City Sightseeing Glasgow is launching a new yellow tour route from May 17.
Currently offering open top bus rides around the city's attractions, the added itinerary will take visitors through 19 destinations including Tennent's Brewery, Barrowlands, Celtic Park and Emirates Stadium, Tramway, Pollock Park, the Burrell Collection, House for an Art Lover, Ibrox and Glasgow Science Centre.
The yellow route will originate from North Hanover Street near George Square and is set to operate as a summer tour until September, running seven days a week from 10am to 4pm every 30 minutes.
The tour lasts up to one hour and 30 minutes.
Combo tickets will be available for guests for both red and yellow routes, connecting at several points including George Sq and North Hanover St, Merchant City, Barras, St Enoch, Oswald St for Central Station and Buchanan Bus Station.
Richy Graham, operations manager at City Sightseeing Glasgow, said: "Our hop-on-hop-off tours are a great way to explore the city at your own pace.
"Whether you want to learn more about Glasgow’s industrial heritage, diverse culture, music scene, sports venues or art collections, there is something for everyone on our tour."
The commentary for the yellow route is being penned by Sabrina Allison, managing director at Discover Glasgow.
She said: "The East End, Southside and Govan have so much to offer to round out the heart and history of Glasgow, it's a perfect time for this new tour.
"After gathering stories from interesting people around Glasgow and digging under the surface, I'm excited to share this new picture of Glasgow with locals and visitors alike on the new yellow tour.”
City Sightseeing will also launch 10 new electric buses to its red route this summer.
Stewart McDonald MP for Glasgow South said: “This exciting addition promises not only to showcase the rich tapestry of attractions in the area but also to provide convenient access to cultural landmarks such as Pollok Park, the renowned Burrell Collection, and the historic sites of Strathbungo, Shawlands, and Battlefield.
“Furthermore, with the inclusion of Hampden Stadium, football enthusiasts and tourists alike will have the opportunity to delve into the sporting heritage of our beloved city.
“This initiative not only enhances the visitor experience but also fosters local pride and economic growth.
“I eagerly anticipate the commencement of this summer tour, fostering greater connectivity and celebration of the Southside.”
