WALKING TOURS OF GLASGOW'S TRADITIONAL + CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE
Walking Tours of Glasgow involves advice ahead of trips re accommodation,
dining and of course types and areas of buildings.
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.

Dear Isabelle,
Oh yes, we had a splendid time in Scotland, thanks to you, Colin,
and your beautiful country.

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

Adrian,
I've been meaning to write to you. Thank you so very much for the
spectacular job that you did for nbbj! They were so impressed with
you and enjoyed the afternoon so much. I think they would like to
send you a proper thank you and also keep in touch. I hope we meet
next time - I will certainly ask you to lead any groups that I have
in Scotland in the future!
Very best regards,
SB for NBBJ Architects

Dear Adrian and Isabelle,
Your warm welcome for us in Edinburgh was much appreciated by all.
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
