenomenal.

    The university of Glasgow is a beautiful place to visit, as it is architecturally stunning.
    That, of course, does not mean it's a good place to study at.

    Enjoyed our experience, interesting to know the history of Tennants. Glad to say we have done it especially as we are local so good to know our own story. Lizzy was great guide, quirky, smart, funny, engaging, very knowledgable. Love her accent too :)

    One of the major sights in Glasgow and important to understand the history of religious reform in Scotland. Joining a tour is helpful.

    Visited specifically to see the finishing Degas exhibition, but I will be back soon to see the permanent galleries as well. The galleries are in a beautiful space, in the middle of a country park visible from many places within the building. One major disappointment (hence one star removed) was the use of language in the Degas exhibition - the curators made sure to condemn racism and antisemitism at every opportunity, yet they were happy to refer to (possible) s*x workers as prostitutes throughout. Please do your homework if you want future exhibitions to be truly reflective of 21st century values.

    Loved the chocolate & whisky tour! Morven was a fabulous guide - very knowledgeable and engaging and she made the experience so much fun. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the tour to anyone who enjoys whisky, chocolate, or just a beautiful view of the Clyde! Thank you!

    I've been on the tour on a few other occasions but this time topped the lot. It was made so much better by the knowledge and personal stories told by our guide John. To have someone who's family has given so much to the club showing us round was extra special. He, and his family, are an absolute credit to the club. Thanks again for an amazing day

    A fantastic look into a past life and a house that’s been lovingly restored and maintained by the National Trust. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

    We drove over to the West End during our 3 day stay. It can also be reached on the tube. We found the historic little streets although there were only a couple. We then went and sat in a lovely park away from it all with view over looking the Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum and the University.

    It's a astounding that someone could conceive of such contraptions, much less execute them. They are a tour de force, and well worth the time and cost to see both shows.
