Glasgow by bike
Stuart was a great guide. Very fun and engaging and had a lot of banter, also explained some of Glasgow’s history pretty well. I did the non-e-bike tour and it was a prett easy ride

Awesome tour
AMAZING experience. Stuart was lovely. Excellent way to learn about the city and see all corners and hidden gems. We had a fantastic time and even had wonderful weather. We all different types of people and levels of riders on our trip and everyone was accommodated. 10000% recommend.

City by bike is THE BEST!
What a FANTASTIC way to see the highlights of Glasgow! My husband and I were only in Glasgow for a day and wanted some experience to give us some perspective on this city. Stuart was the perfect choice!! Unapologetically Scottish, he was kind, funny and honest. We loved every minute. His e-bikes were well maintained and easy to use. It was far better than walking. I’ve told everyone I can to look him up!

Glasgow cycle tour, Malcolm, Australia
On a sodden afternoon, Stuart's excellent bike tour of outback Glasgow was a joy. We saw sights that most visitors to the city probably don't even know exist. Highly recommended.

E-bike tour of Glasgow
It was cold and somewhat rainy, regardless, this is Scottish weather and we were reasonably prepared for it. Stuart is an excellent guide with a thorough knowledge of Glasgow history. He biked with an iPad of historic photos to show us at various points to compare old and “new.” He took us to many different areas on safe back streets or bike paths. I highly recommend taking an e-bike tour with him.

Nice sporting introduction to Galsgowdoor Stuart
The bike tour of Glasgow with Stuart was also fun and challenging enough for more experienced cyclists. Stuart is a good storyteller with both current and historical knowledge. We got to know the different districts and cycled along the canal in a relaxed way. Coffee done at a Sunday market with local small business owners and watched the recording site of Outlander. If there is one area for improvement, it is that Stuart needs to watch that series better 😜

Windswept and Interesting
Stuart is a brilliant ambassador for his country and city. The cycle tour was outstanding, an excellent mix of the contemporary and historical, sprinkled with unique and personal insights into Glasgow's people and places.

Glasgow bike ride
Stuart is a great tour guide! His knowledge of Glasgow is impressive. He was funny and engaging. We rode all over the city- both the east and west end. Stuart is very considerate of all the cyclists. He gives you a heads-up as to what to expect on the route. Lots of riding which my family liked.
Operator response
Ah thank you so much for your kind words, im so glad you enjoyed the tour, the riding and the company...just as I did!
