A Landmark Day for Glasgow Bike Tours and Walking Experiences
At Gallus Pedals, we love a challenge—and on the weekend, we delivered our largest ever large group tour in Glasgow. 36 guests, split between bike and walking tours, all exploring the city together .
Oh, and it just so happened to be the same day as the Scottish Cup Final (less said about that, the better).
Whether you’re planning a corporate away day, conference breakout, or a team-building event, this format is now our top recommendation for large group tours. Glasgow private walking tours and bike tours can scale up beautifully.
Why a Split Tour Works Brilliantly for Large Groups
No Compromise. Just Two Experiences in One.
We split our 36-person group in two. Half hopped on the bikes for a guided ride along the Clyde, through Finnieston and the West End— this is classic bike tours Glasgow style. The other half took to the streets for a more conversational, cultural private walking tour of Glasgow.
Midway, they swapped. No waiting, no bottlenecks. A great way to experience the city in one afternoon
What Makes This Format Ideal for Large Group Tours
Covers a lot of ground on the bikes and burns a few calories ;)
Encourages natural conversations and team bonding - yeah, we find this type of tour is the perfect 'water cooler' chat
Inclusive by design - accessible walking options for anyone not cycling, so everyone in your group can take part comfortably and confidently.
Fully managed by our expert team - we have plenty of pre tour communication your event delivers on its objectives
A great alternative to passive conference sessions or indoor team days - active, engaging, and environmentally friendly, with zero emissions and a low-impact format that gets your group out in the fresh air!
We knew that having so many guests on tour at the one time is not without risks so it was great to have a great crop of guides ready to deliver the tour, keep guests entertained and perform impromptu puncture repairs! Well done to Donald, Stuart and Lucas!
