    As a local, I've actually done the tour bus a few times with visitors from Australia and think it's…read morea good way of getting an overview of Glasgow and showing people the sights. As Jody B was in Glasgow for the day, I thought this was the best way of seeing everything with the added bonus of being able to hop off to go drinking in the West End. Buses depart from George Square (but I believe you can get on at any of the stops) and it takes about 1 hour 20 minutes to do a full loop of the tour - taking in some of Merchant City & the East End, the river and the West End. It's £14 per adult (you can save a measly £1 if you book online) which I think is a little steep actually - it was better value when that ticket got you two days of entertainment. There's commentary as you go around - I thought our guide was just "ok" - some of the pubs he pointed out as recommendations aren't places I'd recommend anyone go, let alone a tourist to Glasgow and sometimes he'd forget what he was saying and just trail off. It was kind of entertaining, but compared to other guides I've had on the bus previously, this guy was just average. We stayed on the bus until Kelvingrove and then got off to wander around the museum and then go drinking in Finnieston. It's a good way of seeing Glasgow but like I said earlier, I'm not sure that's worth £14 per adult. Maybe we should've just had a taxi drive us around.

    **Terrible Experience with Sightseeing Hop-On Bus in Glasgow - Avoid at All Costs!**…read more I purchased two 2-day tickets for the Sightseeing Hop-On Bus in Glasgow for August 2-3, 2025, expecting a smooth and enjoyable tour of the city. Instead, I was met with **unprofessionalism, dishonesty, and a complete waste of time and money**. On August 3, I planned to take the **Yellow Route**, but guess what? **The bus never showed up!** There was **no notice, no warning, no apology**--just complete silence from the company. I stood at the **"Celtic" stadium stop** for **over an hour in scorching heat**, waiting for a bus that never arrived. Eventually, I had to **spend extra money on a taxi** just to get to the city centre. Because of this **shocking lack of service**, I **missed out on key tourist attractions** I had planned to visit. I **flew all the way to the UK**, paid for hotels, and invested time and money into this trip, only to have my plans ruined by this **unreliable company**. The **moral distress** of being stranded without explanation is just the icing on the cake. **Save your money and your sanity--DO NOT book with this company!** Zero stars if I could.

    If you have the opportunity to go on a 4 day tour of the highlands, Please do it with discover…read moreScotland tours. Not only do they do their best to follow the itinerary, but they do their best to take into consideration what other things people wish to see. (I got to feed the highland coos and my friend got to go to lean to coffee) If you also had any questions regarding luggage size or about the stops, they were really quick to respond despite the time difference (8 hours from LA to Scotland) The tour max is 16 people and they run regardless if it's less than 16. The seats were very comfortable and there was a complimentary charging station in the seats near the window. My tour group was small (10 people in total) and they are all friendly and nice! Now the major factor in the tour is the unpredictable weather of Scotland. In my tour, it rained most of the trip, but the driver Chris was very strategic and re-arranged the itinerary to ensure we had the best possible experience at every stop we made. He was also very knowledgeable and gave fun facts and history bits. He even drove safely and always stopped to let the sheep cross the road. Some notable stops: - Quirang -I pretended I was a weather lady reporting the windy conditions - Broadford - I found lots of British exclusive chocolate and I had a big pile I took back on the bus - Fairy pools - an epic 2 hour hike with a bunch of rain - Loch Lomond - this went on for miles and miles and it was beautiful and blue - Sheep - lots of sheep everywhere - Dunvegan Castle - has a beautiful garden Overall, if you want an epic tour of the highlands do the 4 day and ensure that Chris is your driver!

I guess I now know why their buses are never full.The driver didn't stop at a few sites that we were supposed to see. He kept pulling over to let every single car pass him. It was almost like he could care less of what we saw or didn't see he just wanted to get this done and over with.This was the worst tour experience I've ever had. Then I contacted the company for a partial refund and they refused. They gave me all kinds of excuses. Along with the driver lying saying, there were no places to pull over, which was a big, fat lie. There was plenty of spots for him to pull over. He just had no interest.What bad business?

No response for literally 5 months. They responded finally and said that was fine. There was an additional charge-we understood that. They did not ask for payment. Now we are there, literally in Oban the day before our tour. We were supposed to get details about the trip emailed to us, including our ferry tickets. Nothing. We went to the store front (after a days drive to get there). It was closed. Now what? We got up early and walked in the rain to go to the shop. The person behind the counter said "oh ya, I know about that one." We had emailed them asking what the status was-again no response. They hadn't sent us the email because we owed them the balance. Could they not have contacted us to share that info? We live in the US, so calling would have been very expensive. We paid the balance and ran to get on the boat. Better communication please! The tour itself was lovely, but it was stressful in the planning stages.

A lot of people miss or forget facilities that are available to them, here there is use of free toilets and there is a bag drop of where you can leave your bags here for an hour or two, only costing £1 per bag, train station charges £3 for one hour for a small locker. You couldn't get staff any nicer here, I've always found them very helpful and polite, the office is ideally located at the sea front where all the shops are, and only a few minutes walk to the ferry terminal. The bus stop for the city link bus to glasgow is right outside.
