Description

Through a blend of performance, storytelling, and historical insight, you’ll explore the city’s most iconic sites—from medieval roots to radical revolutions. Begin in grand George Square, surrounded by stately Victorian buildings like the City Chambers and Merchants' House. Hear how this proud Scottish square came to bear the name of an English king. Then journey through time—from the city’s early Christian and Roman past to its pivotal role in global trade, capitalism, and the rise of socialism. Wander Glasgow’s merchant streets and learn how tobacco, rebellion, and ambition shaped fortunes and fired global events—including whispers that Glaswegians helped spark the American War of Independence. Marvel at Glasgow Cathedral, pop into the Gallery of Modern Art, or take a detour to the Police Museum for deeper dives into the city’s character. Along the way, uncover how Irish immigrants helped shape Glasgow’s growth, and end at the haunting Glasgow Cross—once the site of public executions. No two tours are ever the same—because every guide brings their own voice, passion, and flair to the journey. Perfect for visitors who want more than just facts: this is Glasgow with soul.
