~ GLASGOW TOURS ~
If you only have a short time to visit a city, the only thing to do is take a city tour. Glasgow has made it so very easy offering any number of tours by bike, bus and of on foot. How and what you wish to experience is down to your own personal taste, budget, and time available to you. Here’s a taste of what may just be the right fit for you. Remember this year, in the wake of public health restrictions, it is advisable to book your tours early to get the time and date that you want.
At the Kelvingrove Hotel, we pride ourselves on offering comfort, character, and local know-how. One of our favourite recommendations? The Glasgow Central Tours — it’s an unforgettable way to experience Glasgow’s layered history, starting right beneath your feet. Ask our staff for directions and maybe a fun fact or two — we’re full of them!
On a Red Bus Bistro excursion, take a step back in time and enjoy dinner or afternoon tea. Each trip costs £42.50 and takes a leisurely one and a half hours, as you appreciate sites such as Glasgow Cathedral, The Necropolis and so much more. It’s a really enjoyable way to take in Glasgow’s views while receiving delectable food and beverages on a vintage bus.
If you plan on heading to the East end of Glasgow during your stay with us, try and make time for one of the best tours on offer in Glasgow, a tour of Tennent’s brewery. It’s the UK’s biggest beer attraction and offers an immersive experience of the history of this great Scottish beverage!
An unusual yet popular tour, the Necropolis in Glasgow offers walking tours for visitors to who want to learn about the fascinating history of this 37-acre cemetery. Due to limited numbers permitted on each tour, early booking is advised.
