Traveler reviews
Good view of Glasgow with lots of History
Very educational and good price. Riders may want to choose a bus with headphone tour so that they may hear best and in their own language. Bus on July 1st boarded at alternate stop and better visuals or communication would be helpful. Some of route had adjustments due to roadworks (with 2 stops out of order but adjacent stops very close for backtracking). For this reason we are not sure of entire route for future, but we thoroughly enjoyed the entire ride and decided not to disembark at any point.
Great way to see the sights
A great way to get around some of the key points in Glasgow, just wish I had more than 1 day to go around! I did a fair bit of hopping on and off, and also did a full circuit with one of the actual guides rather than the headphones. This was really fun and informative, so thank you Davey! The buses were quite busy at times, but there was still room to accommodate everyone. There were some access issues which are understandable as some roads are still closed following the recent fire near Central train station, but it wasn’t very clear were stop 1 was at first. Can’t be helped while so much work is going on in the city centre though, and we didn’t seem to get stuck in any major traffic which is a massive plus! My 1 day ticket was £20 and I definitely got my moneys worth.
Hop on hop off tour
Excellent tour, thoroughly enjoyed the commentary as we travelled along with very friendly driver. Would highly recommend the tour.
Not for me
Disappointed. I wanted to learn more about the city of Glasgow, which seemed ordinary to me. I feared missing out on its history, so I took this bus. However, its route was not what I had hoped for as it took us to the outskirts of the city. Headphones allow us to access explanations provided in 7 languages, but between two comments, a deafening music fills our ears when we could just absorb the sounds of the city. I do not recommend this useless experience at 20 pounds.
Good tour
Good tour. Great value for a family. Great music throughout the commentary.
