Good museums tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 3 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Spend about two hours at Glasgow’s Hampden Park, beginning with a one-hour guided stadium tour led by a host such as Arthur, George or Tom Kelly. Walk through the tunnel, visit dressing rooms and try a shot at goal, then explore the Scottish Football Museum at your own pace.
“It was a lovely experience getting to walk through the tunnel and very informative. It was a bit pricey for what it was though.”
Spend about two hours at Scotland’s national football stadium and the Scottish Football Museum. Your English-speaking guide leads you through the changing rooms, tunnels, cup presentation area, and stadium spaces, with time for photos and interactive football activities.
“Great way to learn about the history of football in Scotland and see behind the scenes of the stadium”
Visit The King’s Gallery at the Palace of Holyroodhouse with an English multimedia guide and exhibition ticket included. See Royal Collection works in a purpose-built space, from Renaissance drawings by Leonardo and Michelangelo to royal portraits and photographs.
“Great palace, many things to learn about it, there are still royal dinners and weddings happening there, beautiful gallery as well, highly recommend to see the palace”
Pick a loch, a castle or a still house.
