Walking Tours in Edinburgh and Glasgow
Walking offers not only exercise and fresh air but a fresh outlook on life as well. So when it comes to seeing a city, there is nothing like taking a walking tour. Often the most memorable experience you have can happen while taking a walk. Whether easy or demanding, within the city or in the countryside, independent or guided, there are walking tours to suit any interest and ability.
When visiting Scotland you can take several guided walking tours, especially in the famous cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. Edinburgh walking tours offer a fascinating insight in its old and new towns. Walk down its narrow cobbled streets; take in its culture, architecture, beautiful gardens and landscape; or sample its whiskies, wines and food.
Glasgow walking tours too offer one an unforgettable experience. The city’s richness in architecture,both historical and contemporary, have prompted many organizations to conduct guided walking tours, so that one can get a closer look at the beauty it has to offer instead of whizzing past in a car or bus tour. These walking tours portray architecture and structures by some of its reputed architects like Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Alexander ‘Greek’ Thomson, Zaha Hadid and Gillespie Kidd & Coia to name a few.
