Great tour, nice guide
We had a lovely bike tour with the highlights of Glasgow. Our tour guide Martin gave us a lot of background information. Glasgow is a city you need a moment to get used to. It’s a different city than Edinburgh but has its own character and atmosphere. We really enjoyed the ride.
Operator response
Thank you very much for your review Petra. A bike tour gives you an opportunity to really explore different neighbourhoods within a city and you can feel how it changes.

Fabulous Glasgow Biking Tour
Our guide Billy was AMAZING!! So polite, friendly, and helpful. We encountered some difficulty with parking and he went out of his way to assist and was very patient. He provided great facts throughout the well paced tour. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a way to see Glasgow.
Operator response
Thank you for this - we love to problem solve on the spot! ps - usually parking is much more straightforward than what you found on the day of your tour!

Love it and would do it again!
Just finished an ebike tour of Glasgow with Gallus Pedals and I’m still buzzing. The ebikes made the whole experience effortless, even the hills barely registered, so I could actually enjoy the views instead of huffing and puffing up them.
Our guide Billy knew the city inside out, weaving together history, architecture, and a few good local stories along the route. He had a great sense of humor and clearly loves showing people his beloved hometown city. We covered way more ground than I expected for a few hours, hitting spots I never would have found wandering on foot, and the pace felt relaxed rather than rushed thanks to Billy reading the group well.
Equipment was well maintained, the safety briefing was thorough without dragging on, and we had time to test the bikes before the tour begins. If you’re in Glasgow and want a fun, low-effort way to get your bearings and see the city like a local, ask for Billy and book this before your visit.
Operator response
We're delighted you were still buzzing and glad you wrote the review at that time! We do aim to take in one of the finest views in Scotland - this is our 1 hill - but the ebikes mean you don't even notice it (sometimes we walk). Safety is always the first priority however it's only a fraction of the overall experience. Thanks for such an articulate and comprehensive review - it captures exactly the kind of feeling we want our guests to have!

Fun day out in Glasgow
We had a great time wheeling around the West End with Sebastian. He told us great stories and navigated the streets and bike lanes well. I love Glasgow and riding bikes and si this was just the perfect day out for me.
Operator response
Thank you Fiona for your review :) The winter is such an under appreciated time to go out and explore on the bikes. Look us up the next time you guys are in Glasgow!

Glasgow, a city of contrasts, fascinating sights, and diverse scenery, best explored by cycling through its streets.
To be honest, I was not sure what to expect from Glasgow in general, and taking the tour with Martin was an eye opening experience in terms of how awesome Glasgow is. Although it is not a city that is typically beautiful at first glance, like Edinburgh, Glasgow is so much more than what you see at first. This is a city that draws you in with charm and character, a vibrant urban scene, warm people, and architecture that beautifully combines the new with the old. Overall, the vibe of the city is amazing.
We pedaled around a wide area of the city, and I got to see a pretty large part of it. We cycled by the river and crossed the Squinty Bridge, we stopped along the way at The Clydeside Whisky Distillery, we saw the Tall Ship Glenlee, and we popped into the Riverside Museum. We also stopped to see the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, and we cycled to the courtyard of the University of Glasgow, where many prominent figures completed their studies. Martin also took me to Ashton Lane, which is a charming street in the West End of Glasgow.
All in all, as we cycled through the city, I was discovering different layers of this exciting town that I could not imagine being so interesting from so many different perspectives. I highly recommend this tour, and Martin was definitely not just a guide, he was a true local host.
A great way to get to know Glasgow, and on an e-bike it is really easy to move around.
Operator response
