Looking glass/ traceroute question

in CCNA & CCENT
Does anyone have any familiarity with Looking Glass web sites? I do a lot of ping tests and traceroutes when I come across speed issues that I'm trying to troubleshoot in a network. I know that traceroute is only going to give you info for the forward path. By just using my laptop is there a way to test the reverse path? I took a look at some Looking Glass website and Looking Glass servers but I think you need to have the Looking-Glass software installed on your machine. Does anyone know of a similar took or have any suggestions to troubleshoot both the forward path and reverse path a packet is traveling?

Also, MTRs or pathping (on Windows machines) will be much more useful than a traceroute when troubleshooting routing or path issues.
