Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was the best idea! I do a lot of research on tours before I visit somewhere. And I am so happy that this one lived up to its reviews! I had a wonderful experience, Nick was a lovely tour guide and very knowledgeable. I loved learning about all the historic landmarks and Glasgow culture. They also thoroughly prepared me ahead of time about possible rain!! But don’t let that damper your time if it does, just wear appropriate gear.

Our morning tour with Martin was simply the best!
Touring a city by bike with a knowledgeable guide is the best way to go! Martin knows all of the small side streets and bike paths for a super safe tour. He was an even able to avoid most of the hills!!
Martin is an articulate young man who is passionate about Glasgow and its history. Following his lead, we were treated to beautiful and historical sites we never would have seen had we chosen to walk on our own.
I recommend this fine tour without any reservations at all!

Really nice way to see the city, lovely bikes, super guide. Went to the western part of city - to a lot of spots you wouldn't find on your own. Highly recommendable 👍

Super glad i took up this cycling trip led by Martin fr Gallus! Its my 1st time visiting Glasgow and Martin made me feel so welcome and at home. He took us through many of the landmark buildings, museums, University of Glasgow, street arts and parks! He regales us with interesting stories of monarch, vikings and celebrity like Billy Connely:) Love the experience totally! Highly recommended!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We found this activity on Google, we wanted to deepen our knowledge of the city of Glasgow by optimizing the time available. Why not a bike ride??
Wonderful experience! Martin made us discover hidden corners of the city that we would never have noticed on our own. A beautiful three-hour ride (luckily with a beautiful sun) to discover the city with our postman bikes!!! Highly recommended!!!

Our bike tour with Gallus Pedals was fantastic. We were able to see so much more of Glasgow than we could have imagined.
Martin was knowledgeable, hospitable and patient, throughout the tour. He guided us safely throughout the city, ensuring that our entire family (parent, two teenagers and an 8 year old) was able to stick together.
Our 8 year old son, would have been too small to ride a standard tour bike. Martin was incredibly resourceful and went out of hia way to find him an appropriate bike.
The bikes were comfortable, the pacing was great and our appreciation of Glasgow has grown so much.
