Useless

Trip was cancelled no notice from company as the great Scottish run was on. I understand restrictions were in place so trip had to be cancelled but the run had been advertised for a year that it was on but yet they were still selling tickets for a tour that couldn't possibly operate on that day. No emails from company saying it wasn't on. If I had know we would have done it on Saturday l. Not happy with service

Glasgow hop on/off

With 1/2 hour between busses you need to be selective as to what you stop for. I would suggest the two museums to fill your time.

Great way to see and learn about Glasgow

Enjoyed the bus tour. Much better when I got back on and there was a live woman on a mic doing the tour . Wish I knew her name she was wonderful! Lots of interesting facts about the city. Only got off at cathedral which is a must see there. Only negative is waited a long time for bus to pick me up from there. Live bus tracking doesn’t work. Waited 30 mins at stop for bus to arrive. Great way to get a feel for the city.

Fantastic way to see the city with a fun, informed and singing tour guide

What a great experience and Dave the tour guide was brilliant, funny and in tune! We did find getting to the stop a bit challenging and some clearer from the south of George Square would be useful (particularly with it all being redeveloped). Fantastic experience and I felt i now where to visit in the city when I come back.

Great combination of learning and transportation in Glasgow

Excellent experience. We had a live guide giving information along the route and enjoyed it immensely. This was an awesome combination of transportation to key points of interest and learning a bit of what makes Glasgow the place that it is. Strong value for me as a first/time visitor. Did same thing when we visited Edinburgh.
