The bus was not crowded so i could choose where to sit - downstairs, upstairs under the roof, or outside. I took the ride twice - once in the evening and once in the morning, so i could see the city in different light - that was the advantage of the two day ticket.

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.

The tour was fantastic. We had a live-guide who did an amazing job of entertaining, responding and bring Glasgow alive during the tour. I was planning on getting off at some points, but ended up doing the full circle, just because of the guide and the driver who did an amazing job as well supporting the entertaining and informative program being offered.

Excellent facility to tour the interesting places in Glasgow. Kind and knowledgeable drivers. Seats provided at most bus stops. Buses, inside and out, especially the windows, were spotless. Glasgow is hilly and sprawling so this is a very useful method of getting between locations. Have dropped 1 star as I found every 30 mins a bit too long to wait between buses. I feel 20 mins would be more appropriate.

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

What a wonderful way to see the highlights of Glasgow. Our first guide was very informative and friendly , however, when we had the guide Pauline join the bus, the whole vibe changed. We are visiting from overseas and have been on many tourist buses, but had not come across a "guide" that was all about her and her own voice. Her constant reprimand for talking or taking a phone call was very off putting and changed our favourable experience. It was no way to speak to grown people as if they were in a school playground. Unfortunately this spoiled what had started as a great experience.
