Glasgow Like a Local: Customized Private Tour
By Lokafy
Get to know the city through the eyes of a passionate local. With no set itinerary, you can customize the tour or leave it up to the local for an insightful introduction to the city. Make travel about the people you meet not just the places you see. With our walking tours, you’ll skip the mundane historical tours and discover the city through a local’s eyes. Experience a tour that will transform the way you travel to make it as much about the people you meet, as it is the places you see. Our local guides (Lokafyers) are passionate about their city and eager to share their knowledge and perspective. Since Lokafyers are not professional guides and tour occasionally, they provide an experience that’s authentic and personal, like a friend showing you around their city. By the end of the tour, you'll feel comfortable navigating the city and confident that you have all the information you need to make the most of your stay.

Anna contacted us in advance and met us in the center of Glasgow for our private tour on July 7. She is down-to-earth, relaxed and gave us some simple options at the beginning of our tour to let us decide what we wanted to see. We were able to visit the inside of Glasgow Cathedral, the necropolis above the cathedral, an interesting shopping mall we never would have found on our own, an awesome store with Scottish candy and gifts, and an authentic pub. She gave us such a great perspective about what it is like to live in Scotland, and provided us some great insight into how our tourist perceptions of Scotland aligned (rather favorably) with reality. The tours are really very open-ended, and anyone that has particular sights they wish to see could surely have that included on their tour. Anna gave us a wonderful experience considering we were not that opinionated about what we wanted to see. She was so friendly, unpretentious and made us feel very much at home. We would highly recommend booking this tour!

Anna was a great guide. We needed a simple relaxing tour to fill an afternoon and that is exactly what we got. Some pubs, some shopping, some walking around key areas. Anna was just what we needed.

Our tour guide was a local college student who knew very little Glasgow history or information on the monuments and sights we saw. He was unkempt and smoked during the tour. Poorest city walking tour we've done. Expensive for a basic walk around town.

Kasia, our personal tour guide was very nice, very knowledgeable and took us to places we wouldn't have seen on our own. A great insight into current culture and diversity of this surprising and delightful city.
