    Good overview of Glasgow
    Michael_W, Apr 2024
    The bike trip provides you with a good overview of Glasgow and shows you other places to visit, which I did later. Martin is a great guide, and the trip was very enjoyable and informative.

    We visited hidden gems of Glasgow that I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. Our guide was very friendly and knew a lot about the city. Loved the tour and three hours just flew by!

    Betty_S, Oct 2023
    This bike trip is a really awesome way to see the highlights and hear the history of Glasgow’s West end! Dominique was a lovely hostess full of fun knowledge, tidbits and back story of the area. The bikes were historically unique but fun and easy to ride for anyone. You ride for a bit, then stop for a bit and hear the history. A nice mix of physical activity and culture learning. The University of Glasgow was a breathtaking highlight of this trip. Note this trip does not go through city center due to traffic, but you see a bunch of awesome sights. Highly recommend!!
    Response from Host, Oct 2023
    Thank you Betty for writing such a lovely review and great to read some of the highlights :)
    Great Bike Tour
    Adam_W, Sep 2023
    Terrific bike ride and got to see many parts of the city that we would of missed. Martin was our guide and was very knowledgeable and made sure everyone was able to keep up. Perfect combination of riding and stopping to hear about certain parts of the city. Would highly recommend.

    Fabulous and interesting:)
    Rochelle_J, Sep 2023
    So much fun! This was an awesome way to see Glasgow, Martin was very informative and knowledgeable. We saw parts of Glasgow we would never have seen otherwise! The cycling wasn’t at all too difficult, plenty of time to take photos and ask questions… 10/10 tour.
    Response from Host, Oct 2023
    Thank you Rochelle! Nice to meet you guys
    Best thing to do in Glasgow!
    Katrina_T, Sep 2023
    What a perfect way to see Glasgow! We drove in from Loch Lomond and straight to Gallus Pedals. Super introduction to Glasgow - both its character today as well as its colorful history. Great stops at the university, museums, botanical gardens, shopping districts - perfect way to get a feel for the layout of the city. Martin was a pleasure to spend time with - knowledgeable, entertaining, well traveled himself and very keen on the city he calls home. Can’t imagine a better way to get to see so many parts of the city. Cool bikes, easy terrain, and no trouble with traffic. Martin also provided a great post-ride summary and links to more detail of the sites he showed us as well as the stories behind them. A Must do in Glasgow ! Thanks Martin!
    Response from Host, Sep 2023
    Thank you very much Katrina - great to meet you guys :) hope the rest of your trip is amazing
    Great bike trip!
    India_R, Aug 2023
    We had a great group tour with Martin today! It was fun to get out and about on a bike while learning some of Glasgow’s history. I was nervous that we would be riding in traffic but that wasn’t the case at all. We mostly went on bike paths and I felt safe the whole time. There were ample stops/breaks so it felt like exercise but not work. I would recommend!
    Response from Host, Aug 2023
    Thank you India! Glad you guys enjoyed it
    Glasgow up close
    Janet_F, Jul 2023
    Martin was a very amiable guide. The wind got the best of the planned tour, but Martin had plan B and C. As we anticipated, we enjoyed the bikes and seeing Glasgow close up. Better to be comfortable on a bike for maximum enjoyment and we are so we did enjoy. Except the wind!
    Response from Host, Jul 2023
    Thank you Janet - we had bad luck with the wind but good luck with the rain :)
    A Definite Must-Do in Glasgow!
    Terry_C, Jun 2023
    We hadn’t originally planned to include this tour in our itinerary, but I’m so glad that we did! Martin is a really nice guy and does an excellent job of explaining some of the history of Glasgow, the architecture of it’s buildings and the background of some it’s most famous residents. The bikes have all been meticulously refurbished and are easy and comfortable to ride. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Glasgow!
    Response from Host, Jun 2023
    Thank you Terry - was lovely to meet you both and really glad that you factored this tour into your packed itinerary! Hope the trip to Scotland was more than worth all the planning and even makes you want to come back!
    A great way to know the real Glasgow!
    Margaret_M, May 2023
    Incredible in depth understanding of the city’s past, now and future, all packaged in a very enjoyable morning of casual cycling. Martin was outstanding.
    Response from Host, May 2023
    Thank you Margaret! Hope the rest of the trip is fantastic

    Malissa_B, Apr 2022
    This was a great tour of Glasgow. The historic & interesting locations are so spread out through the city that a bicycle is definitely the way to go. Martin was an amazing guide with thorough knowledge of the city’s history.
    Response from Host, Apr 2022
    Thanks Malissa - glad you enjoyed it! Look out for us next time you're in Glasgow!

    Flott måte å oppleve Glasgow, kunnskapsrik guide. Flotte POI som var valgt å besøke. Lett å sykle med få bakker.
