  • Fun Little Trip

    Fun 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...

    They 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

    This 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.
