Small-group Glasgow whisky pub crawl with River Clyde stories, Scotland’s oldest pub stop, award-winning whisky bar, and a members-only society.

“It was fabulous. Neil was a warm, friendly, knowledgeable and passionate guide who tailored the whisky choices to the tastes of our group. He answered all our questions about whisky, Glasgow history and current events generously. Neil’s approach to whiskey is accessible and not pretentious. It was lovely afternoon and we kinda want to be friends with him now ! Glasgow is a great city and Neil’s tour was a great intro to it and to Scotch! Pro tip: don’t wear a football jersey/colours on this tour; they won’t let you into the bars. This is a “must do” in Glasgow!”

“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.
