Gander Walking Tour
The Gander Walking Tour offers a fun, relaxed way to explore Glasgow.
Designed to showcase the city’s personality as much as its history, this guided tour mixes stories, culture, and humour to give you a fresh take on the places locals love. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning fan of Glasgow, this tour delivers an entertaining and insightful stroll through the city centre.
What to Expect
Your Gander Walking Tour starts outside COSTA Coffee in Royal Exchange Square (not George Square!), next to the Gallery Of Modern Art and the statue of the man on his horse with the cone on his head. Look for the person with a black and white Glasgow Gander T-shirt/jacket! From there, your guide leads you through the heart of Glasgow, pointing out quirky landmarks, street art, local institutions, and fascinating tales along the way. This isn’t your typical history lecture — instead, expect lively storytelling, local jokes, and a real sense of what makes Glasgow tick.
Highlights of the Experience
Highlights include stops at famous statues, hidden murals, and often-overlooked spots that locals love. You’ll hear about Glasgow’s social history, linguistic quirks, and colourful characters — all delivered with humour and energy. Furthermore, the small group size keeps the tour friendly, personal and easy to follow.
