Overview

We make locals feel like tourists and tourists feel like locals.

We are a local tour company specialising in sharing the rich social history of some of the city's most iconic spots.

On this tour, we discover some of the hidden gems of Glasgow on our alternative bike tour of the city - and give you the backstory on some spectacular icons.

This unique tour takes you on a journey through the gritty streets of some of Scotland's most interesting and evolving areas. We'll showcase some of our favourite street art along the way and point to examples of the continually emerging but bone fide hipster scene too.

As we explore the area, you'll gain insight into the working-class social history of the East End, learning about the people and events that have shaped this diverse and dynamic community. Whether you're a resident or a first-time visitor, this tour offers a unique perspective on Glasgow and an unforgettable experience (for the right reasons too hopefully!)

Activity itinerary

La Pasionara
  • 5m
The La Pasionaria monument, located in Glasgow, Scotland, is a statue dedicated to Dolores Ibárruri, the Spanish communist leader and political activist who was popularly known as "La Pasionaria" (The Passionflower). The statue depicts Ibárruri in a powerful and determined stance, holding a book and a rose in her hands. It was unveiled in 1979 in the Clyde Walkway, Glasgow, as a symbol of the city's solidarity with the International Brigade which fought against Franco and Fascism during the Spanish Civil War. What's remarkable about this status is that it was unveiled only 4 years after Franco had died and was in the same year that Britain elected Margaret Thatcher. This a good example of Glasgow being out of sync with Westminster consensus and for good reason too!
The Clyde and the Kelvin
We cycle along the cycle paths of both of Glasgow's rivers and if the mood takes us, we stop off at a couple of points along the way
People's Palace and Winter Gardens
  • 5m
The People's Palace in Glasgow is our personal favourite museum in Glasgow! This historic building, which dates back to 1898, is home to a fascinating museum that tells the storey of the ordinary working-class people of Glasgow from 1750 until today. Inside, you'll find exhibits on everything from the city's social and industrial past to its cultural heritage, all presented in a fun and engaging way. There's a fascinating exhibit on some of the city's wealthy individuals who were engaged in industries tied to enslavement. We would have this museum down as a must-see!
Glasgow Green
  • 5m
Glasgow Green is a picturesque park located in the heart of Glasgow, Scotland. It is the oldest public park in the city, with a rich history dating back to the 15th century when Bishop Turnbull gifted the green space to the people of the city. The park features a variety of attractions including the People's Palace (more info below on that) and the old Templeton Carpet Factory. Visitors can also explore the Doulton Fountain, one of the largest terracotta fountains in the world, or take a stroll along the river Clyde, offering a great view of the city. The park is also a popular spot for sports and activities, with facilities for football, hockey, and nearby rowing. Additionally, Glasgow Green is host to several festivals and events throughout the year, making it a lively and fun destination for locals and tourists alike.
Glasgow Women's Library
  • 5m
The Glasgow Women's Library is a museum and resource centre in Glasgow, Scotland that aims to collect, preserve, and promote the education and knowledge of women's lives, histories, and achievements. The library holds a wide range of materials, including books, archives, and artefacts, that document the experiences and contributions of women throughout history. The library also hosts a variety of programmes and events, such as lectures, workshops, and exhibitions, that engage visitors with the material in its collection and promote the study of women's history. The GWL's mission is to promote women’s achievement and to raise awareness of women’s history and it's a place where people can come together to learn, share, and be inspired. It is now the only Accredited Museum dedicated to women’s history in the whole of the UK and a designated ‘Recognised Collection of National Significance.’
Buffalo Bill Statue
  • 5m
The Buffalo Bill statue in Glasgow is a must-see for any wild west enthusiast visiting the city! The statue, located in Dennistoun, depicts the famous American showman William "Buffalo Bill" Cody. The statue was unveiled in 2006 and was commissioned by Regency Homes to mark their new development in the adjacent street - a smart and welcome move! The bronze statue stands tall at over 10 feet, with Buffalo Bill himself sitting confidently on his horse, holding a rifle in one hand and a buffalo horn in the other.
Wellpark Brewery
  • 5m
  • Admission ticket not included
This historic brewery is the perfect destination for all your beer lovers out there. The brewery has been brewing delicious suds since 1885, and it's still going strong today! The brewery is home to the famous Tennent's Lager, a crisp and refreshing beer that has been quenching the thirst of Scotland for over a century. Visitors can take a tour of the brewery to see the brewing process in action, and of course, sample some of the delicious brews. But the tour isn't just about the beer, it's also a chance to learn about the rich history of the brewery and the city of Glasgow itself. The Tennents Wellpark Brewery has been a vital part of the community for over a century, and the tour will give you a glimpse into how it has contributed to the city's culture.
Merchant City
  • 10m
The Merchant City in Glasgow played a significant role in the transatlantic slave trade in the 18th and 19th centuries. The area was a hub for tobacco and sugar merchants, many of whom made their fortunes through enslaved Africans. Many of the merchants who lived and worked in the area were involved in the slave trade, and their wealth helped to finance the development of the city. The area's historic buildings and monuments, including the impressive tobacco lord's townhouses, still stand as a reminder of the city's involvement in the trade.
