Had an incredible tour with Martin who took us on a walking tour through Glasgow's city centre along to Glasgow Cathedral. I really enjoyed learning about the city's history and how its working class routes can be found in the smallest details, which only an expert local guide would know. Martin also introduced me to some hidden gems that I will be making a point of going to very soon. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Glasgow/Scotland.

Conor, the guide, was very knowledgeable about Glasgows history and modern day culture and happily answered questions- a cheery tour guide such an enjoyable way to start a stay in Glasgow. I would highly recommend this 5 tour.

Our walking tour with Gallus Pedals was interesting, informative and incredibly fun! We walked and Stuart talked us through the history of landmarks and historical sites. 5 out of 5 stars, will come again for the cycling tour next!
