Top Tier Day Out in Glasgow - We hopped on the Red Bus Bistro for a family birthday celebration, and it honestly couldn’t have been better. better If you’re looking for a mix of sightseeing and a proper laugh, this is it. ### **The Highlights:** * **The Vibe:** From the second we stepped on, the **banter** was flying. The staff are brilliant—super friendly, attentive, and they really know how to keep the energy up. * **The Tour:** It’s a fantastic way to see Glasgow’s iconic spots while relaxing with a drink. Even as locals, we saw bits of the city we usually just walk past. * **Birthday Perks:** They made the birthday feel extra special. It’s the perfect setting for a group—intimate enough to chat, but lively enough to feel like a real occasion. > **Verdict:** A "fab day" is an understatement. Great food, even better company, and the best way to tour the Dear Green Place. **Highly recommend!** >

Do yourself a favour and book it! - Loved it! From the minute we stepped on George & Nicki had the patter going and making everyone feel welcome. First class service - driver, baker, hostess, entertainer, tour guide, bar staff - they had it all going on. If I had to change one thing it would be more pieces and less cake. I'm sure I had a sugar rush the rest of the day 🤣

Great Day On The Red Bus - Myself and my wife went on the tour recently as a Christmas present. What a great day with George the driver and Nicky our host. George took the time before we left to speak to all on the bus and Nicky was informative, witty and generally a great host. The afternoon tea was very good along with the prosecco. I would recommend this tour to any couple or family group.

afternoon tea - it was fun, however the lady commenting during the trip had locals sitting close to her so their jokes and comments were not understood by everyone so leaving people to question what was the topic since we were left out of the conversation.

Good fun but for the money, I expected more from the food - Good fun, nice selection of cakes. Bit mean on portion sizes for the cost: think they could stretch to a full sandwich (4 triangles) per adult and a larger glass of Prosecco. Tea and coffee serving was good. Table 1 isn’t very good as can’t sit with legs under the table and charging £25 for a bottle of Prosecco is far too much. Tour is good, staff lovely

One cheek on one cheek off - Hi. I highly recommend the tour guide who was hilarious and made our day. The rest was sadly disappointing. The sandwiches were bland and stale. We sat at the front of the bus. There was no room to move. Very cramped. I was sitting on the outside and so was the lady opposite me. We both said one cheek on. One cheek of at the same time. We were hanging of the side of the narrow seat. I was so looking forward to the experience but it was so uncomfortable crammed in and the afternoon tea sandwiches were so disappointing.
