    On arrival at Celtic park my wife and I got a warm welcome from the tour guides. Our guide was Manus Gallagher who proved himself to be knowledgeable and friendly. The stories he told in the boardroom regarding all the trophies were entertaining and showed the in-depth knowledge he has. We were shown around the dressing room and taken pitch side to the dug out then up to the directors box all the while Manus telling all about the history of the club and the many victories. There were visitors from overseas who seemed to enjoy the tour too. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would recommend it to anyone.

    Amazing ground, amazing stadium. Not the first stadium I’ve been to, but it’s certainly the best I’ve been to so far. Simply amazing. Would happily return without a second thought.

    A great day and brilliant visit to the home of Celtic FC. From start to finish we enjoyed our time in paradise ! Fiona (our tour guide) was outstanding, her knowledge and passion for the hoops was evident and great to see. My seven year old grandson loved the visit to the shop and is now the proud owner of a Celtic shirt. A very good day (even in the rain !)
