Really enjoyed the tour we hoped on and off along the journey and discovered a few places we would have missed without the tour. The whole family enjoyed the horrible history's guide as well

My mom and I went to Edinburgh for the first time; we stayed near downtown. I recommend this experience to get a general sense of the city.

With the sightseeing bus, you can see Edinburgh’s top attractions without having to walk too much; it drops you off near all the major sites and is comfortable. Plus, if it rains, you can stay dry, and the commentary helps you learn a lot more about the city. I recommend it 100%.

We got out of the rain. And everything else went really well. The guide was friendly and helped us a lot. The only downside was a sick family—they were coughing a lot—but everything went smoothly on every trail after that.

Great service for exploring the city with a brief tour. The ability to hop on and off as often as you like is fantastic for getting around comfortably. I recommend this service to everyone, especially those who have trouble walking long distances. The bus runs every 5–10 minutes at each stop; we never had to wait more than a few minutes to get back on. I’ll definitely use it again in the future, even in other cities!

It was a great way to see the city and some of its highlights. We did the entire loop at first. Then got on and off where we wanted to. I can't believe I have never done this before.

    It was great to see Edinburgh from the top deck. We went round the City 3 times. Less walking for my husband.
