Designed especially for a small group, this intimate excursion offers a refined introduction to Glasgow's celebrated Art Nouveau heritage and the enduring legacy of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, one of Britain's most influential architects of the early 20th century.
Transfer by coach into the heart of Glasgow to the Hunterian Art Gallery, home to the meticulously reconstructed Mackintosh House. Here, you'll step inside the architect's former home for a private tour, gaining a rare insight into Mackintosh's innovative interiors, experimental use of space, and distinctive approach to modern design.
Queen's Cross is Scotland's only church designed entirely by Mackintosh. This historic building reflects his early architectural vision, with thoughtful attention to proportion, symbolism, and light, creating a calm and contemplative setting steeped in history.
Relax on a panoramic drive past the iconic Glasgow School of Art (one of Mackintosh's most influential works) en route to the legendary Willow Tea Room. Designed by Mackintosh and his wife Margaret Macdonald in 1903, this celebrated venue was the social hub of Edwardian Glasgow. A traditional afternoon tea is served here, before returning to the pier in Greenock.
