My daughter and I loved our Hop on Hop off bys tour in Edinburgh so much that we booked a 48 hour tour for the last 2 days of our holiday. I booked our first bus trip for orientating ourselves in Edinburgh as aoon as we got off our train. We found it So useful to map out in our heads exactly how far apart iconic landmarks were and also a rough idea of close it woukd be to walk between linked areas. It also guaranteed us seeing the principle 'must sees' and enabled us to prioritise getting directly to places we wanted to visit in more detail thus maximising our precious time on our visit. We loved your drivers; so friendly helpful and knowledgeable, we felt really welconed and it was an integral part of our ecperience. We used the complimentary headphones to listen to the historical background and stories of the city's background. We loved the scottish music playing which added to the fun and spirit of being in Edinburgh. We decided to lisren with just one ear phone in so that we could speak to each other and comment on things to look out for or chat about what we had learned. Being able to ride for 24 hours was a real help as there is just so much to see and take in, and listening to the commentary at least twice helped us to remember it better. The 2nd tour i booked was the Royal Edinburgh 48hr tour where we experienced the wonderful city guide Colin. He was amazing! The difference if having a live commentary was simply fabulous and we hear and learned even more about this wonderful city. We didnt get to see everything we wanted to see and will definitely be returning to spend more time in the galleries. We will be definitely be buying another tour bus trip because it makes travelling direct to places of interest much easier than wondering which bus goes to where we wanted to be. I would highly recommend any of the Edinburgh tour buses without hesitation.

The bus was clean, on time and we loved the narration. It gave us a quick overview of the city and we went back to some places later on in our trip.

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!

We used both the red and blue routes in Edinburgh and we very happy. Loved the tour guide narration and the drivers were very kind. Only think that makes me not stay 5 stars is the audio narrations would often be out of sync with our location. Highly recommend. Utilized the 48 hour ticket and eventually used the service as our bus to and from.

The actual route in Edinburgh hit many highlights of the city. We had a problem with the frequency of the pick up once we hopped off. We thought the bus would have a 10 minute wait, between one bus leaving and the next coming. We waited ~20 minutes, and couldn't make our ride back to the ship. So we had to practically run to our pick up spot, and still almost missed our shuttle back to the cruise ship
