What I particularly liked about this tour was that you get a good sense of the whole city in a relatively short amount of time. You get to see a little bit of everything—different neighborhoods, landmarks, and interesting spots—and can then decide what you’d like to explore in more detail. For me, it was a great way to get to know Glasgow and get an initial overview of the city. 😊🚌

The drivers and guides were always so helpful with directions of how to get to where we wanted to go once we hoped off! And the guides really knew their stuff and were quite entertaining in the delivery of their info! Highly recommend!

While this is my first time in Glasgow, i had been hearing about it for 40 years from my wife and in-laws. The hop-on-hop-off tour with Jim as our guide brought everything to life. Not only did the tour take us to all of the highlights at which Jim gave us history, insight and some humourous stories, but all along the way between stops he answered questions, gave us more history and information, pointed out other points of interest but also added personal stories that really made the tour special. What a fantastic time and what a fantastic way to see the city!!

Craig and Stevie without doubt made our trip!! I have used the Hop on Hop off buses in many cities but the Glasgow tours were the best! Craig is hilarious and we enjoyed every second. He had the whole bus laughing and joining in with him. The recorded information was also very good. We used the buses a lot on both days and they are without doubt great value for money.

Jim was a fantastic guide, with an excellent commentary, and some great 'dad' jokes. The driver did a great job, but I don't remember his name. Something foreign beginning with 'A'.

The transport museum, the running commentary on the bus system was great, the one bus we took had a tour guide on board, was better as little unknown facts was far better than the auto system

The live tour at Bud will be led by Perdon, rather than via headphones as usual.
