Travel guide

World-class museums, Victorian architecture and friendly locals are just a few of the reasons to visit Glasgow – you’ll experience all of this (and more) for yourself on our Glasgow tours.

Our top 5 things to do in Glasgow

You'll uncover plenty of natural beauty and human history on our vibrant trips to Scotland. Stroll Edinburgh's historic Royal Mile, climb the rugged hills of Arthur's Seat and journey through the Highland wilderness.

Best museums in Glasgow

Not only does Glasgow have some of the best museums in the world, but many of them are free to enter. When planning your trip to Glasgow ensure you leave ample time to explore a few of the galleries, whether you’re into fine art or transport history.

Best food in Glasgow

Scottish food is known for being hearty, warm and comforting – but that doesn’t mean it’s unrefined. Local Scottish ingredients are some of the best in the world, from its world-famous salmon to lamb and hand-dived scallops, and Glasgow’s food scene certainly does them justice.

What to pack for a tour in Glasgow

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and refillable toiletry bottles.

Raincoat

Rain is to be expected on tours to Glasgow, no matter what time of year you visit – but that’s just part of its charm. It’s no fun exploring in soggy clothes though, so make sure you have a good raincoat to hand.

Layers

Even in summer the weather in Glasgow doesn’t get super warm, with the temperature dropping significantly in the evenings. Layers are essential so you can add or take away as needed.

Boots

Cobblestone streets are part of what makes trips to Glasgow so beautiful – but a sturdy pair of boots are essential for long days walking around the city, whether they’re hiking shoes or leather boots.

Hat

If you’ve got your trusty raincoat with you, then do away with carrying an umbrella around. Instead, pack a wide-brimmed hat – then rain or shine, you’re covered for all weather eventualities.
