Loved our second tour of Glasgow with Gallus Pedals! - Last year my husband and I enjoyed a bike tour with Gallus Pedals. This time we brought our boys to Glasgow, and couldn’t think of a better way for them to see the city! We all enjoyed the bike tour despite the rain and wind. Stewart and Sebastian were great guides and so fun to spend the 3+ hours with.

Fun Bike Tour! - This tour is a great complement to the tours offered downtown. While the tours downtown are walking tours and focused on that area, this tour offers an opportunity to explore the western part of the city! It is also fun to ride a bike!

Fantastic tour with Gallus Pedals - Must do activity for anyone who wants to learn about Glasgow's fascinating history and it's post-industrial transformation. A enjoyable cycle along the Clyde, through Kelvingrove park, Kelvingrove museum and the University of Glasgow. Martin was our local guide with lots of great stories who really knows his stuff. Highly recommend during any visit to Glasgow!

Highly recommended - We had a wonderful time when we were in Glasgow touring with Martin. I drove around in a well maintained electric bike. Scheduling a tour was easy and he was very responsive to our reaching out. Martin was highly knowledgeable regarding Scottish/Glasgow history, as well as contemporary life. He showed us a side of glasgow, I don't think we would have seen on our own. It gave us a better appreciation in the city.He was friendly and forthcoming. Unfortunately, it rained and was a bit nasty the day of our tour, However, Martin pursued and made the most of it. We highly recommend

Great way of seeing Glasgow sites! - My partner and I would highly recommend this tour. It's a great way of seeing Glasgow. The bike route is fairly flat made up of mostly bike paths. My favourite parts of the tour were the university and botanical gardens. We wore waterproof trousers and coats however the weather was fairly kind to us. Lots of available toilet stops along the route. Lucas our tour guide was full of interesting facts and stories of Glasgow history.

Fun way to see Glasgow - If you're looking for a fun way to learn about Glasgow, and see the city in a unique way, then this is the tour for you. I recently did a tour with Conor and Martin and had an excellent time. Conor introduced us to some of the jewels of Glasgow, and gave us time to explore some of the museums. You don't need to be a professional cyclist for this tour. The terrain is mostly flat and the e-bike makes this ride a breeze. Now I want an e-bike of my own.
