Good wee trip.

Went on the blue tour, actually booked it by mistake, instead of red. Was good tour, with exceptionally good, funny driver. Went on the red tour right after it and hopped off and on a couple of times.

Great city layout tour!
Don_M
, Sep 2021
Enjoyed the River Ness and the history involving St. Columba. Great to get the layout of the city and area. Seeing the Caledonian Lochs was a nice plus along with the Dochgarroch Loch. It also nicely worked in history of the area with the Inverness Castle and Flora MacDonald statue.

Ear phones would have been handy as it was hard to hear the commentary, especially when the bus drove faster in the country. Not a huge amount to see but it was good to get your bearings of the city. Pleasant trip.

Not happy, no bus today, 29 Aug
Gay_D
, Aug 2021
The red Inverness bus was cancelled today because of an event so we couldn’t use the ticket. We also couldn’t find any map or list of stops on the website. We booked late yesterday in order to use the 24 hour ticket today but I got an email assuming I’d taken the trip even though my code couldn’t have been scanned as I hadn’t travelled. The office at the bus station was unable to find my booking so couldn’t refund it. I will pursue that by email or phone.

Poor quality
Iwona_Z

Very poor . They show you tesco, Morrison’s and industrial estates. Not even joking. Why would I want to see the supermarkets where there is so many beautiful sites to visit in Inverness ?! The tour took maybe 35 min max. You drive through a motorway and You can’t hear anything from the speakers. Just badly organised

victorypalm
, Sep 2017
I enjoyed these hop-on-hop-off bus tickets! One thing that must be recognized is that the busses have routes that they take. You need to have a map of those easily available at the bus booths, and be aware that if you want to go south and the bus route is headed north, you will need to stay on the bus until it takes you in the direction you want. Most busses are narrated live or via audio they provide free earphone jacks in little sealed packets. After walking everywhere, these bus rides/tours are wonderful for touring the area in comfort. The upper deck allows for great picture-taking in good weather, too. When you want to get off, they have buttons to push to tell the driver you want to get off. They stop at all the stopping places anyway, but pushing the button will give you time to get downstairs. I highly recommend the HOPO Tour bus tickets if you are relying on public transportation or walking for your visit, and even as a first-time-around-the-city orientation tour.

Robert G
, Jun 2017
This is our second experience with this company. This one was again not up to expectations. The one bus ran only once every hour. We missed the first stop by just about a minute. We saw the bus as we departed a shuttle bus only to have to walk nearly a mile to get to another stop. The bus was extremely noisy, and we could not hear the narrative. This was by far the worst hop-on hop-off experience we have ever had. We have done many of them in our travels. Don't waste your time on this one. Far easier to just walk to sites within the city.

Royden

The driver was friendly, but the sights lacked interest. There was no available online map so you have to pick one up at the main stop. The bus engine was loud so it was difficult to hear the tour recording about the town. However, showing a ticket from a Jacobite tour does get you a discount.
