    Hop on/off bus was great! We got to see so much more of Edinburgh by riding the bus and the narrated information was incredible- we learned so much.We bought the tickets that included Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace & the Royal Yacht Britannia tour. When we arrived at the Castle, we walked past the throngs of tourists waiting in line and entered the premises with our prepaid time-stamped tickets. It was fabulous! We didn’t didn’t leave ourselves enough time for Holyrood Palace but we had been there last year, so opted to take the bus to Dean Village instead & walk along the waters of Leith, followed by a tour of the Botanic Gardens. Our last stop was the Royal Yacht Britannia and it did not disappoint. It was amazing!
