DISCOVER THE GLASGOW YOU WON’T FIND IN A GUIDEBOOK

Immerse yourself in a different side to Glasgow on our iconic street art tour, a popular tour for those looking to go off the beaten track.

Forget grand buildings and traditional sightseeing for an hour and a half. This is Glasgow through its walls, a colourful, creative and constantly changing side of the city that’s easy to miss if you don’t know where to look. Follow a local, expert guide through hidden lanes and unexpected corners of the city centre, discovering huge murals, underground graffiti and the stories behind the artists who have transformed Glasgow’s streets.

From world-renowned artists like Smug to local legends like Rogue One, you’ll discover how Glasgow has become one of Europe’s most exciting urban art destinations, and why our street art is constantly changing.

Highlights

  • Glasgow’s biggest murals: stand beneath some of the city’s most impressive works and hear the stories behind them.
  • Hidden street art: wander down lanes and tucked-away corners you might never discover on your own.
  • The artists behind the walls: from internationally recognised names like Smug to Glasgow legends like Rogue One.
  • The story of Glasgow’s street art: discover how the scene has evolved and why the city has embraced it.
  • Graffiti vs street art: explore the difference, and why that distinction matters.
  • A city that keeps changing: see a snapshot of Glasgow’s creative scene today, knowing the walls may look completely different next year.
  • Definite sightings: Honey I Shrunk the Kids, Keeper of Light, The World’s Most Economical Taxi, Bow Down and Honour the Roots, Falling in Love, Butterflies in Her Eyes

Meeting point: at the NCP car park, Mitchell Street

Something a bit different.....love street art stories!

Brilliant afternoon with Tommy exploring Glasgow's Street art. Tommy was really knowledgeable and keen to share his love of the city and the art. It's a really different way to see the city on foot and noticing things I had walked past and never knew the meaning. I was with three friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Only tip is to know more good coffee and cake options after! We found Sorrisa in Merchant City was perfect. Excellent value and recommend highly!

Great way to get a sense of Glasgow

We had a really good time on our Glasgow walking tour. We had a great guide, really friendly, who shared loads of interesting stories about the city, its people and history. We learned loads and got a flavour of the city that we wouldn't have had otherwise. And the walking wasn't strenuous either - my 13 year old didn't complain once!! I wasn't sure before booking onto this tour, but I'd definitely recommend it. And I thought it was very reasonably priced.

Great 90 minute into to Glasgow

Really enjoyed this tour. 90 minutes is a perfect length. Tour was a great intro to Glasgow history and we saw several really nice sites. Trip didn't cover too much distance so we weren't exhausted at the end. Guide was quite funny and was able to answer any questions thrown her way.

A Must–Do of Glasgow

This was a highlight of our visit to Scotland and probably the best walking tour I've ever done. Our guide was not only very knowledgeable about the street art scene in Glasgow, but also really helped us get to know the city in a very engaging way. If you only do one walking tour in Glasgow, make it this one.

A Warm Welcome

We had a fantastic guide who made sure we were all included. From the moment we arrived at the meetup location and she happily waved us over, to ending with the offer of any recommendations for other places to check out, she made this a great day! I knew there were murals in Glasgow, but I feel like they are even more special after hearing some of the stories about the artists and the city. This was one of our first experiences in Scotland, and it definitely helped set the tone for a fantastic visit with a warm and friendly culture
