With your expert guide, you'll take a deeper look at his life, marriage, influences and incredible expertise; visiting some of his most famous works that still stand to this day, his first married home, and some lesser known treasures along the way.

Along the way you’ll learn about the temperance movement of time times that inspired Mrs Cranston - Glasgow’s leading tea shop entrepreneur who commissioned Mackintosh to design her famous tearooms.

After the tour we’ll finish up at one of these tea rooms - Mackintosh at the Willow on Sauchiehall street to view the iconic designs firsthand and explore their extensive exhibition.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Mackintosh tour of Glasgow with Louise as my guide. She was excellent, gave me lots of fascinating insights to Mackintosh's life, his life's work and his Glasgow. The two hours flew by. She has a very engaging manner and was great company. Thank you for a wonderful morning Louise
