Traveler reviews
No notice cancellation
The company charged my card even though they already knew the service was canceled due to a run for life event scheduled in the city and on the bus route. I was not made aware until I went to their website to get a map of the route.
Disappointed
I booked this bus tour for friends from Netherlands so they could get to see Glasgow sites. I was disappointed from the start with no sound from our ear phones to hear about the city and this happened to alot of people sitting close to us too. Then there was road closures so alot of places we didn't get to see. It definitely didn't feel we got the experience we expected and it was not worth the money won't be doing the tour again.
Seeing Dublin
The hop on hop off bus was the best way to see most of the city. The bus driver was great with additional narrations and jokes.
Good tour, but you better not talk
The tour was fine and very informative. When it stopped at the halfway point, we then got a female guide, I think American, and all she did was repeat over and over for us not to have any conversations because it was distracting to her. Every time someone new got on, she gave her speech again about us not talking at all. To be honest, she was super annoying and it came across as very rude.
Hop on Hop Off Glasgow Bus
There are a lot of stops so it takes a while if you plan to do the entire loop. It's a good way to see the local sites however.
