A great way to see Glasgow with a knowledgeable local guide. - We had a great tour on the restored Post Office bikes. Stu, our guide, was friendly, fun and informative. We were lucky to have lovely weather and thoroughly enjoyed riding around on good cycle paths mostly. We would definitely recommend as a great way of seeing Glasgow.

Hidden treasures abound! - My twin and I took this bike tour to see and learn more about Glasgow. The bikes were refurbished old post delivery bikes which we really liked because already there was history. Stu, our guide was efficient in getting all the bikes set up and therefore on our way quickly. He took us to many parts of the city and gave us a brief overview of what we were looking at. The path was easy to slightly moderate with only a couple of small hills to peddle up. One place stuck out as being a real Glasgow treasure with few tourist enjoying, the Viking and Celtic Stones at Govan Old. It was amazing to learn of the early history of the Kingdom of Strathclyde. The second treasure was the University of Glasgow. We went after the bike tour just to explore the history behind this prestigious University. In true Scotland fashion the weather did not disappoint. We has some clouds, rain, sun, and wind to make it a fun tour. We would definitely recommend taking this bike tour.

Charming and insightful - Charming tour revealing insights to the historical significance, evolution and hidden beauty of Glasgow delivered with passion and deep knowledge. I had no idea Glasgow was so important and lovely, with such varied art and fantastic landmarks across the riverside…. although I guess we got some luck with the weather as it only rained once. 😊☀️🌦️

Great Glasgow bike tour! - The guide, born and raised in Glasgow, had information and a story for about every building. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The route was as scenic as it gets in Glasgow with plenty of stops. A fantastic way to see Glasgow. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended - Our bike tour was led by Martin and we had a lot of fun on our tour. Next to the old waterfront district on the River Clyde we visited some museums and a pub. Martin had many interesting and funny things to say about his hometown and we would highly recommend a bike trip with him and Gallus.

Amazing ride and way to learn about Glasgow - Fantastic tour with very knowledgeable guide! We dove into Glasgow’s shipbuilding and industrial past, visited a distillery, explored the transport museum, and cruised through the stunning Glasgow University campus. The e-bikes made the ride smooth and fun. It was not too hilly but still a good 6 mile ride. Definitely worth doing if you have time in Glasgow.

In Scotland you might get wet and if you do just make the best of it ;0) - Connor was a great guide and made it fun with the stops provided along the way. He had interesting stories and knew a lot about the areas we were going through. Thanks for the snacks at the museum and the time to dry out a bit.
