Brilliant experience! - The best birthday treat! The staff were all so friendly and made it even more special…Nicki was brilliant fun and made the experience even more enjoyable! Lots of laughs! And I thought the banners, balloons and badge were a lovely surprise. The afternoon tea was delicious and I loved seeing some of the sights of Glasgow and to top it off our fabulous driver Jim also lets you get some pictures in his seat! All great fun and would definitely recommend. Really good value for money, something a little different and a lovely way to spend a special occasion with family and friends. Thank you!

A delightful treat down memory lane - Nikki and George were the perfect hosts. The food was excellent and catering for a diabetic with the savoury option was much appreciated. Nikki's patter took us down memory lane. A lovely afternoon out!

Perfect tasty refuge during a rain storm - We wanted to experience the Charles Rennie Mackintosh designs and art work whilst enjoying afternoon tea. The staff were great, such pride as they described Mackintoshes work in the rooms and the city. A much overlooked artist, but what a tea room. Thank you, for your excellent service and your welcome to Glasgow. Three ladies from Newcastle.

A fun yummy treat. - It was a fun thing to do. Staff very nice. Assigned seating on arrival. The bus is an old 1963 Glasgow bus the kind I used to ride to school on, beautifully restored. My daughters and husband are American. The cakes, sandwiches and scones were delicious, a glass of Prosecco was also provided. Unfortunately, the tea was lukewarm at best, and no refills were offered though I think if you asked for more tea, It wouldn't be a problem. The bus toured around the local tourist spots for approx 90 mins, I was impressed how the staff climbed up and down the stairs carrying items as we chugged along on the shuggly bus. (skill needed to drive this thing). You could sit in driver's seat if you wanted when we stopped at the transport museum for toilet break. would do it again but bring my own flask of tea. They also do this in Edinburgh,
