Fun Little Trip

4.00Fun and quirky ride around Edinburgh. Some interesting stories of the spooky past of the city and a bit of bus theater. Bus windows do tend to fog up so hard to see the sights as you travel around.
They do a good job...

2.00They do a good job creating an atmosphere but this is not a historical tour. It’s pretty corny and you will laugh at the stupidity. You do get off the bus once for what’s seems like no reason.
Not Worth The Money

2.00This tour was sadly a bad comedy hour. Bad seating and not much to see. The Tour Guide wasn't at fault as he was just following a routine that he does multiple times a week.
Decent
