“Fantastic time on this tour. Our guide Madeline was fantastic. Was a very small tour at the time and she kept us entertained. I enjoyed the whiskey tasting, I now know Napier is my favourite Glasgow distilled whiskey. As a Glaswegian I enjoyed learning our history and supporting a local venture that is trying to bring whiskey back to the heart of Glasgow.”

Review of a small-group Glasgow tour covering Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond, a Highland walk, and Glengoyne whisky.

“Had the best day on what ended up being an unexpected private tour due to us being the only ones to book today. John, our guide, was easily one of the best we’ve ever had. He was super knowledgeable, funny and genuinely made the whole experience amazing. We started at Stirling Castle, explored the nearby graveyard, and learned so much about Scotland’s history! Then we went to Loch Lomond, taking a scenic detour through the countryside due to a road closure. John hiked with us all the way to the viewpoints, which were absolutely stunning. We ended the day with a whiskey tour (with more great guides) and tasting at…”

“Sergio took really good care of us. Gave us useful tips and valuable information. You would think that visiting 3 distilleries would be an overkill but they were all different. In my country we say same same but different - and that is good.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 10 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $177

Explore Glasgow by electric bike, from shipbuilding landmarks to the West End, then tour Clydeside Distillery and taste whisky.

“This E-bike tour of Glasgow including Whisky tasting was a highlight of my recent visit to Scotland. My guide, Martin, from Gallus Pedals is great fun and full of knowledge and background insights into Glasgow past and present. We covered a lot of ground from the very gentrified West-side with Glasgow University and the beautiful River Kelvin precinct , along Clydebank with its shipbuilding history and modern entertainments through to the grittier industrial background of the east-side. To finish off we dropped in for an informative look at whisky production and a few wee-drams at the Clydeside Distillery. As an e-bike was provided, pedalling up hills was easy for an…”

Review of a private Glasgow tour to Stirling Castle, Wallace Monument, Falkirk Wheel, the Kelpies, and Rosebank Distillery.

The Falkirk wheel was an amazing feat of engineering which we appreciated and the Kelpies were incredible. Stirling castle was absolutely amazing and the history was of interest to us both.
