Overview

Do you want to discover a darker side of Glasgow? You’re in the right place! Explore Glasgow the way you want to, spend quality time with a local, and get a real taste of our beautiful city. With flexible meetings and endpoints, and a dedicated local guide, maximize your time in Glasgow on a private tour. A city well-known for its turbulent past, Glasgow has a lot of secrets. Built by industry, shaped by its working class, and run by gangs operating out of ice cream vans. This 1.5-hour tour with a local guide will take you on a walk in the darker side of Glasgow’s history - some centuries ago, some decades, and some still happening in the city today. From unsolved murders to tales of notorious inmates and Glasgow’s foundations as a city built on the back of slavery, this tour will bring our dark past into light as you discover a different side to this iconic city.

Dark side of the city tour

Published on Nov, 2024

We did the dark side of Glasgow tour with our guide Lauren. It was a fantastic tour with lots of interesting facts about Glasgow that I never knew. I can’t wait to book another one in the daytime.

Highly Recommend This Tour!

We went on a Halloween weekend Dark Side walking tour with Dave, and it was everything I hoped it would be and more. Despite living in Glasgow, I learned loads of new information, was thoroughly entertained and the pace/level of walking was perfect. Dave was really funny, attentive, thorough and friendly. Felt it was great value for money, too. Highly recommend.

The tour was great. Louise was very knowledgeable. She knew where all the bodies were buried and all the stories to go along with them. Highly recommend.
