It was a great experience to take our american cousins on one of your hop on hop off buses for a very informative tour of Glasgow yesterday . We live in Glasgow and we thought we knew our city well . But we learned a lot . Our American cousins were amazed and delighted to discover Glasgow thanks to the knowledgeable explanations given by your guide, throughout the tour of the city. Thank you . It was an excellent introduction to the history and the life of our great city

I had a great day on the hop on hop off bus. On boarding at Motel One, I couldn't find my online tickets. Panic! Andreas was such a star. I knew that the money had gone out of my bank, so he screenshot the page and let us travel on zero tickets. So very grateful to him. Visited the Riverside Museum which we didn't know about beforehand and loved it. All in all, a fantastic day thank you.

Getting to learn about Glasgow with your knowledable staff was a great experience. We loved the route we chose (Red Line) and scheduling intervals of the buses allowed us plenty of time to 'hop off', see sites, get right back on. Kudos to the live commentators... one in particular was a comedic gem !! He had us laughing until my side hurt. (apologies, I forgot his name)

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.

Easy to reach stops. Good information about the sights at the individual stops. Very good description of the sights and the history of the various sights. We took the Red Line and also had a very helpful bus driver.

You never felt rushed. Everything was at your own pace. Bus drivers were excellent. Special mention to Stewart and Louise. Joanne did well never flustered while we stopped for about 5 minutes due to someone hitting the bus.No one hurt only a wee scuff on the bus. Riverside museum, Botanic gardens dine yesterday
