A Great Way to get around town. The bus has many stops at all the best places to sightsee. Given traffic in Edinburgh, it was the easiest way to get from point A to point B rather than walking.

Great way to get your bearings and an introduction in Edinburgh. We did an entire loop to get the history, then went to the places we were interested in. We had fun with limited time in Edinburgh.

The drivers are so nice and helpful. I took this bus to get a little lift and rest from walking the city. It has a great narrated audio to listen to while driving past historical sites.
