The tour gives you a really interesting view of the city and some fascinating history. We had a two-day ticket and felt there was a lot of difference between the drivers. One of them was brilliant and very helpful, the other missed some stops and was quite off-hand.

We took the whole tour first as an orientation and then commenced the hop on/off. That gave us a great introduction to the history and layout of Glasgow. We learned different things from different live guides which was an added plus given that we were not at all familiar with Glasgow previously. Everyone (guides, drivers, and those selling tickets were so helpful, friendly, and polite!

Enjoyed the experience very much. It was a reasonably priced way to explore the highlights of the city. Caroline was an excellent guide - knowledgeable and full of humorous anecdotes. I wish it ran a little later in the day.

Easy to purchase tickets. Easy to hop on and off. Audio guide was clear. However, the live tracker did not match where the buses actually were on the route.

Unfortunately through no fault of yours the heavy rain in Glasgow did not let up so the sight-seeing by hop on/hop was ruined. The driver and guide did their job admirably. We enjoyed the craic even it was sometimes corny.
We would consider using your tours in further cities we visit.
