We rarely do bus tours when are in cities however this tour covered a lot of the places we wanted to visit (and had stops within walking distance of other places e.g. Ibrox Stadium). We purchased the two day tickets and were fortunate to have two very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, David and Rob. There is a prerecorded tour available on all buses however having an actual person made the experience even better.
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted the two-day ticket helped you see so much of Glasgow and explore places beyond the tour stops too. We’ll be sure to pass your kind comments on to David and Rob, they’ll be thrilled to know they made your experience even more enjoyable.

We had Jim as our guide and Mark as a driver. Jim was knowledgeable but provided humor and information at the same time. He was a joy to drive with and helped us identify places to visit after the tour. Fun tour

Well worth the money. The buses are modern, the tour is comprehensive. Buses alternate between live guide and prerecorded commentary, both are excellent. Headphones and maps are provided.. All in all, definitely worth doing. 👍

Guide was bad. He didn’t seem to know much, told no stories of interest and was not very accommodating. We liked Howth but did not have time to walk around much.
Dear Elizabeth, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the guide did not meet your expectations and that you felt the tour lacked interesting stories and sufficient support during your visit. We’re pleased that you enjoyed Howth, although we regret that you didn’t have enough time to explore the area as much as you would have liked. We appreciate your comments regarding the guide, as informative, engaging and welcoming service is an important part of the experience. Your feedback will be shared with the relevant team so we can continue working to improve our tours and provide a better experience for our visitors. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and offer you a more enjoyable experience.

Thank you for your lovely review. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the tour, and we’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Anna and Jim.
To ensure EXACTLY where to meet the bus. We thought we did BUT MAJOR construction stopped us . Went to 2 other stops, but both times they passed us by. My husband doesn’t walk long distances due to peripheral neuropathy. It wasn’t easy.
Dear Customer, Thank you for sharing your experience with City Sightseeing Glasgow. We’re very sorry to hear how difficult it was for you to find the correct meeting point, particularly with the major construction works affecting access and considering your husband’s mobility limitations. We understand how frustrating it must have been to reach two different stops and then see the buses pass without being able to board. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as clear and accessible information about our bus stops is especially important when roadworks or construction may affect the usual routes. We’re sorry that your visit to Glasgow was made more difficult than expected, and we hope that on a future visit you’ll have a much smoother experience discovering the city with City Sightseeing. Kind regards, The City Sightseeing Glasgow Team
