    Service every 15 minutes. Stops at all the main attractions. Some buses have guides on. Didn't have to wait long to hop back on. Great value. Was on from 0920 to 1630.

  • Fun on the bus in Glasgow

    I really enjoyed the bus tour. I liked the live one better than the audio one in Edinburgh the next day. Jake, the guide, did an excellent job. I think it's a great way to start out in a city for an overview and then you can narrow down choices for additional days. If it's only one day, a great overview. I loved Glasgow.

  • Great way to see the city

    Great way to see the city. Buses were mostly on schedule. Red route had a live tour guide which was awesome to get recommendations of what to see/where to get off and what to do but audio recording also good.

    The red line was great but the yellow line only good if you want to get off at The science centre, Celtic Park or Ibrox
