Private Historical Walking Tour
The Private Historical Walking Tour offers a tailored, in-depth look at Glasgow’s fascinating history.
With your own personal guide, you’ll explore the city’s most important landmarks, hear captivating stories, and gain insights that go far beyond a typical group tour. This is the perfect option for visitors who want a more focused and flexible experience.
What to Expect
Your Private Historical Walking Tour starts at a central meeting point, usually George Square. From there, your guide leads you through the heart of Glasgow, stopping at key sites such as the Glasgow Cathedral, the Necropolis, and the Merchant City. Along the way, you’ll dive into centuries of history — from medieval times to the Victorian boom — all tailored to your interests. With no set group size or rigid schedule, you’ll enjoy the freedom to explore at your own pace.
Highlights of the Experience
Highlights include visiting historic buildings, hearing lesser-known stories, and enjoying one-on-one interaction with your guide. Furthermore, this private tour allows you to ask questions, take detours and focus on the areas of Glasgow history that interest you most. It’s an enriching and personal way to connect with the city.
Where to Meet
The Private Historical Walking Tour typically begins at George Square. Meet your guide between the lions in George Square. The Lions are just behind the White Granite Cenotaph/War Memorial. Note: in the event of a major disruption in the square we meet at the Piper Whisky Bar, at the corner of Cochrane Street and George Square. Public transport links are excellent, and it’s easy to get there on foot or by taxi. Your guide will confirm the exact meeting point in advance.
