2.Ghouls, Ghosts & Gruesome Tales Guided Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 887 reviews · 2 hours · from $22

A spooky-but-funny Glasgow ghost walk through the Cathedral, Necropolis, and graveyards, ending at Babbity Bowster.

“A really engaging and atmospheric tour. The guide was knowledgeable and brought Glasgow’s darker history to life with great storytelling and humour. The route had some genuinely eerie spots and was well paced throughout. It would be even better if we could explore the entire Necropolis together, but overall it was a fun, informative, and memorable experience. Highly recommended.”

My group was a rare case, four Glaswegians and a curious American (that’s me). But what a treat it was, this was definitely a highlight in my trip. And it’s true what they say, People Make Glasgow ❤️”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 448 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $19

Gothic Glasgow at night: a 2-hour walk with actor Vincent, ghost tales, Dracula links, and body-snatching history from King’s Theatre.

“Our host was Vincent who was charming and extremely knowledgeable. The tour lasted 2 hours and we covered quite a large area, however we did stop multiple times to hear a story about an area or building. There were 10 of us in the group, Vincent asked our names and where we had travelled from and created a very friendly atmosphere. The 2 hours flew by and all too quickly we were bidding each other good night. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. A thoroughly enjoyable way to spend an evening.”
