We can arrange accommodation in contemporary quality hotels, dining in a range of good restaurants and suggested evening entertainment, ie the whole package for a fee. We also provide information on programme, geographical areas and building types up to a year ahead of trips. For example a group of architects interested in innovative social housing could be provided with tailored information allowing a programme to be agreed prior to their visit. Visitors can be met from the airport, their accommodation, or at the starting point of their tour. The Walking Tour can simply be a guided tour of Glasgow's architecture. It can be backed up by hand-outs and experts for buildings of special interest, for example a project architect of a certain building. A standard proforma allows a tailored service, eg for larger groups a second guide may be required, some groups are not interested in anything other than the architecture. Other than Glasgow and Strathclyde, we have provided information on Edinburgh and areas within the Lothians. photo © isabelle lomholt Glasgow Walking Tours - Recent Visits 2009: Dutch, Norwegian, International tours 2008: Cologne, London, Danish, Glasgow, Dutch tours 2007: Bath, London, American tours 2006: two English tours, two Scottish tours, Swedish, Swiss, German, Spanish, American 2005: repeat visit from the Architects Association of Catalonia, a group of 73 Swedish architects & engineers from White Architects and a group of architecture students from England; 42 architects from Lyon, Architects from NBBJ in the USA, numerous UK groups, Spanish, German and Russian architects, 40 Dutch architects/ In previous years we've run walking tours for 22 members of the Chicago Architecture Foundation, the Royal Society of Dutch Architects, 18 Ukrainian architects, 52 Dutch architects, 12 members of the Architects Association of Catalonia, Bartlett Architecture students, Dublin planners.

Vennlige hilsener fra Øyvind, Trondheim Glasgow Walking Tour Reference We had a very good time in Glasgow: I have the impression that everybody was very satisfied! As for your walking tour, we liked very much your intro about the the city´s historic development. Looking at the architecture of the different squares (Ingram, Italian Centre e.g), I found most interesting. And everything about Rennie Mackintosh was to the point! On Saturday we had a nice bus tour: We started out at Graham Square and Homes for the Future and then went on to the dockside building projects. After that, along the scottish countryside up to Loch Lomond. Even though it was rainy, the Gateway Visitors´centre building was worth seeing. But the the rest of the centre was a dog! We had a nice lunch at the Duck Bay restaurant by the shores and then we went to see Hill House. Your advice about the Hunterian Museum really made our day: we finished our tour there! Thank you very much for guiding us: I won´t hesitate to recommend your Glasgow walking tours to other colleagues visiting Scotland! Kind regards Eivind Glasgow Walking Tours: contact Isabelle Lomholt on +44 (0)1620 825722 to arrange your Architecture Tour Glasgow Tours image : David Churchill Edinburgh Walking Tour Reference 24 Oct 2005 Adrian, I've been meaning to write to you.

Our post-trip surveys ranked the Scotland tour as one of the very best we have ever offered. The arrangements you made for CAF were superb. The walking tours with you and Isabelle gave us good insight into the architectural scene, historic and modern. It has been a great pleasure to work with you, Very best, Barry Sears Special Tours Consultant and Tour Leader Chicago Architecture Foundation
