    Found this private tour company on TripAdvisor and they didn't have a single negative review. We…read morecalled them and were warmly greeted by Ian who was also our tour guide that took us all around to places we didn't have any knowledge of. We had limited time and told him of our desires and he was able accommodate us. So fun to see the beautiful parts of Scotland. Next time we need to go for over a week if not 2 weeks. They have a fancy Mercedes van that seats 7 people comfortably. Only 2 of us in our party so we had plenty of space for souvenirs. Highly recommend this private tour to anyone looking to have a totally customized itinerary or a set scheduled 'must see' itinerary. There are so many things to see and do in this beautiful nation (or country?) of the UK.

    We have used Glascotours twice now for 2 weeks each time. It was a joy being on the tour with Ian…read moreSmith, the owner. He is very knowledgeable about his country and will find you anywhere you want to go and see anything you want to see. His vehicle is roomy and very nice and comfortable. He is also an excellent and skilled driver. He takes the time to find out what is available in each area you are interested in and will recommend things for you to do. He also is very conscious of your safety at all times. All in all, I would recommend his tour company to anyone looking for a safe, fun tour in Scotland.

    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.
