- Gallery of Modern Art - Discover the hidden history of this landmark building and be introduced to Mother Glasgow, Scotland’s powerhouse, by the self-styled Glasgow Gander.
- Duke of Wellington Statue - See the original cone-wearing commander, and discover the amusing story of this tradition of modern Glasgow at the expense of the Duke of Wellington.
- George Square - Be guided around the symbolic heart of Glasgow, watch for the unpredictable movement of a rooftop ship, and see one of northern Europe’s finest civic buildings, Glasgow City Chambers.
- Trades Hall of Glasgow - Encounter a often-overlooked gem of Georgian Glasgow and hear about a club where pig-like gluttony was encouraged!
- Hutcheson’s Hall - In the shadow of one of the city centre’s most striking buildings, hear the unflinching tale of Glasgow’s growth as a commercial, then industrial city; its decline, renaissance, and the legacy, and ongoing impact, of Mother Glasgow on the world today.
- Trongate - On this ancient thoroughfare, near the 16th century Tron Kirk Steeple, hear the remarkable story of an incredible hidden entertainment venue, in all its glory and grottiness!
- Tolbooth Steeple - Beneath the glorious 17th century Tolbooth Steeple (where the Trongate, the Saltmarket, London Road, the Gallowgate and High Street meet), encounter the eye-popping history of Old Glasgow at its epicentre – Glasgow Cross.
- St. Mungo at High Street - See Glasgow’s most famous son hiding in plain sight: one of the best pieces of street art you’ll ever see.
- Provand’s Lordship - Across from the 15th century Provand’s Lordship (the city’s oldest house) take in four quite special buildings – including a small blue one which is sometimes used for inter-dimensional travel!
- Glasgow Cathedral - Glasgow’s architectural pinnacle – our medieval, Scottish Gothic cathedral, with the dramatic backdrop of Victorian Glasgow’s ‘city of the dead’, the Necropolis, behind. (Depending on COVID restrictions on group size and mask-wearing inside the cathedral, the tour may finish outside the church.)
