I wasn't sure what there was to do in Glasgow so this was a great way to see what the city of Glasgow feels they have to offer. I had never done a sightseeing bus as I'm used to arranging my own itinerary but this took the guesswork out of the transportation piece. The narrative was also a nice addition as I learned information I wouldn't have otherwise known. I had heard that these buses were tourist traps and wastes of money but I felt I got very good value for mine and would do it again. The only thing I thought they might do better is indicating where the stops are better as we wandered off the trail one time and didn't want to backtrack to the stop we had left at. Finding the next stop on the map was a bit tricky as the cartoon map was a bit vague as to what side of the intersection the bus came to. Bus drivers were all very friendly and helpful!

What a wonderful day out! Learned so much about Glasgow and found some great places to visit that we didn't know about! The staff & drivers were so lovely and helpful, pointing out stops we should definitely visit. Such good value for money, as you really can get on and off as much as you want!

The number of "stops of interest " very generous. A good timetable and an extra benefit is the long duration of ticket. Thank you

Enjoyed the tour but wasn't aware of the difference there was an in person vs audio version depending on what but you ended up on. Also, the stop we needed to catch out primary bus at was not accessible due to construction and nothing on the website indicated this nor was the stop just up from the location clearly marked. Thankfully, the bus driver stopped to pick up several passengers (our part & another) when waved down. Have had better experiences in other cities.

These tickets are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.
