ABOUT THE Free Tour of Glasgow
This tour is operated by our partner Scotland Touring.
Step into the heart of one of Scotland’s most spirited cities with our unforgettable walk through Glasgow’s vibrant center. Led by passionate, storytelling guides — many of whom are actors by trade — this 2-hour experience is packed with laughs, legends, and just enough scandal to keep you on your toes.
Starting at iconic George Square, you'll weave through elegant Victorian avenues like Buchanan Street and St. Vincent Street, pass by the historic Royal Exchange, soak up the creative energy of the Gallery of Modern Art, and snap a photo of Glasgow’s famous “Conehead” statue.
As you stroll deeper into the historic Merchant City, you'll uncover the roots of Glasgow’s power and prosperity — from the homes of the world’s first millionaires to the historic tobacco exchanges that once fueled a global economy. Wander through the city's old town, where ancient theatres, bustling markets like Paddy’s Market, and legendary meeting spots like Glasgow Cross and the Trongate tell the story of a city constantly reinventing itself.
This walk isn’t just about dates and facts: it’s about feeling the rhythm of the city, the humor of its people, and the proud, rebellious spirit that makes Glasgow in a league of its own. With over a thousand five-star reviews and guides who know how to mix history with heart, this is a must-do experience for anyone looking to truly feel Glasgow.
