  • Well Worth It!

    We loved having the live guides on these buses. It was also nice that it had stops across both the new town and old town. It wasn’t clear on Viator that you could start on any stop along the path, or where the stops were. It also doesn’t mention that for just £7 more per person, you can add the other two hop-on-hop-off buses in town, to have access to all three (you can “level up” on any of the buses).

  • Excellent Edinburgh experience

    Hop on hop off experience with live guide was fun and convenient to seeing sights in Edinburgh. Natalie and Scott were great live guides. Two thumbs up!

  • Good enough nut not entertaining.

    Upon asking when last bus was - was told 6:45 which is true unless you need to get from Rose street to Grassmarket. We ended up spending $10 in unplanned cab fare. Tour people were hard to hear and not funny at all. Boring which was unexpected and we had three. Try a red one.

  • A Great Tour

    Very good tour guides with loads of off beat information. The drivers were also helpful. I would definitely recommend to friends.

  • Riding all the way around...

    Riding all the way around the bus circuit is a great way to learn all about Edinburgh! The guides were so knowledgeable and friendly.
