UNIVERSITIES
Conor has called Glasgow home for over 13 years after arriving to study drama and quickly falling for both the city — and a Scottish woman. With a background as an actor and cellist, he brings natural storytelling, warmth and presence to every tour. Conor loves uncovering new details and surprising stories about Glasgow, then sharing them in a way that feels lively, personal and memorable. His style blends performance with genuine conversation, helping guests feel connected to the city — and often inspired to return again.

WHISKY TOURS
Stuart brings a fun, relaxed energy to every tour, with a genuine passion for helping guests create great memories in Glasgow. Originally from nearby Hamilton, he’s lived in the city since 2021 and loves its people, humour, and lively culture. From gigs and comedy nights to Kelvingrove, The Barras and the Necropolis, he knows how to show guests the city’s character. Having travelled across five continents, Stuart often takes inspiration from great tours he’s experienced around the world — and brings that same spirit to every day out.

WEST END
Originally from Sweden, Ollie moved to Glasgow from London two years ago and quickly developed a deep appreciation for the city’s humour, character, and everyday life. Alongside guiding, he lectures in drama, performs professionally in France, and somehow also finds time to work as a lollipop man in Cardonald — which probably tells you everything you need to know about his personality. A professionally trained clown with a sharp eye for human connection, Ollie brings warmth, creativity and a wonderfully different perspective to every tour experience.

Sebastian has called Glasgow home for the past decade, arriving for college and staying for the city’s energy, warmth, and sense of adventure. His guiding style is flexible, engaging, and shaped around the interests of each group, creating experiences that feel personal rather than scripted. He loves sharing Glasgow’s architecture, resilience, culture and connection to the Highlands, with a special soft spot for the Southside’s green spaces, restaurants and music scene. A natural host, Sebastian brings curiosity, humour and a welcoming spirit to every tour.

STORYTELLING
Donald first came to Glasgow to study and quickly fell in love with the city’s music, energy, and sense of humour. A passionate fan of traditional Scottish music, he loves that you can stumble into world-class trad sessions in Glasgow pubs any night of the week. Having lived in Senegal, Kenya and Japan — and previously worked as an English teacher in Senegal — Donald brings a thoughtful, global perspective to his tours. His guiding style is laid-back, conversational and tailored to the interests of each group, with plenty of stories, laughs and local insight along the way.

CULTURE
Michael has spent most of his life in Glasgow, apart from a period studying in Edinburgh and several years travelling across Europe and the Americas before returning home in 2024. He loves the city’s mix of cultures, music, art and personalities — describing Glasgow as a true melting pot with a character all of its own. Having worked as everything from a baker and filmmaker to a bartender, vegan chef and carer, Michael brings a broad life experience and curiosity to every tour. Friendly, relatable and relaxed in his approach, he loves helping guests connect with the city through stories, conversation and the hidden threads that tie Glasgow’s past and present together.

CULTURE
Martin is the founder of Gallus Pedals and the driving force behind its story-led approach to exploring Glasgow and Scotland. After years working internationally, he returned home with a simple idea — that the best way to experience a place is through its people and their stories. What started with a small fleet of refurbished post office bikes has grown into a collection of experiences designed to help guests connect more deeply with Glasgow, its culture, and the wider landscapes of Scotland. Martin occasionally leads private tours and special multi-day experiences, bringing his own mix of storytelling, humour and local insight to the journey.
