Unfortunately through no fault of yours the heavy rain in Glasgow did not let up so the sight-seeing by hop on/hop was ruined. The driver and guide did their job admirably. We enjoyed the craic even it was sometimes corny. We would consider using your tours in further cities we visit.

This tour was great. We were able to get oriented to the city very quickly. Our driver gave a lot of information about each stop which helped us decide where to hop off. Everyone was courteous and really helpful. I can't recommend this tour strongly enough. It was well worth the cost!!

Both tour guides were very informative. We had a great time on the bus and the stops were near all the right places. We do these tours wherever we go as they are a great way to see a City. Highly recommend!

Luckily, we happened to catch a guided tour with the wonderful Su. She told stories in a lively and funny way, including some about her family. She also pointed out murals and other points of interest we passed along the way and gave us restaurant recommendations. At the end of the tour, she sang a birthday song with all the passengers for a six-year-old girl on board.

Loved this way of seeing the city! So informative and fun and entertaining- our guide sang to us! The highlight, which he recommended, or I would have missed it, was the Salvador Dali painting of Christ on the Cross in Kelvingrove Museum. It moved me to tears. Thank you.

Recommend the tour buses with the live guides. The live guides are entertaining, and people did not want to get off the bus until the whole tour circuit was done! The Riverside transportation museum was definitely the highlight of the tour.

Delve into the city's fascinating industrial heritage and vibrant modern attractions with an unlimited hop-on hop-off bus pass for 1 or 2 days.

With frequent departures every 30 minutes along the Red Route (21 stops) and Yellow Route (24 stops), journey past all essential Glaswegian sights.

Take advantage of the open-top deck of the bus for sweeping panoramic vistas, along with multilingual audio guides describing Glasgow's iconic skyline and hidden gems.

Check out the lush greenery of Kelvingrove Park, George Square’s statues, or gaze up at the majestic Gothic spires of Glasgow Cathedral.

1 or 2-day unlimited hop-on hop-off pass

Like anywhere else, you get a sense of the lay of the land in a new city. Where should you/must you/want to go, and where definitely not. I’ve done plenty of these hop-on/hop-off tours. But I’ve never experienced having to press a button to stop before. That also means you’ll simply be overlooked if you want to hop back on while the bus is moving. 🙈 That ended up meaning a longer walk for me. I think they should make brief stops everywhere and all the time. That’s what you’re paying for, after all.
