Billy Connolly tour- Glasgow 850 - A very informative yet relaxed tour . The guide had done his research and presented the Billy Connolly tour with photographs as well as audio and video clips.

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. 😊☀️🌦️
