Traveler reviews
First bus tour
This tour was great. I had gotten into Glasgow late the night before and being tired I booked a ticket online, and picked it up at the cathedral, and rode the circuit. Caroline gave a great overview of the city and it's history. I especially enjoyed the quirky stories. Wilson was a great driver. I admire anyone who can drive a bus on narrow city streets. This was my first bus tour, and I would take another one.
Signage of some stops was not existing.
Some of the stops are at city bus stops and NOT marked at all. We have never seen stops not marked in any other cities. We walked to 3rd stop from our hotel, over 25 min because the first two stops (#10 and 11) were not marked. And because no one else was waiting, the bus did not stop. The buses were very timely, every 15 min. The narration was also good.
A great Scottish journey you should do
If you want a great way to see Glasgow then this is the way. We boarded and bought our tickets at Queen street near the station. The ground crew at the stop , Wilson our Driver and Su our guided just made the experience even more enjoyable. Su was knowledgeable, funny and just a lovely Lass that made the trip around Glasgow amazing. The bus was clean , and welcoming If it’s your first time to Glasgow I’d highly recommend getting yourselves on one of the red buses and start your Scottish journey. If you get Su as your guide there will be so fun banter on the way.
Easy way to see where you want to stop and visit.
The guides were awesome, and very colorful characters!!! Gave great advise, and suggestions! Can't wait to do it again.
