The meeting point for tours is at the entrance East Undercroft, less than 300 feet (1 minute walk) from the Main Gate on University Avenue. This is beside the Gift Shop and directly next to a diorama of campus. The following Instagram reel shows the route to the meeting point from Hillhead subway station. The reel follows one of our guides as they walk along Byres Road and University Avenue, where a number of buses also stop:  Instagram Reel

The tour is a walking tour and the majority of time will be spent outdoors, so we would always recommend preparing for Scotland’s rather unpredictable weather and perhaps bring a coat or umbrella with you.

If you wish to pay for your tour in advance by credit or debit card, we would recommend coming along slightly earlier Tues-Fri so you can pay by card at the SRC Welcome Point, where you will be given a receipt to hand to the guide at the tour assembly point, just one minute’s walk away. At weekends, tour guides will be able to take your payment by card directly.
We accept Applepay, Mastercard, Visa, but sadly cannot accept American Express. We also cannot accept cheques as payment.

Being of reasonable fitness for the tour is recommended (the tour is generally an hour on your feet) but we will always do our utmost to make a tour as accessible as possible to those who may have reduced mobility, with the majority of the tour route wheelchair accessible (we’ll adjust the route as needed). Assistance dogs are also permitted in all areas of the University.

On the tour, our guides will be happy to take a break to let you get your breath back, take photos or ask questions.
