About this activity

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.
