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.

Great to be able to hop on and off the bus at will. We had excellent live commentary from your guide on the first day which gave an extra dimension to the tour. Have done the tours in many UK cities and would certainly book when visiting somewhere new.

Unfortunately many of the items/stops i REALLY wanted to see were unavailable for various reasons. I have been on the Glasgow HOHO previous and aside from some closures, it's always good value for money. Staff are helpful, thorough and pleasant. If I had know, I would have purchased a 48 hour ticket The audio was easy to hear and understand and gave lots of details and info about the sites of Glasgow.

I went with a friend from Australia and we both enjoyed the experience. The guide was very good and very informative. Although I live in Glasgow there was lots of history I was unfamiliar with. I would recommend the tour.

Used the Red tour for our 3 days in Glasgow. We experienced great drivers and very helpful with directions to walking locations / directions. Even got to see a wedding at The Cathedral Came from the states. Highly recommend

Friendly staff, entertaining guides, relaxed getting on and off experience. Good route. Guidance on how to find the right bus (yellow or red, with or without live guide) could have been clearer, both on the website and in the leaflets as on the buses and at bus stops. Distinguishing between red and yellow line could have been clearer on the website. Same for how to book for a second day with a discount.
