Enjoyed the tour but wasn't aware of the difference there was an in person vs audio version depending on what but you ended up on. Also, the stop we needed to catch out primary bus at was not accessible due to construction and nothing on the website indicated this nor was the stop just up from the location clearly marked. Thankfully, the bus driver stopped to pick up several passengers (our part & another) when waved down. Have had better experiences in other cities.

Great to be able to hop on and off the bus at will. We had excellent live commentary from your guide on the first day which gave an extra dimension to the tour. Have done the tours in many UK cities and would certainly book when visiting somewhere new.

Unfortunately many of the items/stops i REALLY wanted to see were unavailable for various reasons. I have been on the Glasgow HOHO previous and aside from some closures, it's always good value for money. Staff are helpful, thorough and pleasant. If I had know, I would have purchased a 48 hour ticket The audio was easy to hear and understand and gave lots of details and info about the sites of Glasgow.

I went with a friend from Australia and we both enjoyed the experience. The guide was very good and very informative. Although I live in Glasgow there was lots of history I was unfamiliar with. I would recommend the tour.
