Glasgow Hop on Off

We had a really nice time set on the bus for a couple of round trips

We were early at the bus stop and the bus didn't came (I'm guessing it was extremely early??), this made us loose the opportunity to enter the cathedral because the next one was too late for last entrance. We lost 40 minutes on a bus stop in cold weather and rain. We only had one day in Glasgow and that is why we decided to do a hop on hop off bus, it was not worth it.

not as comprehensive as...

not as comprehensive as similar ones in other cities, many of the stops were just for hotels, one day would have been more than enough, perhaps better when the live guides were available

No pickup

It was very informative. The bus was clean and comfortable. However we waited about 45 minutes at the stop to be picked up and no bus ever arrived. We finally called a taxi and paid to be taken back to our hotel.

High recommended for seeing the city.

Perfect way to see as much of the city as possible during a short stay. Very informative, interesting and helpful. Greeted by a lovely, friendly lady at the first stop who gave extra advice.
