This slightly geographically confused American went to George Square, per instruction, but was unaware that there are two bus stops the square. If one boards at the south side stop, as I did, one misses the initial orientation messages and is unaware of precautions and protocol at stops.

Very well organised! We covered both the red and yellow routes, and it was a great way to see the city of Glasgow. Staff were really helpful when we were unsure about anything .Stopped off at the Riverside museum and it was amazing. Recommended

Good overview of the city, then we got off on the places we wanted to explore in more detail. Also took it to the bus terminal when heading to airport.

Enjoyed the Glasgow HOHO bus experience. Lovely entertaining driver on the Red Route ! What would have been helpful is that we were informed that Peoples Palace and Botanical gardens were closed at the start of the journey and then we would have got off at an earlier stop at the Glasgow Cathedral.

I recommend it; it's a great way to get to know the city, and there are two different routes available. The stops are well located. The staff is fantastic. The surprise was having a live guide, very funny!

Found finding you bus stops difficult due to poor signage. Was not told that the rceipt at stop one was in fact the ticket from there on. It was barely legible which added to the problem. Otherwise OK
Lorena

The bus is quite good, but it is not specified when it is live explanation only in English and when it is multilingual. It would be quite nice if it was specified in the timetable and if there were more multilingual buses as the website advertises it in several languages and there are not many buses that do it.
