Learning history of Edinburgh through the headphones was great! We had a fantastic day out in Edinburgh as a family of four and would reccomend this tour. Staff were super friendly, and the buses were regular. Superb!

The buses were delayed and over-crowded. There must be a better way to manage crowds when such delays occur. Staff at bus stops told us they didn't know what was going on!
