“We had a great group tour with Martin today! It was fun to get out and about on a bike while learning some of Glasgow’s history. I was nervous that we would be riding in traffic but that wasn’t the case at all. We mostly went on bike paths and I felt safe the whole time. There were ample stops/breaks so it felt like exercise but not work. I would recommend!”
