This is a must do trip in Glasgow!

This was a great experience- from start to finish, we had a lovely tour. The weather was not great, but the staff made the trip excellent!! It started with Syra, who gave us advice on the best way of doing things, she is a natural comedienne with a wonderful Glasgow sense of humour- she had us all laughing before we even got on the bus!! When we did get on the bus, we were welcomed by Maureen and Duncan, her commentary was first class!!

Marvellous way to see Glasgow!

This is tour worth taking if you want to see the city highlights and learn some of the history. The driver, Dave, was very funny and engaging. He had everyone on the bus laughing while he told stories. We thoroughly enjoyed the overview and highly recommend it!
