Glasgow by Minibus

Discover the charm and remarkable history of Glasgow on our private panoramic tour. Glasgow by minibus links the city’s main attractions in a dynamic and comfortable way, making it easy to reach sights and historic places further afield. The tour can be longer or shorter, fully tailor-made and focused on themes that interest your group. Your specialist historian guide is always with you, sharing detailed information and curiosities about every place you visit.

The birthplace of the Industrial Revolution and of important social movements, Glasgow is today Scotland’s most cosmopolitan city. During the tour, we will see how it grew from a medieval village into the second city of the British Empire in the 19th century. We follow a chronological route, through the medieval quarter around the magnificent Glasgow Cathedral, the famous Merchant City, the Victorian centre and the University of Glasgow, one of the oldest English-speaking universities in the world. Along the way, we look at the city’s social, cultural, political and economic life, bringing to life its history and the people who shaped it — many of whom your group will already know!

The tour can be extended with longer stops at particular places, such as Glasgow Cathedral, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum (considered one of the best in Europe) and the modern Riverside Museum on the banks of the River Clyde, dedicated to the city’s industrial and maritime heritage. Alternatively, we can discover more about Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the Scottish architect whose style has influenced generations around the world. The options are endless!
