    The bus was an excellent way to get to know where things in the city were and to decide where to get off.

    Unlike Hop on Hop off buses in other cities, you have to prearrange your stop or flag them down to get picked up at a stop. Unfortunately they don’t advertise this so we were left in the rain by the first two buses that came to our stop. However commentary was good and I learned a lot about Glasgow. And the tour operator is absolutely unresponsive if you try to chat about a problem. They just do not answer so don’t waste your time!

  • City of Many Achievements

    Hop on hop off part of my itinerary to any country abroad, pre booked through Viator and easy way to see the city in one day

  • Only do one of two routes

    The bus tour was good. We did the red route in the morning and the yellow route in the afternoon. The yellow route was about 50% repeat of the red route. The second route was pretty boring since it was mostly repeated information. Even the jokes were the same.
