Fabulous way to get a sense of Glasgow. Our family included kids ages 11-17 who enjoyed the e-bikes while us adults had the regular bikes and all made the trek in good spiritsit was the perfect length although we were quite famished for lunch by the end. Billy really made the tour showing us why People Make Glasgow. We came back to our rental regaling stories for the elders who didnt do the tour so they too could benefit from Billys story telling about his country. Book this touryour family wont regret it!

Billy was a brilliant local guide. He gave us so much useful information and fun facts, took us into the transport museum and showed us so many great sights. Weve been on loads of bike tours but this one is definitely up there as one of the best one as weve been on. Billy is a great ambassador for this tour company. Id recommend to anyone (and I dont give many excellent reviews)

With our guide Billy sightseeing Glasgow was amazing. Lots of great storys about the history of typical Glasgow things told with Scottish humor and a bit of cheacky bravery ;-). We had a normal (non electric) bike and that was fine. Only one heavier hill. We love this way of sightseeing!

Best thing to do in Glasgow! Thoroughly enjoyed this bike tour with Martin. Glasgow is an extremely bike- friendly city so we were on lovely wide bike paths most of the time. Martin is a proud Glaswegian and makes the tour truly "gallus". (Take the tour to understand this). The route follows riversides, crossing the Clyde to visit AMAZING ancient Viking tombstones and explores different neighbourhoods of the west end. We also got to visit inside the Riverside Museum and up to and inside the Harry Potter-esque old university. A visit to a distillery to try two types of whisky. On this tour, we were able to go to places the bus tours can't get to and we covered distances impossible to do on foot in just a few hours. Must also mention the super-cool repurposed old post-office bikes, all named after famous Glaswegian women whose stories Martin weaved into the tour. Super- interesting and fun way to discover this amazing city. Highly recommend! I will definitely be back.
