3.00The tour was very good. The tickets wouldn’t download (and spent much time trying) had to go to the bus station to sort it out; even with that, problems when boarding the bus.finally got on and enjoyed the tour.

5.00We went on three different buses. Each guide gave a different commentary, so it's good to do that. One was particularly funny and entertaining, though all were informative. This is a good way to see Edinburgh and orientate yourself for your own on foot exploration.
So Good I Rode Around Twice
