Having my mornings free in a city not my own, I decided to try this attraction. I got on the bus at Cathedral, near my hotel, £11 for 2 days use. As someone else said, I preferred the live commentary to the recorded one as it was more personal & fun, just depended which bus you were on. I got... More

If you have not been to Glasgow before & would like to know what to see, then this is a must. Starts on George Square opposite Queen Street Train Station. Basically this tour shows you most of what you need to see in Glasgow & lasts for over 2 hours. £11.00 each but ticket lasts for 2 days. Great value. More

Having just returned from Paris and having had the experience of an open top bus tour of the city, my wife and I decided to repeat this on our return to Glasgow - although it was a city we knew well already. We were indeed privileged to have as our Tour Guide Norma and our driver Sam. Her commentary was... More

We booked a family ticket for the bus and even got a discount courtesy of the Herald a few weeks ago. I couldn't access the discount online and emailed the company. They replied with a voucher for me to print and take with me. The driver was 'amused' and hadn't seen one before, but he went out of his way... More

Typical open top tour. Pre-recorded commentary covers all the salient points, visits all the main places you will wish to see. Ticket lasts for two consecutive days, see their website. http://citysightseeingglasgow.co.uk/ More

The tour takes you to all the main tourist attractions in the city and departs every hour during the week, every half hour at weekends. The route has been extended to include the Science Centre, Riverside Museum and Botanic Gardens. It costs £11 for 2 days or £16 for a joint ticket (2 people) the latter gives free entry to... More

We were only in Glasgow for the day, and purchased our tickets for the bus online, the evening before. This way we saved a £1 off each ticket. Thinking on, perhaps I should have waited and asked if they did a day hopper instead, however it was good value and my Daughter who is nearly 10 enjoyed sitting on the... More

We visited Glasgow between Christmas and New Year. Took this tour and it actually had a live Guide Alex who made this tour very enjoyable and informative. As the Alex was so easy to listen to and gave lots of information we did the whole tour and then picked the places we wanted to see the second time around. We... More
