Great walking tour showing you unexpected Glasgow places - Excellent tour of gothic Glasgow and some of its darker links and tales. Vincent was a great guide who told the stories enthusiastically and mixed in a good amount of humour so you get a scare and a laugh. Theres a lot of history in the city and Vincent takes time to point out interesting architecture and places as well as the scary stories. Overall a great way to learn about stuff not in the regular tour guides and get a different view of this city.

Brilliant tour, brilliant guide - Vincent is an amazing tour guide, weaving mystery and fear factor throughout the tour. The interactive parts are ingenious. Vincent makes a real effort to get to know everyone on his tour and is generous with his time. We covered a huge distance of Glasgow and we learnt so many fun facts along with the dark and macabre. Book this tour and you’ll have a fantastic evening. Thank you Vincent.

Excellent night time entertainment for lovers of dark & macabre - Glasgow Ghost Tour was booked for me as a present, and I dragged my friend along knowing he'd enjoy it too. When I called Vincent to inquire about an additional ticket, hearing his ghoulish voice, I knew right away there's fun awaiting us. The tour was everything I wished for; historical, informative, entertaining & interactive. Vincent kept our interest high, and we eagerly followed him through the gorgeous Glasgow city center being shown little hidden gems surrounded by dark, mysterious stories from the forgotten past. I like to take new wisdom from tours, museum visits & exhibitions, always running around with pad, writing notes. After the two hour tour I made enough mental notes to run home, and purchase several new books, made future plans to visit places in the city Vincent mentioned that raised my interest. Expanding my knowledge is the biggest gain for me, and I could not be happier. Vincent is a great entertainer, and I thoroughly enjoyed his guide through the Gothic Glasgow. I would happily attend again with visiting friends. Highly recommended.

Exceptional!!!! I recommend this tour 100% - Victor was amazing!!! My sister and I came on vacation I was in town on a bus tour, and none of the other tours they offered looked interesting, so I signed up at the last minute, and it was the best decision! Victor was incredibly informative, and the tour was exceptional. It was theatrical but not overly cheesy or over the top. Victor provided a wealth of historical information about the city, all while maintaining a friendly and approachable demeanor. I definitely recommend his tour. He provided so much historical information about the city and was extremely personable. I def recommend.

Great walk of the city centre at night with a couple of murder stories thrown in. - Vincent's walking tour included information on films and literature related to famous ghosts or horror characters, such as Dracula and Sherlock Holmes, rather than a tour with gruesome murder locations or scary ghost stories. He told many stories during the two hour walk of the city, which included history of Glasgow as well, as used relevant photos of Gothic characters, authors and actors. On several occasions, the walk did not go to an exact location, but Vincent would point along a street to say something happened further along there. His use of a small sound system certainly made it easy to hear him, and he did include a few theatrical touches. It wasn't a terrible tour, but was a little disappointing compared to other ghosts walks we have done in Scotland and other countries.
