Tours Worth Taking in Glasgow

Glasgow rewards being shown round by somebody who knows it, because so much of the best of it is behind a door. From distilleries and breweries to grand old buildings, these are the tours worth taking.

Curated and written by Hidden Scotland

Updated 22 September 2026. Across Glasgow.

Glasgow rewards being shown round by somebody who knows it, because so much of the best of it is behind a door. Distilleries and breweries within reach of the centre, grand old buildings you'd never think to walk into, and walks that make sense of how the city was built and why it looks the way it does.

We've gathered our favourite tours in and around Glasgow, from whisky tastings to architecture walks.
