Highlights

We're specialists in small sized group tours - we make locals feel like tourists and tourists feel like locals. We are a local tour company specializing in sharing the rich social history of some of the city's most iconic spots. We use fully refurbished ex Royal Mail bikes, and all are named after (often not so) famous Glaswegian women and aim to make all our guests appreciate the city as much as we do. Our routes are safe and take in beautiful parks, rivers and utilize Glasgow's expanding cycle network. If you need an electric bike, please ask us about this as it can often be arranged. Our tours cover the past and contemporary Glasgow, across themes such as history, architecture, culture, and immigration.

About Glasgow

Glasgow is Scotland's largest city, a Victorian port on the Clyde with galleries, live music and red-sandstone terraces, and Loch Lomond close by.

Glasgow grew on the River Clyde through shipbuilding, tobacco and trade, and its Victorian wealth shows in the red sandstone of its terraces, museums and merchant halls. The medieval cathedral, which survived the Reformation intact, stands beside the Necropolis, a hill of Victorian tombs. The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, a red-stone palace, holds Salvador Dalí's Christ of St John of the Cross and a Spitfire hanging in its hall.

Top-ranked sights in Glasgow: Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park, Glasgow Cathedral, George Square.
