    Marten was a great guide....

    Marten was a great guide. He was entertaining and knowledgeable. I really appreciated that he did not shy away from some of the ugly truth behind early Glasgow wealth. He also shared the juxtiposition of the Merchants with the current state of some social issues within Glasgow. The pub was cool. Because I was alone I didn't get to try as many samples, but it was a delight, and Marten tailored it to my tastes. Definitely a little pricey, but I learned quite a bit of new information about the city and it's politics compared with my prior visits to the city.

    Interesting and Super Fun!

    Ian was an amazing tour guide, very knowledgeable of the history of Glasgow. We loved all the interesting facts and Ian’s funny approach. We had a fabulous time with him. The whisky drinking and bar was superb, giving a true Scottish experience. Ian will remember this comment “oink-oink-oink” 🐷🐽🐷 (inside joke).

    Whisky tour

    Marty was wonderful. He was very articulate as 1 of us has hearing difficulties. The information on the walking tour was interesting and well presented. The Whisky tasting was as fun and educational.

    1 Pub Tour

    Luke was a friendly and knowledgeable Scotsman. Though because of the pic we expected a kilt😊. There was a lot of history, which we enjoyed, but as it is a drinking tour felt we should have been at least two pubs. I loved the one pub, it was historic and there was 4 good samples of Scotch. I was expecting more of a pub tour

    Go drinking with a Scotsman in Glasgow: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Glasgow.

    How much does Go drinking with a Scotsman in Glasgow cost?

    +

    Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Glasgow usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Go drinking with a Scotsman in Glasgow take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Glasgow is not rushed.

    Is Go drinking with a Scotsman in Glasgow worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Glasgow, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Go drinking with a Scotsman in Glasgow?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Go drinking with a Scotsman in Glasgow suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Go drinking with a Scotsman in Glasgow?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Glasgow can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Glasgow and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Go drinking with a Scotsman in Glasgow start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Glasgow within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Glasgow?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Glasgow experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Glasgow: Celtic Park Tour & Dine Package, Gander Walking Tours in Glasgow, Glasgow: The Clydeside Distillery Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Glasgow?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Glasgow?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
