Good value for money. Allowed us to take in the whole city whilst learning about its history and culture

We had a brilliant day with our Hop on - Hop off bus tour (red route) Glasgow. We had the last weekend of the “live” guide - Craig - who was hugely knowledgeable, funny, generous and just amazing as a guide. He even got us singing ! Thank you Craig and Mark the driver - so friendly and helpful. Note that live tour guides are not available from 20th October 2025… it’s a recorded tour commentary in lots of languages!

We were lucky enough to get on the guided tour. Mark was our driver and Craig was the tour guide. They were both lovely, friendly and hilarious. Would highly recommend!

Self explanatory. You Hop On at whatever stop you choose. You take a mid-speed trip around the city while a live tour guide tells you about the local sites. You can Hop Off at any of the 20 something stops to explore and Hop back On whenever you choose(will be a bus at a stop every half hour). Good way to get an overview of the city and learn about the locale. Had to remove one star because it was very difficult to interpret the map they have on their site to figure out where the actual stops are.

This was an excellent tour round most of the major places in the city. As a proud native of Glasgow l really enjoyed Luke’s very informative commentary, a mix of information and humour which l thought was pitched absolutely right. Brian was our driver on two of the stages and gave ample time for safe embarking and disembarking.

These tours are perfect for getting around the city and be informed about them city at the same time. The commentaries provide a good level of information about the landmarks you pass. The quality of the audio was surprisingly good. We did both routes and could not fault either.

A great way to spend a day after flying into Glasgow overnight...relaxing and a good way to see the city and decide where to spend more time. Staff were friendly. Unfortunately, we had planned to end our day (and our pass) with one final tour after dinner. We waited at the designated pick up spot where we had caught the bus earlier in the day. Upon seeing the bus further down the street, my husband stepped to the curb and started waving. I did likewise, about 20 feet past him. The driver, who appeared to be engaged in a conversation with someone beside him, drove past and did not pick us up. As it was raining, we did not wish to wait for another bus. I tried contacting the company via the phone numbers provided. One number did not exist. The other was not picked up. I then sent an email and received what clearly was a form response, without acknowlodging our situation, with no solution to the situation. While the tour is excellent, we were vastly disappointed with the customer service (or lack thereof).

We had a good tour guide who communicated well. The problem was that we were not picked up from our last stop, which was the last one of the day, and had to cab it back to our hotel. I contacted support at the time and nobody has gotten back me.

Easy booking and hop on hop off . Live tour guide was great and friendly. Answered any questions you had.

Buses with live commentary were much better than the headsets. If we had the person doing commentary we would have stayed on longer and continued to use the service. We cut our day short.
