Walks by locals. Private Tours
Today I took my first walk as part of Walk by Locals team.
A American couple from Seattle. Full day walking and using public transport. We all enjoyed our time out in the city.
We visited Merchant city, City Centre, Park circus, Kelvingrove park,University,Art Gallerys and down to the Riverside museum.
Underground back to Buchannan street.
Great being backout showing visitors round our great city.
I was a bit apprehensive at first but after a short while I relaxed and interacted with my two new friend Madge and Ken.

History of my tours
For five or six years I have showed visitors around my home town. I own Westend Walks of Glasgow.
It is great fun meeting fellow travellers from around the world.
I enjoy the experience of letting tourists see my city close up.
I tell stories about growing up in town. Things like the time I saw the Beatles running down Hope street. Up Sauchie,doon Buckie and along a Argyle.--Corny but a good way to explain the main streets.
Will tell you the good side and bad side.
Fancy meeting up.

Today I took 11 Icelanders round Glasgow. A small church choir from a small town in the Westfjords of Iceland. Great fun
They are staying at the Abodehotel on Bathstreet. So we started there. They were ages with me so a bit slow. We walked along Sauchiehall street .Down Buchannan. Through the Merchant city.
Everybody loves the Duke,Copenhagen and the traffic cone.
Next we went back on Buchannon street. Great the buskers helped out with some cool music.
Crossed Argyll street. Stopped at the Times square pub for short break.
After that along the banks of the Clyde. Up to Trongate and finish in George Square. Easy tour with great people. Great to see people enjoying my city.
