Fun and fizz on the Big Red Bus! - This was a Christmas present from last year and an amazing one it was too! We thoroughly enjoyed the tour of Glasgow with Helen giving us lots of factual information along the way. Afternoon tea was delicious and plenty of it! Lots of options too for additional refreshments once the fizz was finished. Thanks to Jim and Helen for looking after us.

A wonderful way to start Christmas - We had an absolutely wonderful time far better than what we were expecting. The service on board from Danielle was excellent and her patter was hilarious even the young American couple who were on honeymoon were in stitches.the inside of the bus was all tinsel and decorated which gave it a warm Christmas feeling. We will be booking again for next year.

Something different, great experience. - Great to travel on an old bus, brought back old memories. Travelling around the city you get a fantastic view that you don’t get from a car. The afternoon tea was amazing, served by Hellen who was very friendly and informative. While Jim the driver did an excellent job . Thanks to both.

Mackintosh as intended. - I enjoyed a very tasty lunch in beautiful surroundings. It was wonderful to experience the teashop as Mackintosh intended in fine contrast to the museum exhibits and historical houses.

Fun tour and afternoon tea. - We were given a trip on the Red Bus as a Christmas gift and finally got the time to use it this month. The tour start point is close to the east end of George Street so easy to find, about 10 minutes from Queens Street Station. We were welcomed aboard and we had a table upstairs. The food for the tea was already laid out as was the Prosecco! The tour is 1hr 30 minutes and it was pointed out is not an official guided tour of Glasgow, but the lady in charge did point out the main sites with a bit of history and relevant anecdotes. We covered the main sites of historical interest and the more recent buildings of note in central Glasgow and along the River Clyde. We had a brief stop at the Transport. Museum and at this point you can get a photo opportunity sitting in the driver’s cab. The food was great, especially for those with a sweet tooth and the service very friendly. All in all a great treat and a different way to see the city.

Definitely worth going on this tour … - Was on the tour yesterday with mum sister and niece and we had such a lovely time. Both the ladies looking after us were absolutely delightful keeping us topped up with teas coffees and beverages but the best part was how Helen interacted with everyone making us laugh a lot and also giving us information about our city. Was just a wonderful time .. my suggestion would be to make the tour longer 2.5-3hrs. The buss decor was also so pretty and helped create the atmosphere. Would definitely go again maybe to themed one next time x x

Afternoon tea with a difference - Tea with a difference, an excellent time spent on top an old red bus. The afternoon tea was delicious and was enjoyed by everyone. Helen serving was fantastic and helped make an afternoon tea more enjoyable with her humour and getting the while bus singing. Would recommend to everyone.
