About this activity
City Centre Walking Tour - 10:30am & 2pm
This is the only walking tour in Glasgow that will take you around all the main sites of the city, giving you an excellent opportunity to get your bearings of the city and gain a lot of knowledge about its history and culture. The tour lasts approximately 2 hours and will incorporate a break to give you a chance to visit the Necropolis, as well as a tea/toilet break. It starts nice and early to give you a chance to go back to the places you loved after the tour and we will always give you recommendations on what we think you should visit after the tour.
This shared tour will take a look at famous figures to Glasgow, such as St. Mungo, and their stories as we go through the city. Here's the sites we'll cover:
•
George Square
•
Glasgow Cathedral and Necropolis
•
The People's Palace
•
Doulton Fountain
•
Glasgow Green
•
The Clyde
•
GOMA
•
The Duke of Wellington
We will also explore some hidden treasures of the city:
•
The Barrowlands Walkway
•
The Barras
•
The Clutha
•
Templeton Factory
•
Saint Andrews Cathedral
Just arrive in the centre of George Square 5-10 minutes before the tour and you'll spot us with our bright orange umbrella/jackets. The tour will end at the Duke of Wellington statue, which is right next to George Square.

We have enjoyed walking tours in other cities and did also enjoy this one. Louise made the tour fun and interesting with her extensive knowledge of the history of Glasgow. Her personal attachment and the history of her family in Glasgow made the history come to life.
