If you’ve only got time for one Glasgow sightseeing tour, make it with Gallus Pedals. We’re here to give you the kind of experience that sticks – memorable and full of character (much like the city itself). We leave out the dry facts, the awkward group vibes and replace them with captivating stories, great chat, and a fresh look at the city we love.
Our tours flip the script and ditch the bus. We make visitors feel like locals and let locals see their city like tourists again. Glasgow’s a place worth showing off: bold, creative, and anything but shy! Our guides aren’t walking encyclopaedias; they’re genuine people and born storytellers who’ll go out of their way to make your tour special. And from day one, we’ve aimed to do more than just run great tours - we want to be a force for good,and play our part in the city reaching its true potential.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A GALLUS GLASGOW SIGHTSEEING TOUR...
Whether you’re taking on the city by foot, by bike, or one dram and bite at a time – this is what we aim to deliver on every single tour.
​
-
Connection – We’ll make you feel a deep connection to the place we call home. And to do that we’ve embedded Glasgow into every tiny detail. Our fleet of bikes are all named after (not so) famous Glaswegian women. When your tour is over, you’ll take home a unique life story – written in conjunction with Glasgow Women’s Library.
-
Individuality – Everyone has different values and perspectives. We’ll listen and take on board new ideas while on your tour, so that every experience and itinerary is a little bit different.
-
Fun & friendly – There’s no stuffy greetings or formalities here – first name terms is the Glaswegian – and Gallus - way. By being familiar, open, and friendly with each other, we’ll deliver a more enriching experience for everyone involved.
-
Positive impact – We believe that every business should positively impact the world. From our inception, we worked with the Cycle of Good charity to source bikes from landfill and donate to social enterprises in Africa. We’re sustainable by design, by delivering low-impact tours that all reduce motorised transport, and we partner with sustainable local businesses. To cut waste, we’ve eliminated single-use bottles, promote reusable ones, and adopted a paperless booking and waiver-signing process. We collaborate with charities like Women on Wheels and Mary’s Meals – to help provide over 2,500 school meals in the developing world – as well as supporting Bike for Good.
-
Be Gallus – Gallus is a great Scots and Glaswegian word that means ‘Bold, mischievous or cheeky’. It’s embedded in our nature, to showcase our city in the best way possible. But we’re always pushing to go further. Can we be bolder? Can we try something brand new? Can we take this tour and make it extra Gallus? We’re always open to feedback. So, give it to us!
