For those who don't have long in Glasgow, discover all the highlights of the city in a day!

 

Tour Highlights:

  • Glasgow Cathedral: With foundations dating back all the way to the 6th century, St Mungo’s cathedral soars above the town. From delicately carved wooden ceilings to a chaotic history at the heart of the Scottish religious Reformation, this church is truly a must see.

  • Provand's Lordship: discover the interior of this medieval house

  • Glasgow Necropolis: Discover some of most beautiful graves of this Victorian cemetery, where chilling stories and dramatic statues tell the tale of both beggars and millionaires.

  • Street Art: Glasgow is well known for its street art. Discover the history of St Mungo and how artists reinvented his myth through murals thorough the city.

  • Buchanan Street: From the intricate arches of a street dedicated to jewellers to the creativity of Rennie Mackintosh, learn how Glasgow used its industrial past to fuel a design renaissance and how people lived and shopped during Georgian times. 

  • George Square: Admire this impressive Georgian square and learn more about its dark past, as well as how slavery funded the expansion of Glasgow.

  • Lunch: Enjoy lunch in a local traditional pub. We'll share with you the traditions behind Scotland's iconic dishes during a 3 course haggis lunch, and with a dram of whisky

  • Kelvingrove Museum: discover the essential artworks of the Kelvingrove Museum, from the Glasgow Boys to Charles Rennie Mackintosh

  • Kelvingrove Garden: Enjoy a walk through this beautiful garden as we head up to the University.

  • Glasgow University: Finish the day with a walk around this beautiful and world-renowned university which may have inspired JK Rowling when she imagined Hogwarts. Meander in the student neighbourhood and end the day near Ashton Lane, the perfect spot to grab a drink and listen to some live music after the tour.
