Discover the darker side of Glasgow on this 1.5-hour walking tour with a local guide. Known for its turbulent past, Glasgow holds secrets shaped by industry, working-class life, and even gangs operating from ice-cream vans. This tour takes you through the city’s shadowed history—some events centuries old, others more recent, and some still unfolding today.
Hear chilling stories of unsolved murders, notorious inmates, and Glasgow’s foundations built on the back of slavery. This tour shines a light on the city’s hidden past, revealing a side of Glasgow few ever see. For the best experience, we recommend taking the tour in the evening, though late-night tours on Saturdays are unavailable due to busy nightlife in the area.

Really enjoyed this tour. Very informative and interesting. The guide was happy to answer any questions we had. I definitely recommend this to locals and visitors.
We did the Street Art tour with guide Gabe, who was excellent. It was interesting enough that even some bitter weather wasn’t enough to deter us. Reasonably priced and a good length at 90 mins, this tour is a great way to get a different and unique view of Glasgow.
Louise was fabulous, so knowledgeable and her passion and love for Glasgow shone through. Have recommended already to friends and family.
Highly recommend the street art walking tour with Tommy. Entertaining and educational. Tommy has a lovely manner. Saw bits of Glasgow I had never seen before despite having lived here. Don’t hesitate…sign up!
Excellent street art tour with David, he was a wealth of knowledge and the extra insight into the pieces and artists made it all worthwhile. Would highly recommend this tour to learn more about the city and the art that graces the walls. Cheers for the tour David.
Gabriel did a great job! The tour was very interesting and fun. We thoroughly enjoyed it! Gabriel also recommended a terrific restaurant for after the tour - we went and the food and service were outstanding. No notes.
Gabriel was fantastic!
What a great tour! We had Katrina and she was very funny and passionate. She was so kind and answered many of our questions! It was a beautiful day and we hadn’t toured this side of Glasgow yet, so it was exciting to explore. Highly recommend booking this! I’ll never forget “the bird, the bell, the tree and the fish!”
Very knowledgable people and kind
Louise was great! Lovely tour guide who was very knowledgeable and personal. Highly recommended the tour.
