With Stuart's Bicycle Tours you will take a journey through Glasgow's historic and folkloric past to its vibrant and modern present. A city of stunning architecture, rich varied culture and a birthplace of Scottish ideas.
By using bikes we can start in the city centre and ride to the farther reaches of Scotlands largest city. Utilising its network of bike lanes and quiet roads we can travel through gorgeous green spaces, stunning vistas, architectural wonders and, indeed, time itself.
Starting in the heart of the city we will travel a 12 mile/20km loop visiting a myriad of interesting locations. We will visit well known highlights of the city as well as lesser known points of incredible interest and gain a deeper understanding of what makes Glasgow the wonderful and eclectic place it is today.
We will discuss ancient folklore, local heroes, triumphs, tragedies, art, sport, invention and science. Getting to know each other as well as the city and country that surrounds us.

5.00We are two 60 year old Aussies who just spent a fantastic morning with Stuart. We covered many miles on our e-bikes seeing all aspects of Glasgow. A brilliant insight into its history and other contemporary life. Stuart is a fun guy, mindful of safety and easy to understand 😉 If you can ride a bike, don’t hesitate in taking this tour.
Excellent tour. Nice...

5.00Amazing tour ! Stuart knows a lot about Glasgow and Scotland history and makes it interesting and funny. You can really trust him to have a wonderful tour. I'd recommend taking an E-Bike because Glasgow is a bit up and down on hills. Also Stuart gave us a couple advice and adresses to go eat in the city.
Better than expected, and turned us on to this type of tour.

5.00Our 5 person American group included an expert rider, mid-level riders, and two middle-agers that hadn’t been on a bike in 10 years. Stuart was the perfect guide that took as to sooooo many unique, interesting places that we never would have seen at all, or as efficiently. Can’t praise this trip more, it was better than expected. This is the way to see any new city!
For those seeking a broader experience.

5.00So after having just flown in from the USA we joined Stuart for a wonderful ride all around Glasgow. Our charming host introduced us to the beautiful and out of the usual tracks of tourists stories, history, architecture and a healthy dose of Scottish pride. Just what we wanted. Thank you Stuart!!!
Highly recommended for your city trip!

5.00Stuart is a nice guide, who keeps up the momentum during the bike ride, but who shows you a lot of nice places of the city, where you wouldn't otherwise come so quickly. Highly recommended for your city trip!
Exceptional experience
