Overview

This hop-on hop-off bus tour of Glasgow offers flexible sightseeing on two routes: the Red Route available all year and the Yellow Route operating in high season. The tour lasts about 90 minutes per loop on each route. Passengers can ride for one or two days with unlimited boarding and disembarking at stops near Glasgow’s main sights. The open-top deck provides views of the city’s architecture and landmarks while an audio commentary explains points of interest in multiple languages. The Red Route includes a live guide from April to September and audio commentary in seven languages with free headphones. The Yellow Route uses electric buses and offers an English audio guide. The Red Route runs from 10am to 4pm with buses every 30 minutes. The Yellow Route operates from 9:45am to 4:15pm during high season (April 4 to September 29) also every 30 minutes. Vouchers for the tour are valid for 12 months from the selected travel date and can be redeemed at any stop. The tour is fully accessible for wheelchair users, with one dedicated space on the lower deck of each bus. Note that the route bypasses George Square due to current road changes, with Stop 1 located on Cathedral Street in front of the Charles Oakley Building functioning as pick-up and drop-off only. Some stops have relocated or are temporarily out of service due to local conditions.
