Great way to see entire city. The information provided through the headphones was very useful. Would definitely do this again, but preferably when it is not raining.

We were on a tight schedule and unable to exit the bus.sadly the route took 1 hour 45 minutes and we almost missed our connection back to the ship. Allow extra time.

There are two routes, red and yellow, you can do both, the yellow one takes you past the two football grounds. Plenty of stops, and well worth the price to get around the city, I recommend to have some waterproof clothing for when it rains if you are on top, though there is a small area that is covered. Keep your ticket, as if you travel to Edinburgh you will get 10% off on the same company in that city.

The signs for where you get picked up are small and below the regular bus sign. The Hop on Hop Off is red.

The hop on hop off bus in Glashow was a great way to see and learn about a city we were not familiar with. After riding the whole loop, we were able to choose the sites we wanted to revisit.
