Amazing way to scout the city and decide for next destination Great value for money worth every pound

I enjoyed being able to see many of the sights in Glasgow from the tour. Being able to hop off & on was nice. The stop at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum was well worth the cost of the tour bus. The museum is beautiful, interesting, has a cafe and extensive gift shop. It is also free! Plan to get on the bus early so that you have time to hop off at Kelvingrove before hopping back on for the rest of the tour.
